As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Alexandria, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, restoring smile function. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Alexandria area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.

Nothing feels better than showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but far much longer with proper care.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs near you in Alexandria, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Alexandria dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also works with walk-in patients. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


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

A lot happens to our smile 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 structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a local Alexandria oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Doctors Network Dental Plan and provides ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could also be used. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, one or more dental implants could be placed. The body will allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Alexandria, AL who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can speak. But the most serious complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Alexandria, AL who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Alexandria dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise 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 new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Alexandria, AL dentist who can provide these services and takes patients without dental insurance. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a complete smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean major problems for your smile, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. 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 a set of implant-secured dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Alexandria cosmetic dentist who specializes in All-On-4 procedure.


Traditional dental implant dentures need between 6 and 8 posts per jaw. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of dentures. No need to undergo ridge augmentation 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 cosmetic dentists in Alexandria who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book an online dental appointment.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider signing up for 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 the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Alexandria patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the health, beauty, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental professional in Alexandria, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept most dental insurances!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could become challenging too. But the most severe complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Alexandria dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with most dental insurances.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. All on 4 dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Alexandria dentists that perform implants. Do not let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

Over 16% of Alabama residents are over the age of 65, while almost 23% are under the age of 18. For both age groups, personalized dental care is especially important. Older patients often require restoration or prosthodontic care to replace lost teeth; younger patients may need additional ongoing preventive measures, such as orthodontics, to avoid more serious issues later in life. On top of routine general dental care, treatment for seniors and children can cause the costs of your family’s dental care to skyrocket. Fortunately, Doctors Network offers families throughout Alabama a highly affordable alternative to managing dental care costs with a direct dental plan.

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.
