I went to Advanced Dental Care in Plainville, MA for a consult, and it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had, which I didn’t even know was possible! The staff was very welcoming, and check in was easy and fast. Though there was a bit of a wait, the TVs kept me entertained. Based on my prognosis, I felt they weren’t trying to get me to do any unnecessary procedures. I love Dr. Naiman!

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 is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled private dentist in Providence, RI who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Providence‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, most of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. 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 and attention.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Providence, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Providence dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also works with walk-in patients. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying oral health concerns may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural ones!

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 loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older 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 help you find a local Providence oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Doctors Network Discount Dental Plan and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles may be recommended too. 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, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Providence, RI who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your treatment fits 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 decreases the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without tooth roots, 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 lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Providence, RI who can strengthen your smile.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Providence dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. 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 can 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 Providence, RI dental professional who can provide these services and takes uninsured patients. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a complete smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With a monthly membership 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 lost several or possibly all of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the beauty, health, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To safeguard the health, beauty, and function of your smile, you need help from a good dental professional near Providence, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept most dental insurances!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could be complicated too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Providence dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as implants and fixed partial dentures or bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with most dental insurances.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on 4 dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Providence dentists who perform implants. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding a cosmetic dentist!

It is crucial for children to visit the dentist every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Providence who accepts uninsured patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80%. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster 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 child’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Providence.

Rhode Island is the smallest of the United States, though its importance to America’s history is undeniable. For instance, the Battle of Rhode Island marked the first attempt at cooperation between the French and U.S. against British forces. The founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, was also credited by Thomas Jefferson and John Adams as the inspiration behind the First Amendment. Today, Rhode Island is home to nearly 1.1 million residents, and taking care of their families is equally important. This is why dentists across the Ocean State have teamed up with Doctors Network to help their patients more easily afford the high-quality dental care they deserve. Through dental plans offered directly by their dentists, patients can enjoy unprecedented discounts on their dental treatments, from preventive visits to cosmetic, restorative, and prosthetic restorations, and more.
