Oral health declines 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 help you schedule an appointment with a local Elfin Cove oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and provides ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your mandible. Your dentist could use various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials may be recommended too. 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, the dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Elfin Cove, 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 major issues 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 the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Elfin Cove, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of adding new tissue, your Elfin Cove dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. 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 a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Elfin Cove, AK dental professional who can provide these services and takes Aetna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

It is imperative for children to visit a dental professional twice a year for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Elfin Cove who takes Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their adult teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80 percent. 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 naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Elfin Cove.

Many folks 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 bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Elfin Cove, AK that takes Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Elfin Cove dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 choose whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Elfin Cove dentist that takes Aetna, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been a long time since you last saw a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup as soon as possible. When you go in for consistent checkups, your dentist can closely examine your smile to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent carious lesions from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Elfin Cove, AK that accepts Aetna we can help you find a great match.

To begin your visit, a hygienist will clean your teeth thoroughly. This will remove built-up that is hard to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your smile feeling fresh.

Once your cleaning is done, your Elfin Cove dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they can provide treatment options. The Elfin Cove dental practice we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental needs. If you visit the dentist regularly they can monitor the health of your teeth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that takes Aetna, 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.
