As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems eating. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a new Aetna dentist in Galena, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can examine your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Galena area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

When you have lost a tooth, it is crucial to fill in the area as quickly as possible. While there are clear aesthetic benefits, replacing your tooth can also help support the health of your jawbone and mouth in general. The process of completing your smile may seem daunting, but a fixed partial denture is a simple yet effective way to restore either a single missing tooth or several that are adjacent to one another. If you are looking for a dental professional in Galena, AK that is in-network with Aetna we can help you find one that can restore missing teeth with a fixed partial denture.


When you visit your Galena dentist, they can decide if a dental bridge is right for you. As noted, fixed partial dentures are most often used when someone has either a single missing tooth or several missing teeth next to one another. This is because this appliance is usually supported by existing teeth that are equipped with crowns to provide increased support. Because it is held in place by existing dentition, this option is a long-lasting solution.


Porcelain bridges are often made with advanced, bio-compatible porcelain that looks just like your natural teeth. This ensures that your prosthetic seamlessly fits in with the rest of your smile. Before your custom bridge is made, your dental professional will take meticulous images of your mouth, so it will be crafted to your exact needs. If you would like to schedule an appointment with a Galena dental practice that is in-network with Aetna, we can help you find a great one.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, the function and health of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structure! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental practice in Galena, and we can connect you to dental professionals that accept Aetna!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could become difficult as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Galena dentists or prosthodontists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Galena dentists that perform tooth implant. Do not let your smile continue to degrade, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

It is crucial for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dentist in Galena who accepts Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child 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 molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dental professionals 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. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Galena.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any grocery store, you see myriad products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Galena, AK that takes Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Galena dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home 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 choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book a consultation with a Galena dentist that takes Aetna, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last went to a dentist, you probably should schedule an appointment as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-yearly dental checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure nothing is awry. This helps prevent caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures in the future. If you are looking for a dentist in Galena, AK that takes Aetna we can help you find a great office.

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

Once your cleaning is over, your Galena dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential issues. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Galena dental office we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental complications. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your mouth.

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.
