dental-implants-or-bridge

As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled United Healthcare dentist in Shaktoolik, AK who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


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


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

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you have a sleep disorder, you may not think a dentist could help. But in fact, United Healthcare dentists can provide a noninvasive and comfortable solution to help you breathe better while sleeping. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that as you sleep, the soft palate and the tissues around the throat collapse and cause you to stop breathing. Patients with OSA literally stop breathing for a few seconds until the brain notices a drop in oxygen. Even if you believe you slept well, you’re actually sleep deprived! But when is it necessary to talk to Doctors Network to find Shaktoolik, AK dentists who provide treatment options?


Symptoms of sleep apnea include snoring on a nightly basis. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and trouble with interpersonal relationships could occur too. Without intervention, OSA could impact your immune system and heart health. When you experience similar signs, consider seeing a dental professional. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be used as a CPAP alternative, so you can finally sleep comfortably.

tooth-bonding

If you have a fractured tooth or one that is yellow stained, then you could benefit from cosmetic dentistry. With tooth reshaping and tooth-color fillings in Shaktoolik, AK, these and other aesthetic imperfections can be treated in one visit. At Doctors Network, we aim to help connect you with a dental expert in Shaktoolik, AK who accepts United Healthcare and provides the comprehensive treatments you need. You may not believe just how much tooth-colored bondings can correct in one appointment.


Tooth-colored bonding repairs esthetic concerns with composite resin materials. The bonding material, a mixture of glass and acrylic particles, is shaded and placed in several layers. Shaktoolik cosmetic dentists also use the same material to fill tooth cavities. With dental contouring, the dentist buffs and sands the outer tooth surfaces to correct the appearances of cosmetic concerns.


This week we are celebrating our Brooklyn dental offices. With both services, these dentists can reshape malformed teeth, fixed broken or fractured teeth, mask teeth stains, and close spaces between the teeth.

Periodontal disease is very widespread. In fact, studies from the Centers for Disease Control reveal half of adults over the age of thirty require treatment for periodontal concerns. Without treatment, gum disease could reach an advanced stage. Also known as periodontitis, this is actually the most common cause 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 consult a Shaktoolik dental clinic.


Doctor Network’s dentist search tool can streamline searching for walk-in dentists in Shaktoolik AK that accept United Healthcare and can offer a route to a healthier smile after a dental examination. If there is any sign of inflammation, then a treatment can be planned. For milder cases, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every three to four months could safeguard the smile. For the later stages of the disease, there are options like gum grafts, laser dentistry, and more to restore your gums!

As children, many of us grind our teeth for short periods of time. The issue tends to last only a few months. But for some, bruxism could mean the issue persists into and throughout adulthood, and the pressure from clenching your teeth could lead to major complications. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures could leave your smile vulnerable. You’re also more likely to develop tooth decay 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 Shaktoolik.


Your partner or spouse may let you know you grind your teeth in your sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include jaw pain and tooth sensitivity. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the causes of teeth grinding. They could correct misalignment with clear aligners, or even replace missing teeth with prosthetics. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable occlusal splints. So don’t ignore the indicators of bruxism, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts United Healthcare.

You can’t put a price on showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implant-supported prosthetics. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, 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 address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much a dental implant costs near Shaktoolik, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Shaktoolik dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. 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 United Healthcare. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership 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 new teeth that look and function like natural dentition!

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.
