dental-implants-or-bridge

As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled Guardian dentist in Shaktoolik, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Shaktoolik‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you have a poor sleeping pattern, you may not assume a dentist could help. In fact, Guardian dentists can often provide a comfortable option to help you breathe without interruption. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which when you sleep, the soft tissues in the throat and the tissues around the throat collapse and cut off airflow. People actually stop breathing briefly until the brain notices a drop in oxygen. Even if you assume you slept well, you could experience daytime drowsiness! But when is it time to contact Doctors Network and find Shaktoolik, AK dentists who could offer treatment with oral appliance therapy?


Symptoms of OSA could include loud and frequent snoring. Daytime headaches, and irritability could occur too. With no treatment, OSA could strain your immune system and increase the risk of heart disease. When you experience similar symptoms, consider finding out your treatment options. Often, oral appliance therapy can be used to keep air passages clear while you sleep, so you can finally sleep well.


This week we are honoring our dental professionals in Manhattan.

tooth-bonding

If you have a fractured tooth or one that is yellow stained, then you need a cosmetic consultation. With contouring and dental bonding in Shaktoolik, AK, these cosmetic imperfections can be treated in one visit. At Doctors Network, we are here to help connect you with a dental care professional in Shaktoolik, AK who accepts Guardian and offers cosmetic dentistry. You may be surprised to discover just how much these two treatments can do in one appointment.


Dental filling repairs aesthetic concerns using a metal-free material. The composite resin, a mix of glass and acrylic particles, is shaded and applied to the teeth. Shaktoolik general dentists also use the same material to fill tooth cavities. With dental contouring, the dentist simply sands and buffs the outer tooth surfaces to correct your damaged or malformed tooth.


This week we are celebrating our Brooklyn general dentists. With both treatments, these dentists can reshape malformed teeth, fixed broken or fractured teeth, mask stains on teeth, and even close embarrassing gaps between the teeth.

Periodontitis is a common oral health issue. In fact, studies from the CDC reveal half of adults over 30 suffer from the disease. Without treatment, gum disease could reach an advanced stage. Known as periodontal disease, this is actually one of the most common causes of edentulism. All that to say, when you develop the symptoms of the disease, you need to see a professional right away. Sore, red gums that bleed easily, along with receding tissues, are common indicators that you need to see a Shaktoolik dental clinic.


Doctor Network’s dentist search tool can help connect you with dental clinics in Shaktoolik AK that accept Guardian 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 or moderate periodontitis, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every 3 to 4 months could safeguard the smile. For the more advanced stage, there are options like laser dentistry, pocket reduction, gum grafts, and more to protect your smile!

As children, 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 chronic teeth grinding into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from grinding and clenching your teeth could damage your smile. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures could change your appearance. You are also more likely to develop cavities or even dental abscesses, which is why if you grind your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to book an online appointment with a dental professional in Shaktoolik.


Your partner or spouse may let you know you grind your teeth in your sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include toothaches and tooth sensitivity. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the causes of teeth grinding. They could correct misalignment with clear aligners, or even replace missing teeth with prosthetics. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable oral splints. So don’t ignore the possible warning signs, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts Guardian.

You can’t put a price on a full 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 missing teeth, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures 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 tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs in Shaktoolik, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Shaktoolik dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. 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 works with Guardian. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural ones!

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.
