Doctors Network

In Big Sky Country, oral health is just as important as a good pair of boots. Painful or missing teeth can make it nearly impossible to chomp down on a bison burger, or enjoy one of the state’s famous huckleberry pies. What’s more, poor oral health can lead to health problems ranging from gum disease to heart failure! Think about it this way—not maintaining your oral health now is like not filling up your tank before driving on the I-90. Ignoring your teeth will lead to series issues down the line. So, contact your dentist today to learn how you can maintain your teeth daily to keep them strong and healthy for life.

Just like how you plow the road after a big snow storm to remove ice and debris, brushing your teeth twice a day is vital for removing plaque. For a bright, healthy smile, you need to clear the bad stuff out of the way. Brushing and flossing daily is the best thing you can do for maintaining your smile for life, and it just takes a few minutes! For more impact, use mouthwash, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, and, of course, schedule a visit with your dentist at least twice per year.

    Who is Dr. Blake Sherwood DMD?
    view full bio

    Dr. Blake Sherwood has always felt that giving back to his community was of the utmost importance. While attending Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Sherwood earned a scholarship from the U.S. Air Force that gave him the opportunity to receive advanced dental training and give back to his country. After graduating with honors, Dr. Sherwood went to Maxwell Air Force Base to complete officer training, then completed a one-year dental residency program at Barksdale AFB. During this time he was trained in orthodontics, laser surgery techniques, oral sleep appliance therapy, CBCT implementation, same-day crown delivery, bone graft placement and management, implant placement and restoration, periodontal surgery, clear-tray aligner orthodontics, Invisalign, and moderate sedation techniques.

    Dr. Sherwood also spent time at Whiteman AFB where he worked with an Air Force dental team that taught him the importance of patient safety and comfort. He carries those lessons with him to this day, using them as the foundation for his own practice. Today, Dr. Sherwood enjoys treating patients in the Plains area and getting involved with his community.

What are dental implants?

t

Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, and they can last for many decades with proper oral hygiene. They are made from titanium alloys, which does not contain nickel and cobalt. This means that they are biocompatible and will not irritate gums. These tooth implants restore tooth functions and aesthetics and promote bone preservation and healing. If you are missing one or multiple of your teeth, dental implants can be the best option. They can also help people who have difficulties masticating, speaking, breathing, and swallowing. Implants can be used to improve patients' oral health, appearance, and quality of life. Implants are false teeth replacements that attach to the gum and bone tissue by means of screws or crowns. The screw is inserted into the jawbone. The crown is attached onto the implant. It is then capped with either a porcelain or porcelain fused to metal crown. There are different kinds of dental implants. Some are more longer lasting while others are less durable. There are two main types of dental implants: the Osseointegrated Dental Implants, and the Endosteal Dental Implants. • Osseointegrated implants use bone to connect to the implant. • Endosteal Implants rely on a separate crown and Artificial Bone. Osseointegrated Dental Implants are popular since they are more effective at restoring teeth that have been lost. They are stronger and look more natural looking than an endosteal implants. The titanium-ceramic dental implants are made of pure Titanium with an outer ceramic or porcelain coat. These implants can replace a single tooth or be used to support implant supported dentures. The titanium-zirconium implants ore dental implants are made using both zirconium and titanium oxide. There are other types of dental implants each designed to serve a specific purpose.

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.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
