As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a dedicated DentaQuest dentist in Upper Lake, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to an awesome dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Upper Lake‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate 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 trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as bridges or removable 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.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Upper Lake, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Upper Lake dentist who can offer tooth replacement. 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 accepts DentaQuest. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth 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 talking clearly 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 leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a good Upper Lake oral surgeon who is in-network with DentaQuest and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Upper Lake, CA who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental discount 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 articulate. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the structure 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 upper jaw? Instead of adding new tissue, your Upper Lake dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new support structure. The new structure can support your new 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 jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Upper Lake, CA dental professional who can offer a sinus lift and takes DentaQuest. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, 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 complications with bite functions, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses bone density following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. 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 dental professional who provides unique implant dentures.


Traditional dental implant dentures need between 6 and 8 posts per jaw. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with a denture connected to them on the same visit. In fact, these are often known as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best DentaQuest dentists in Upper Lake who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book a dental visit.


If you have concerns regarding the cost of dental implants, then consider registering for 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 your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Upper Lake patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structure! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental professional around Upper Lake, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept DentaQuest!


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 TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become difficult as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means you risk the loss of even more teeth. In addition, you could begin to look much older! 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 DentaQuest.


Dental bridges could address a single gap in the smile. Dentures could provide solutions for more severe cases. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Upper Lake dentists who perform dental implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a prosthodontist!

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.
