One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is a toothache. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Loring, AK area near you who takes Aetna!


When the dental professional examines you, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, a dental restoration is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a dental filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to treat advanced decay. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance. If you have a toothache, use our search page to connect with Loring dentists who are open on Saturdays and request an appointment.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Kids need regular preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Loring, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin when all baby teeth come in, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Loring pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, children can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth caries. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, sealants can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna dentists in Loring who can offer care for kids, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care children not only can enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also learn the value of regular care. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you and your children!

We’ve reached the time of the year when kids and adults alike will be playing sports. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that they could sustain dental trauma. Sometimes, especially with full contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when trauma occurs, you need dental care. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of infected or abscessed teeth. Doctors Network can help you access a dentist that is open on Sundays in Loring, AK who can examine the situation.


The outer layer of the tooth provides protection against tooth decay. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the onset of tooth decay. But when a tooth is fractured, it could lead to painful symptoms. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you can always let us know if you need a Loring dentist who accepts Aetna for less severe emergencies. Unexplained discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could compromise your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth are causes for concern as well. You also need care if a tooth filling or crown falls out!


Once you visit Doctors Network and begin searching for your Loring, AK dentist, take steps to avoid complications by taking a store bought pain medication. A piece of gauze can control any bleeding. Applying an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them in a sealed container. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When winter ends, people go out more to enjoy the beautiful weather, and of course, we want to look our best when we socialize, which is why many people seek to undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to improve imperfections. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding and gaps can be fixed with Invisalign®. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help connect you to Loring dentists who take on patients who have Aetna and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


Correcting your smile starts with a comprehensive exam with your dentist in Loring, AK. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent of your esthetic concerns in order to come up with a tailored treatment for your smile. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can repair teeth and mask imperfections in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and manage gum disease. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you don’t have a dentist in the Loring, AK area, we can help! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Aetna. We want to help you obtain a smile that makes you feel great!

When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an emergency dental visit with one of our great Loring endodontists for a root canal redo.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then applied to the interior. Often, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if there are complications with the procedure, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Loring, AK that can offer another root canal and accepts Aetna.


If you don’t have dental coverage don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a discount dental plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can obtain a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a local Loring oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and performs ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental 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 various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


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, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Loring, AK who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

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.
