As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly private dentist in Lincoln, NE who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Lincoln‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

You can’t put a price on an attractive 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 bone loss in the jaw. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Lincoln, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Lincoln dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes patients without dental insurance. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


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

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a great Lincoln oral surgeon who is in-network with Obama Care and provides jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken 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 jaw.


Once the area heals, biocompatible dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. 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 Lincoln, NE who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance 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 Lincoln, NE who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Lincoln dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. 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 stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Lincoln, NE oral surgeon who can address tooth loss and takes uninsured patients. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal 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 possible again!

Have you lost all of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses mass and density following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. In some cases, a breakdown in the facial structures could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to preserve your youthful features. But what if your jaw is too weak for traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Lincoln dentist who offers All-On-4s.


Traditional implant dentures need between 6 and 8 implants per arch. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of dental restorations. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture 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 private dentists in Lincoln who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book a dentist visit.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider getting our Direct Dental Plan. Our membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Lincoln patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, the health and function of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To safeguard the health, function, and beauty of your smile, you need help from a good dental practice nearby Lincoln, and we can help you find dentists that accept most dental insurances!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could be challenging too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Lincoln dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with most dental insurances.


Dental bridges could address a single gap in the smile. All on four dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Lincoln dentists who perform teeth implants. Do not let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

The beauty of nature is an important part of Nebraska’s identity. For instance, the Nebraska National Forest, which covers 141,159 acres, is the largest hand-planted forest in the United States. The state also holds the country’s largest indoor rainforest, found at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, as well as more miles of river and more underground water reserves than any other state in America. In addition to the beauty around them, Nebraska’s population of over 1.9 million people also emphasize nurturing their families and community, and when it comes to maintaining healthy, beautiful smiles, Doctors Network can make it much less costly. As part of Doctors Network, dentists across Nebraska can now offer patients direct dental plans that provide significant savings on every aspect of dental care, from routine prevention to expert smile enhancement and restoration.
