One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While temporary aches could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, 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, you probably need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Lake Minchumina, AK area who takes Aetna!


When the dental professional examines you, imaging technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. then, the right treatment is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a dental filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile.

Did you ever notice popping or cracking when you open your mouth? Do you have aching jaw and facial pain? If so, this could be related to widespread jaw joint disorders. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMD and teeth grinding. Without treatment, these could not only cause pain, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can find the right dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK who accepts Aetna.


While very different from one another, these two disorders are often related. TMJ disorder develops when the the temporomandibular joints become strained. This could cause problems when you eat or speak. Common symptoms include pain in the face, head and neck, and jaw. Bruxism means you often grind your teeth or clench your jaw. The pressure could cause headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also fracture or break your teeth. This damage could lead to cavities, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that strain the jaw joints, 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 Lake Minchumina who accepts Aetna.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following dental bonding, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion with orthodontic treatment could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option offered by most dental professionals is an oral splint, which fits like a night-guard. If you need to find treatment from a Lake Minchumina dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have an infected tooth that requires attention? If so, the placement of a dental crown could treat your concerns. The dental crown is custom-made for your smile and can return function, health, and beauty to your smile. Our team can help find you a Lake Minchumina, AK dentist who can restore your teeth, and also who will accept Aetna. Do not risk an infection!


One of the initial signs of trouble could be a toothache. This could be due to the presence of a cavity. As discomfort worsens, you could risk worsening infection or even tooth loss. A trauma that fractures a tooth could also lead to complications like infection and tooth decay with time. In these situations, restorative treatment is usually necessary. If the tooth defect is too severe for a dental filling, then you may need a full dental restoration.


The dental crown is a durable restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire visible portion of your tooth. They could be made from biocompatible materials like gold. However, most dental professionals in the Lake Minchumina, AK area offer more lifelike options made from porcelain. The total placement process takes one to two visits on average. The crown, whether we use a metal or more aesthetic options, will be custom-made for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic helps ensure a balanced occlusion, protecting your dentition from the onset of bruxism. If you have a tooth that needs treatment then talk to Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental offices that fit your needs and accept Aetna.

It is crucial for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Lake Minchumina who takes Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay 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 great tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Lake Minchumina.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK that accepts Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Lake Minchumina dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request a consultation with a Lake Minchumina dentist that accepts Aetna, we can help you find a fantastic 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.
