A common reason to look for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While sudden discomfort could occur for many different reasons, including sinus concerns, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a lasting toothache could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding. When you have a toothache that lingers, you probably need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Thorne Bay, AK community who takes Aetna!


When the dentist examines your smile, advanced technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids 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 advanced decay. When possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance. If you have persistent discomfort, use our search module to connect with Thorne Bay dentists who are open on Sundays and request an appointment in seconds.

This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to request an online appointment a family dentist in Thorne Bay, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Thorne Bay pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth caries. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as ten years in some cases.

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 dental injuries are possible. Sometimes, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could be damaged, and when dental trauma occurs, you need dental care. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of tooth decay. Doctors Network can help you find a 24-hour emergency care center in Thorne Bay, AK who can repair your smile.


The outer layer of the tooth protects the dentition. 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 even if the damage appears minor. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Thorne Bay dentist who accepts Aetna for less obvious emergency situations. Sudden toothaches and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth could lead to weakened smiles as well. You also need care if a crown or tooth filling falls out!


Once you contact Doctors Network and begin searching for your Thorne Bay, AK dentist, you should take action by taking a store bought pain medication. Cloth or 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. 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 to look our best when we socialize, which is why many people seek to brighten their teeth. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to fight teeth stains. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding can be treated with orthodontics. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of bright, healthy teeth. We want to help connect you to Thorne Bay dentists who take on patients who have Aetna and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve optimal smile beauty.


Correcting your smile starts with a consultation with your dentist in Thorne Bay, 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 and cause of your concerns in order to come up with the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can repair teeth and mask imperfections in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers 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 uneven teeth, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not currently have a dentist in the Thorne Bay, 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 is also healthy and strong!

When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is required. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an online appointment with one of our Thorne Bay emergency dentists for a root canal retreatment.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an urgent care center in Thorne Bay, AK that can offer another root canal and accepts Aetna.


If you don’t have an insurance plan 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 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 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a great Thorne Bay oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and performs this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting 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 taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials could also be used. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, one or more 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 in Thorne Bay, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your treatment 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.
