One of the most common reasons to seek dental care is pain in one or more teeth. While temporary aches could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus problems, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a persistent tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding while asleep. When you have an aching tooth, you most likely need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Pelican, AK area who takes Aetna!


When the dental professional examines you, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, the right treatment is chosen. For kids and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A crown could also be used to address major cavities. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile. If you have a toothache, use our search page to connect with Pelican dentists and request an appointment.

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Kids require routine preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the wisdom teeth. If you need to request an online appointment a pediatric dentist in Pelican, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Pelican pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, children can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, these protective sealants can last as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna family dentists in Pelican who can provide children’s dentistry, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care children not only enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also learn the value of regular care. These visits 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 right dentist for you and your children!

We have reached the season when kids and adults alike will be getting active. While we hope everyone has a great time, we know that their teeth could be at risk. In some situations, especially with full contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when damage occurs, you need emergency treatment. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of aching teeth. Doctors Network can help you access a dentist that is open on weekends in Pelican, AK who can assess the situation.


The outer layer of the tooth protects the dentition. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the risk of dental infection. But when a tooth is cracked, it could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Pelican dentist who accepts Aetna for more minor complaints. Persistent discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth are causes for concern as well. You also need care if a crown or tooth filling comes loose!


After you contact Doctors Network and begin the search for your Pelican, AK dentist, take steps to avoid complications by taking over-the-counter medications to ease discomfort. A piece of gauze can stem bleeding. 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 office. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When winter ends, 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 cosmetic dentistry. 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 bright, healthy teeth. We want to help connect you to Pelican dentists who take on patients who have Aetna and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


You can start cosmetic treatments with a cosmetic consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Pelican, AK. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using intraoral camera technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent of your concerns to find the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could remove discolorations. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and protect your periodontal health. Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with malocclusion, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you don’t have a cosmetic dentist in the Pelican, 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 is also healthy and strong!

When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our knowledgeable Pelican endodontists for a root canal redo.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of 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 complications with eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dental office in Pelican, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts Aetna.


If you don’t have dental coverage don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make care affordable. With a simple monthly rate, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

Major problems arise 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 break down of density 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 make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a local Pelican dentist who is in-network with Aetna and provides jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could be employed as well. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Pelican, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care fits in 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.
