Perhaps, the most common reason to seek dental care is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While temporary aches could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For instance, a lingering toothache 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 while asleep. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Nelson Lagoon, AK community who takes Aetna!


When the dentist examines you, advanced technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. From there, a dental restoration is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to address more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile. If you have an aching tooth, use our search module to connect with Nelson Lagoon emergency dentists and request an appointment.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. 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 malocclusion, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Nelson Lagoon, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Nelson Lagoon pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids 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 protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can protect the teeth as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna dentists in Nelson Lagoon who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care kids not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the value of good oral hygiene. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that initial dental exam. So, use our search tool to find the best practice for you and your children!

We’ve reached the season when kids and adults alike will be enjoying sports and outdoor activities. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that their teeth could be at risk. Sometimes, especially with full contact sports, teeth could become cracked or chipped, and when trauma occurs, you need emergency treatment. 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 Saturdays in Nelson Lagoon, AK who can assess the situation.


The outside of each tooth provides protection against tooth decay. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the risk of dental infection. But when a tooth is fractured, this could alter the appearance of your smile. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you can always let us know if you need a Nelson Lagoon emergency dentist who accepts Aetna for less severe emergencies. Unexplained discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth could lead to serious problems as well. You also need care if a tooth filling or any kind of dental restoration falls out!


After you visit Doctors Network and begin looking for your Nelson Lagoon, AK dentist, take steps to avoid complications by taking an over-the-counter pain reliever. A piece of gauze can be helpful also. A cold compress can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you to the dentist. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When the season changes, people start going out more and enjoying the beautiful weather, and of course, we want to look our best when we socialize, which is why many people seek to brighten their teeth. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed purely to correct common esthetic issues. Teeth stains can be removed, and even misalignment can be corrected. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help connect you to Nelson Lagoon cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Aetna and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


You can start cosmetic treatments with a comprehensive exam with your dentist in Nelson Lagoon, AK. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using intraoral camera technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause and extent of your esthetic concerns to find a personalized treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can address dental damage in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not currently have a dentist in the Nelson Lagoon, AK area, we can connect you with one! 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 becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our knowledgeable Nelson Lagoon dentists or endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then applied to the interior. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Nelson Lagoon, AK that can offer retreatment and accepts Aetna.


If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make care affordable. With a monthly membership fee, you can receive a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. 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 good Nelson Lagoon oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and provides ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


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 Nelson Lagoon, AK who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care 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.
