One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus problems, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a persistent toothache could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you probably need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Shungnak, AK community who takes Aetna!


When the dentist examines your smile, digital x-rays are used to assess the severity of the cavity. then, the right treatment is chosen. For children 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 more severe cases. 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 module to connect with Shungnak dentists who are open on Saturdays and request an appointment in seconds.

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Children need routine preventive dentistry as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the wisdom teeth. If you need to book an online appointment a pediatric dentist in Shungnak, AK with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin when all baby teeth come in, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Shungnak pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition 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 protect the teeth as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna dentists in Shungnak who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only can enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also understand 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 best dentist for you and your family!

We have reached the time of the year when children and adults alike will be getting active. While we hope everyone has a great time, we know that they could sustain dental damage. In some situations, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when damage occurs, you need dental care. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of aching teeth. Doctors Network can help you book an appointment with an emergency dentist in Shungnak, AK who can repair your smile.


The outer layer of the tooth is coated in enamel. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from oral health complications. But when a tooth is fractured, this could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment even if the damage appears minor. Likewise, you can always let us know if you need a Shungnak emergency dentist who accepts Aetna for less severe emergencies. Persistent discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could compromise your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth could lead to serious problems as well. You also need care if a tooth filling or any kind of dental restoration falls out!


Once you visit Doctors Network and begin the search for your Shungnak, AK dentist, you should take action by taking over-the-counter medications to ease discomfort. A piece of gauze can be helpful also. 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 milk or salt water.

When winter ends, people go out more to enjoy the beautiful weather, and of course, we want our smiles to shine when we socialize, which is why many people seek cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to improve imperfections. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding or gaps between the teeth can be corrected with braces. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Shungnak dentists who take on patients who have Aetna and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


Correcting your smile starts with a cosmetic consultation with your dentist in Shungnak, AK. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using digital technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent of your cosmetic concerns to come up with a tailored treatment for your smile. For stains, professional teeth whitening could brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and manage gum disease. Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


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

When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Shungnak endodontists for a root canal retreatment.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then restored 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 compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Shungnak, 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 membership plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, 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 a variety of meals. Even clear speech 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 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 make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a local Shungnak dentist who is in-network with Aetna and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could also be used. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


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 in Shungnak, AK who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

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.
