dental-implants-or-bridge

As children, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled private dentist in Elkmont, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Elkmont area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, 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 many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you suffer from a poor sleeping pattern, you may not assume a dentist could help. But in fact, dentists can often provide a noninvasive and comfortable solution to help you breathe better while sleeping. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that when you sleep, the soft palate and the tissues around the throat collapse and cut off airflow. Patients with OSA literally stop breathing for a few seconds until the brain notices a drop in oxygen. Even as you think you slept well, you could feel tired! But when should you use the search tool on Doctors Network to find Elkmont, AL dentists who offer OSA treatment?


Symptoms of sleep apnea could include snoring on a nightly basis. Daytime headaches, and even moodiness could occur too. With no intervention, sleep apnea could strain your immune system and heart health. When you notice similar symptoms, consider seeing a dental professional. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be used as a CPAP alternative, so you can finally enjoy a good night’s rest.

tooth-bonding

If you have a chipped tooth or a tooth that is stained, then you could benefit from a cosmetic treatment. With contouring and tooth-color fillings in Elkmont, AL, these and other aesthetic imperfections can be treated in one visit. At Doctors Network, we can help connect you with a general dentist in Elkmont, AL who accepts new patients and offers cosmetic dentistry. You may not believe just how much tooth-colored fillings can correct in one sitting.


Composite restoration repairs cosmetic concerns effectively. The composite resin, a blend of glass-like and acrylic particles, is shaded and applied to the teeth. Elkmont cosmetic dentists also use the same material to treat tooth decay. During dental contouring, the dentist actually sands and buffs the outer tooth structure to correct the appearances of cosmetic concerns.


Today we are celebrating our Brooklyn family dentists. Between both services, these dentists can reshape malformed teeth, fixed broken or fractured teeth, mask teeth stains, and close embarrassing gaps between the teeth.

Periodontal disease is a common oral health issue. In fact, studies from the Centers for Disease Control reveal half of adults over 30 require treatment for periodontal concerns. Without treatment, gum disease could cause uncomfortable symptoms. Also known as periodontitis, this is actually one of the most common causes of adult tooth loss. All that to say, when you develop changes in your gums, you need to see a professional as soon as you can. Sore, red gums that bleed easily, along with receding tissues, are common indicators that you need to consult a Elkmont dental clinic.


Doctor Network’s search tool can facilitate finding cosmetic dentists in Elkmont AL that accept new patients and can offer a diagnosis after examining your smile. If there is any sign of gingivitis or gum disease, then a treatment plan can be created. For the early stages, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every three to four months could safeguard the smile. For severe periodontitis stages, there are options like laser dentistry, pocket reduction, gum grafts, and more to protect your gums!

In childhood, many of us clench our teeth for short periods of time. The issue tends to pass on its own. But for some, bruxism could mean the issue persists into and throughout adulthood, and the pressure from grinding and clenching your teeth could lead to major complications. Chipped and cracked teeth could change your appearance. You’re also more likely to develop cavities or even infected teeth, which is why if you notice changes to your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to book an online appointment with a dental professional in Elkmont.


Your partner or spouse may let you know you grind your teeth in your sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include jaw pain and tooth sensitivity. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the causes of teeth grinding. They could correct misalignment with orthodontics, or even replace missing teeth with dental implants. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable oral appliances. So don’t ignore these symptoms, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts patients without dental insurance.

Nothing feels better than a full smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble 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 bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial 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 address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Elkmont, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Elkmont dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your tooth loss, but also accepts walk-in patients. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying factors may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new teeth that look and function like natural ones!

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.
