As kids, 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 oral health complications. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a skilled Medicaid dentist in Occidental, CA who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild 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 fulls and partial dentures 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 mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Occidental‘s neighborhoods and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed 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 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 dental implants. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. 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 far much longer with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost near you in Occidental, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Occidental dentist who can offer implant 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 accepts Medicaid. 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 factors may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural teeth!

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 dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a great Occidental oral surgeon who is in-network with Medicaid and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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 Occidental, CA who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment 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 calcium and phosphate to the areas without teeth, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged 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 Occidental, CA who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Occidental dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new bone 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 jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Occidental, CA oral surgeon who can provide these services and takes Medicaid. 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 health, beauty, 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 dentist nearby Occidental, and we can help you find dentists that accept Medicaid!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could be challenging too. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Occidental dental professionals could discuss custom-made bridges and dentures, and select treatment options that could be covered with Medicaid.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Occidental dentists who perform tooth implant. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

It is crucial for your little ones to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dentist in Occidental who accepts Medicaid, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid 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 adult teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’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 network dental professionals in Occidental.

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.
