As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new Cigna dentist in Upper Lake, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your alveolar bone and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Upper Lake area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please celebrate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.

You can’t put a price on showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but possibly a lifetime with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost in Upper Lake, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Upper Lake dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your tooth loss, but also accepts Cigna. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying factors may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a good Upper Lake oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Cigna and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could also be used. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandibular bone.


Once the area heals, one or more dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Upper Lake, CA who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Upper Lake, CA who can shore up your jaw.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of grafting, your Upper Lake dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth can then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Upper Lake, CA oral surgeon who can address tooth loss and takes Cigna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a complete smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Have you lost all of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean major problems for your smile, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses mass and density following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, an older appearance could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to keep the jawbone strong. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Upper Lake prosthodontist who provides unique implant dentures.


Traditional fixed dentures need between six and eight posts per arch. But with All-on-4, only four small posts are necessary. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with a full set of dentures attached on the same visit. In fact, that’s why this is often referred to as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Cigna dentists in Upper Lake who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book an online dentist visit.


If you have a limited budget, then consider getting our Direct Dental Plan. This membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Upper Lake patients find affordable dental care, and enjoy a full smile again.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dental professional nearby Upper Lake, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Cigna!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could be complicated as well. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Upper Lake dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Cigna.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Upper Lake dentists who perform dental implants. Do not let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
