As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age 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 youthful features. You need a skilled Guardian dentist in Petrey, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following tooth loss.


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


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

There is no substitute for an attractive smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, 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 replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Petrey, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Petrey 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 Guardian. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural dentition!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause a prematurely aged 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 link you to a good Petrey dentist who is in-network with Guardian and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles may be recommended too. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, one or more 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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Petrey, AL who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure 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 jaw 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 Petrey, AL who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Petrey dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Petrey, AL dentist who can address tooth loss and takes Guardian. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. 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!

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, the health and function of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental professional in Petrey, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Guardian!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could become challenging too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Petrey dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Guardian.


Dental bridges could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Petrey dentists who perform dental implants. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

It is imperative for your little ones to visit the dentist bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Petrey who accepts Guardian, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Petrey.

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.

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.
