As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an amazing Lincoln Financial Group dentist in Santa Margarita, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Santa Margarita area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

You can’t put a price on an attractive smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional options, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial 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.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs in Santa Margarita, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Santa Margarita 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 concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts Lincoln Financial Group. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


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 new teeth that look and function like natural dentition!

Oral health declines 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 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 book an online appointment with a good Santa Margarita oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Lincoln Financial Group and performs ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone may be recommended too. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Santa Margarita, CA who offers ridge augmentation, 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 meal options, or how clearly you can talk. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without tooth 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 gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Santa Margarita, CA who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of adding new tissue, your Santa Margarita dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, 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 preserve the area. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, 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 Santa Margarita, CA oral surgeon who can provide these services and takes Lincoln Financial Group. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our monthly membership plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

Have you lost all of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble eating a variety of foods, to difficulties talking. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, a prematurely aged appearance could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to preserve your facial structures. But what if your jaw is too weak for multiple dental implants? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Santa Margarita prosthodontist who specializes in performing All-On-4s.


Most fixed dentures need between 6 and 8 dental implants per jaw. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system this could still support a full set of dental restorations. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with a full set of dentures attached on the same visit. In fact, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Lincoln Financial Group dentists in Santa Margarita who can restore your new smile. You can even schedule an online dental appointment.


If you have a limited budget, then consider signing up for our Direct Dental Plan. Our membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on the cost of cosmetic dentistry. This helps our Santa Margarita patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may develop negative impacts on the health and beauty of your smile. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dentist nearby Santa Margarita, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Lincoln Financial Group!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? 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 TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become difficult as well. 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 Santa Margarita dentists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as implants and fixed partial dentures or bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Lincoln Financial Group.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Santa Margarita dentists who perform tooth implant. Don’t let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

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.
