One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is to address a toothache. While temporary aches could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a persistent toothache could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Gustavus, AK area near you who takes Aetna!


When the dental professional examines you, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, a dental restoration is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a dental filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to treat advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile. If you have persistent discomfort, use our search page to connect with Gustavus dentists and request an appointment in seconds.

Did you ever notice popping or cracking when you open your mouth? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to two common jaw joint issues. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from chronic bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. Without treatment, these could not just cause jaw pain, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dentist in Gustavus, AK who accepts Aetna.


While very different from one another, we often find these are related. TMJ disorder develops when the joints connecting the jaw and skull are stressed. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the head and neck. Bruxism means you often grind your teeth or clench your jaw. The pressure of clenching could cause jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also weaken and damage the tooth structure. This damage could lead to cavities, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that cause bite imbalance, and untreated TMJ disorder could cause bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have frequent discomfort in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Gustavus who accepts Aetna.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following dental bonding, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion with aligners or braces could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option offered by most dentists is an oral appliance, which fits like a nightguard. If you need to find treatment from a Gustavus dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have an infected tooth that needs treatment? If so, the placement of a dental crown could help. The restoration is custom-made for your dentition and can give back function, health, and beauty to your smile. Our team can help find you a Gustavus, AK dental professional who can restore your smile, and also who will accept Aetna. Do not risk a lost tooth!


The first signs of trouble could be a toothache. This could mean the presence of decayed teeth. As tooth sensitivity worsens, you could risk worsening infection or even missing teeth. A trauma that fractures a tooth could also lead to complications like infection and tooth decay with time. In such cases, restorative treatment is usually necessary. If the tooth defect is too severe for a tooth-colored filling, then you may need crown placement.


The dental crown is a complete dental restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire outer tooth structure. They could be made from strong materials like silver. However, lots of dentists in the Gustavus, AK area offer more natural options fabricated from resin. The total placement process takes two individual appointments. The restoration, whether we use a metal or more lifelike options, will be personalized for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic ensures a balanced bite, protecting your smile from complications like temporomandibular joint disorders. If you have a tooth that needs repair then use Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental offices that fit your needs and take Aetna.

It is paramount for your little ones to visit the dentist every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dental office in Gustavus who accepts Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with protective sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their back molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to eighty percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your children’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Gustavus.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Gustavus, AK that works with Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Gustavus dental care provider, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to get 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 put these on for one or two hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book an appointment with a Gustavus dentist that takes Aetna, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
