As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Nikolai, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Nikolai area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. 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 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.

You can’t put a price on a full smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges 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.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost near Nikolai, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Nikolai dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also works with patients without dental insurance. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


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

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even talking 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 prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a local Nikolai oral surgeon who is in-network with Doctors Network Discount Dental Plan and performs this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Nikolai, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most serious complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Nikolai, AK who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of grafting, your Nikolai dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up 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 in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Nikolai, AK oral surgeon who can offer a sinus lift and takes new patients. 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 optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the health, beauty, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To prevent these complications, you need help from a good dental practice around Nikolai, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept dental insurance!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become complicated too. But the most serious complication is the the weakening of the jaw. This means you risk the loss of even more teeth. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Nikolai dental professionals could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with dental insurance.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on 4 dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Nikolai dentists that perform tooth implant. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

It is paramount for kids to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Nikolai who accepts new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their back teeth and germs. 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 effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your children’s enamel layer. 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 cavities. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Nikolai.

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.
