Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a good Tetlin oral surgeon who is in-network with 1199 and offers jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your mandible. Your dentist could use a number of different options. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could also be used. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, the 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 Tetlin, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can speak. But the most serious complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of phosphate and calcium 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 your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Tetlin, AK who can shore up your jaw.


As discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of adding new tissue, your Tetlin dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Tetlin, AK oral surgeon who can offer a sinus lift and takes 1199. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a complete smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. 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 is in your future!

It is paramount for children to visit a dental professional twice a year for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dental office in Tetlin who accepts 1199, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their back teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Tetlin.

Many people would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Tetlin, AK that accepts 1199, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Tetlin dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. When you visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of stains.

If you would prefer to go with an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to book a consultation with a Tetlin dentist that takes 1199, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last saw a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup soon. When you go in for bi-yearly checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure nothing is awry. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more expensive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule an online appointment with a dentist in Tetlin, AK that takes 1199 we can help you find a great office.

To begin your visit, a hygienist will clean your teeth thoroughly. This will remove tartar and plaque that is difficult to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your mouth feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Tetlin dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential issues. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Tetlin dentist we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can keep track of the health of your smile. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation with a dentist that takes 1199, we can help you find a great one.

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.
