dental-implants-or-bridge

As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems talking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a new in-network dentist in First Ward, NC who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind 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, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your maxilla and mandible and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the First Ward‘s neighborhoods and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you experience a sleep disorder, you may not assume a dentist could help. In fact, dentists can often provide a comfortable solution to stop nighttime airway obstruction. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that when you sleep, the soft palate and the tissues around the throat collapse and interrupt your sleep cycle. Patients literally stop breathing briefly until the brain notices a drop in oxygen. Even as you assume you slept well, you’re actually sleep deprived! But when should you talk to Doctors Network to find First Ward, NC dentists who provide treatment options?


Symptoms of sleep apnea could include snoring on a nightly basis. Daytime headaches, drowsiness, and even irritability could be factors too. Without treatment, sleep apnea could strain your immune system and your cardiovascular health. When you suffer similar signs and symptoms, consider finding out your treatment options. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be helpful to keep airways free of obstruction, so you can finally enjoy a good night’s rest.


This week we are celebrating our dental professionals in Manhattan.

tooth-bonding

If you have a broken tooth or a tooth that is misshapen or stained, then you might need a cosmetic consultation. With enameloplasty and tooth-color bonding in First Ward, NC, these and other aesthetic imperfections can be treated in one visit. At Doctors Network, we aim to help connect you with a cosmetic dentist in First Ward, NC who accepts new patients and can tackle your oral health concerns. You may not be aware just how much cosmetic dentistry can correct in one visit.


Composite bonding repairs cosmetic concerns with composite resin materials. The material, a mixture of glass-like and acrylic particles, is shaded and applied to the teeth. First Ward cosmetic dentists also use the same material for fillings. During tooth contouring, the dentist actually buffs and sands the outer tooth structure to correct issues with a tooth’s balance and shape.


This week we are honoring our Brooklyn general dentists. Between these two procedures, these dentists will be able to reshape malformed teeth, tackle dental emergencies, mask unattractive teeth stains, and close embarrassing gaps between the teeth.

Periodontitis is very widespread. In fact, studies from the CDC reveal half of adults over thirty have gum disease. Without treatment, gum disease could reach an advanced stage. Also 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 need to see a professional as soon as possible. Red and bloody gums are common indicators that you need to see a First Ward walk-in dentist.


Doctor Network’s search tool can help connect you with walk-in dentists in First Ward NC that accept new patients and can offer a diagnosis after examining your smile. If there is any sign of inflammation, then a treatment plan can be created. For less severe cases, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every 3 to 4 months could safeguard the smile. For the more advanced stage, there are options like laser dentistry, gum grafts, and more to restore your smile!

When we are kids, many of us grind our teeth for short periods of time. The issue tends to pass on its own. But for some, bruxism could mean grinding and clenching continue into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from clenching and grinding your teeth could injure your teeth. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures 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 book an appointment with a dentist in First Ward.


Your partner or spouse may let you know about your disorder. Otherwise, symptoms could include toothaches and tooth sensitivity. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the causes of teeth grinding. They could correct misalignment with braces, or even replace missing teeth with dental implants. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable occlusal splints. So don’t ignore these symptoms, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts new patients.

There is no substitute for showing off a perfect smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. 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 locked into 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.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost in First Ward, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a First Ward dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes patients without dental insurance. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural ones!

Whether it’s the Wright Memorial that commemorates man’s first successful powered flight or the Outer Banks that constitute some of the country’s most beautiful beaches, North Carolina holds something amazing for everyone. In addition to its natural and manmade wonders, the state has also seen the births of three American presidents: Andrew Jackson, James Polk, and Andrew Johnson. Today, residents who call the Tar Heel State home have another reason to be proud—the introduction of significantly more affordable, direct dental plans with the help of Doctors Network. Unlike insurance plans, direct dental plans are provided directly through your dentist, and guarantee substantial savings on every dental treatment you receive.

In North Carolina, nearly 23% of residents are younger than 18 and over 15% are over the age of 65—two age groups that often require more expensive specialized dental health care.

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.
