As kids, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a professional and friendly United Healthcare dentist in Metlakatla, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Metlakatla area and need a solution for tooth loss, 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 complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you experience a sleep disorder, you may not realize it, but a dentist near you could help. In fact, United Healthcare dentists can provide a non-invasive solution to help you breathe without interruption. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that when you sleep, the soft palate and the back of your mouth collapse and cause you to stop breathing. Patients with OSA literally stop breathing for a few moments until the brain alerts the body to resume breathing. Even if you assume you slept well, you could feel tired! But when is it time to contact Doctors Network and find Metlakatla, AK dentists who offer OSA treatment?


Symptoms of sleep apnea could include snoring on a nightly basis. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and even trouble with interpersonal relationships could be factors too. With no treatment, the condition could affect your immune system and your cardiovascular health. When you experience similar signs, consider seeing a dental professional. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be used to keep air passages clear while you sleep, so you can finally rest without sleep apnea symptoms.


This week we are honoring our dental practices in Manhattan, NY.

tooth-bonding

If you have a broken tooth or a tooth that is misshapen, then you could benefit from dental treatment. With enameloplasty and dental bonding in Metlakatla, AK, these and other cosmetic imperfections can be corrected in only one sitting. At Doctors Network, we are here to help connect you with a dental expert in Metlakatla, AK who takes United Healthcare and provides the comprehensive treatments you need. You may not believe just how much tooth-colored bondings can correct in a single appointment.


Dental restoration repairs aesthetic concerns using a metal-free material. The composite resin, a blend of glass and acrylic particles, is shaded and placed in the tooth preparation. Metlakatla cosmetic dentists also use the same material to repair dental caries. During contouring, the dentist simply sands and polishes the outer tooth enamel or restoration to correct the appearances of cosmetic concerns.


This week we are honoring our Brooklyn dental experts. Between both services, these dentists can reshape malformed teeth, repair dental damage, mask teeth stains, and even close embarrassing spaces between the teeth.

Periodontitis is very widespread. In fact, studies from the Centers for Disease Control reveal that fifty percent of adults over thirty suffer from the disease. Without treatment, gum disease could cause uncomfortable symptoms. Known as periodontitis, this is actually one of the most common causes of missing teeth. All that to say, when you develop discomfort in the gums, you should seek help as soon as you can. Sore, red gums that bleed easily, along with receding tissues, are common indicators that you need to find a Metlakatla family dentist.


Doctors Network can help connect you with walk in dentists in Metlakatla AK that accept United Healthcare and can offer a treatment plan after examining your smile. If there is a presence of gingivitis or gum disease, then a treatment can be planned. For mild or moderate periodontitis, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every three or four months could help you avoid tooth loss. For the later stages of the disease, there are options like pocket reduction surgery, laser dentistry, and more to protect your smile!

When we are kids, many of us grind our teeth for short periods of time. The issue tends to be temporary. But for some, bruxism could mean the issue persists into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from clenching and grinding your teeth could damage your smile. Chipped and cracked teeth could leave your smile vulnerable. You’re also more likely to develop cavities or even dental infection, which is why if you have bruxism, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to find a dentist in Metlakatla.


Your significant other may let you know you grind your teeth in your sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include jaw pain and headaches. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the oral health issues behind your bruxism. They could correct misalignment with clear aligners, or even replace missing teeth with prosthetics. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable oral splints. So don’t ignore the possible warning signs, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts United Healthcare.

There is no substitute for showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, most 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 prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. 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 want to know how much a dental implant costs in Metlakatla, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Metlakatla dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also works with United Healthcare. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying oral health concerns may need to be considered before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

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.
