A common reason to look for a dentist is to address a toothache. While temporary aches could occur for many different reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a persistent toothache could be caused by tooth decay, 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, you most likely need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Takotna, AK area 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 kids and adults alike, a dental filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A crown could also be used to address major cavities. When possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance. If you have an aching tooth, use our search page to connect with Takotna emergency dentists and book an appointment.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Adolescents need routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to book an online appointment a family dentist in Takotna, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Takotna 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 caries. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna family dentists in Takotna who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care children not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also learn 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 first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you and your family!

We’ve reached the time of the year when adults and children will be playing sports. While we hope everyone has a great time, we know that dental injuries are possible. Sometimes, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when damage occurs, care is needed. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of tooth decay. Doctors Network can help you find a dental care provider in Takotna, AK who can examine the situation.


The outside of each 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 broken, this could lead to painful symptoms. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Takotna 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 weakened smiles as well. You also need care if a tooth filling or crown comes loose!


After you contact Doctors Network and begin the search for your Takotna, AK dentist, you should take action by taking a store bought pain medication. Cloth or 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 with you to the dentist. They can be placed in a glass of milk or salt water.

When spring arrives, people start going out and enjoying the weather, and of course, we want an attractive smile when we socialize, which is why many people seek to undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed purely to correct common esthetic issues. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding can be treated with orthodontics. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Takotna cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Aetna and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


The first step toward a new smile is a consultation with your dentist in Takotna, AK. The doctor will carefully assess your cosmetic concerns. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause of your concerns to find the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could remove discolorations. 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 do not currently have a dentist in the Takotna, AK area, we can find a dental care provider for you! 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 infected, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is root canal therapy. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Takotna dentists for additional endodontic treatment.


Root canal treatment 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. 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 the procedure does not go as expected, the health of the tooth could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, don’t risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Takotna, AK that can offer another root canal 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 dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can receive a root canal retreatment at a reasonable cost!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even talking 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 an older appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. 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 Takotna dentist who is in-network with Aetna and offers this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. 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. 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 see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Takotna, AK who performs jawbone grafting, 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.
