One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is a toothache. While toothaches and sensitivity could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For example, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by dental caries, 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 that does not subside, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Thornton, CA area near you who takes Aetna!


When the dental professional examines your smile, advanced technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. then, a dental restoration is chosen. For children and adults alike, a dental filling made from a composite resin 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.

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Children require regular checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to book an appointment with a pediatric dentist in Thornton, CA with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin when all baby teeth come in, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Thornton pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, children can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth cavities. Sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, sealants can protect the teeth as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Aetna family dentists in Thornton who can treat your entire family, let us know. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care children not only can enjoy healthy smiles, but they also learn the importance of caring for their smiles. 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 best practice for you and your children!

We have reached the time of the year when children and adults alike will be playing sports. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that their teeth could be at risk. Sometimes, especially with full contact sports, teeth could be damaged, and when trauma 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 a dentist that is open on Saturdays in Thornton, CA who can examine the situation.


The outside of each tooth is coated in enamel. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the risk of dental infection. But when a tooth is broken, chipped, or cracked, it could increase the risk of tooth decay. You need treatment even if the damage appears minor. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Thornton emergency dentist who accepts Aetna for more minor complaints. Unexplained discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could compromise your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth could lead to serious problems as well. You also need care if a crown or filling falls out!


Once you contact Doctors Network and begin looking for your Thornton, CA dentist, you can ease your discomfort by taking over-the-counter medications to ease discomfort. A piece of cloth can be helpful also. Using 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 office. 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 to undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to improve imperfections. Teeth stains can be removed, and even misalignment can be corrected. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Thornton dentists who take on patients who have Aetna and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


Correcting your smile starts with a cosmetic consultation with your dentist in Thornton, CA. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause and extent of your cosmetic concerns to find a personalized treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with malocclusion, Invisalign® may be possible.

When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our great Thornton dentists or endodontists for further treatments.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then added to the tooth. In many cases, the tooth is then restored with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, 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, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dentist in Thornton, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Aetna.


If you don’t have an insurance plan don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make your treatment fit your budget. With a simple monthly rate, you can receive a 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 loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a great Thornton oral surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could also be used. Some opt for synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Thornton, CA who offers this surgical procedure, 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.
