As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal 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 talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent in-network dentist in Loachapoka, AL who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Loachapoka area and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges are securely attached to 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 replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Loachapoka, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Loachapoka dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes patients without dental insurance. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at 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 teeth!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the break down of density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a local Loachapoka dentist who is in-network with discount dental plans and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation 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 freeze-dried bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through 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 see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Loachapoka, AL who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can talk. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure 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 Loachapoka, AL who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Loachapoka dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate 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 then stay firm for decades, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Loachapoka, AL dentist who can provide these services and takes patients without dental insurance. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a complete smile again. If you don’t have 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 can happen!

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the function, health, and beauty of your smile. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dentist around Loachapoka, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept dental insurance!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could become challenging too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means you risk the loss of even more teeth. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Loachapoka dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with dental insurance.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. All on four dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Loachapoka dentists who perform tooth implant. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

It is important for children to visit the dentist bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Loachapoka who takes uninsured patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Loachapoka.

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.
