As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent private dentist in Weeden Heights, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Weeden Heights area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you experience chronic snoring, you may not think a dentist could help. In fact, dentists can often provide a comfortable solution to stop nighttime airway obstruction. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which as you sleep, the soft tissues in the throat and the back of your mouth collapse and cut off airflow. Patients literally stop breathing briefly until the brain wakes them. Even if you assume you slept well, you’re actually sleep deprived! But when is it time to contact Doctors Network and find Weeden Heights, AL dentists who could offer treatment with oral appliance therapy?


Sings of sleep apnea include chronic snoring. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and moodiness could be factors too. With no intervention, sleep apnea could impact your immune system and increase the risk of high blood pressure. When you experience similar signs, consider finding out your treatment options. Often, oral appliance therapy can be helpful as a CPAP alternative, so you can finally rest without sleep apnea symptoms.


This week we are honoring our dental care providers in New York, NY.

tooth-bonding

If you have a broken tooth or one that is misshapen or stained, then you could benefit from dental treatment. With enameloplasty and dental bonding in Weeden Heights, AL, these and other aesthetic imperfections can be treated in one visit. At Doctors Network, we aim to help connect you with a adult dentist in Weeden Heights, AL who takes new patients and offers cosmetic dentistry. You may not be aware just how much tooth-colored fillings can correct in only one visit.


Tooth bonding repairs aesthetic concerns using a metal-free material. The material, a mix of glass and acrylic particles, is shaded and placed in several layers. Weeden Heights dentists also use the same material for fillings. With tooth contouring, the dentist simply sands the outer tooth structure to correct your damaged or malformed tooth.


This week we are honoring our Brooklyn cosmetic dentists. Using these two treatments, these dentists will be able to reshape malformed teeth, fixed broken or fractured teeth, mask teeth stains, and even close spaces between the teeth.

Periodontitis impacts millions of adults. In fact, studies from the CDC reveal half of adults over thirty suffer from the disease. Without treatment, gum disease could reach an advanced stage. Also known as periodontal disease, this is actually the most common cause of edentulism. All that to say, when you develop changes in your gums, you should seek help as soon as possible. Red and bloody gums are common indicators that you need to see a Weeden Heights general dentist.


Doctors Network can help connect you with walk-in dentists in Weeden Heights AL that accept new patients and can offer a treatment plan after a dental examination. If there is a presence of periodontal concerns, then a treatment can be planned. For mild to moderate periodontitis, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every three or four months could help you avoid tooth loss. For severe periodontitis stages, there are options like laser dentistry, gum grafts, and more to protect your gums!

When we are kids, many of us develop teeth grinding for short periods of time. The issue tends to last only a few months. But for some, bruxism could mean the issue persists into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from clenching and grinding your teeth could damage your smile. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures could leave your smile vulnerable. You are also more likely to develop tooth decay or even dental abscesses, which is why if you notice changes to your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to find a dentist in Weeden Heights.


Your significant other may let you know about your disorder. Otherwise, symptoms could include toothaches and tooth sensitivity. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the underlying factors. They could correct misalignment with braces, or even replace missing teeth with dental implants. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable occlusal splints. So don’t ignore the possible warning signs, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts private patients.

There is no substitute for 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 an older appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but possibly a lifetime with proper care.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Weeden Heights, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Weeden Heights dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts patients without dental insurance. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease 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!

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.
