Dr. Michael Atencio knew that he wanted to become a dentist from a very young age. A terrible bike accident in the summer of 1974 left him with a bleeding lip, broken teeth, and lots of pain, and the only solution to his situation was a visit to the dentist's office. Although he was initially scared to go, he was happy he went. His dentist, Dr. Fred Coats, sewed up his lip, fixed his teeth, and relieved him of his pain. Before long, he had his smile back. Dr. Coats’ compassion and warmth towards him during his treatment inspired Michael and from that point on, there was only one thing he wanted to do with his life - become a dentist!

Dr. Atencio graduated in 1983 from Longmont High School and went straight into the Pre-Dental Program at Colorado State University. He then earned his DDS from the University of Nebraska Dental School in 1991. After graduation, Dr. Atencio and his wife made the move to Reno where they still live and work today. With his wife’s father, Dr. Gary Toogood, as his mentor, Dr. Atencio quickly learned all there is to know about treating patients and providing high-quality dentistry. He feels lucky every day to have the opportunity to help those in the wonderful community of Reno improve their oral health and gain confidence in their smiles.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Adolescents need routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the eruption of the wisdom teeth. If you need to request an online appointment a pediatric dental professional in Dollar Point, CA with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Dollar Point pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, 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 caries. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, 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 Dollar Point who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care kids not only enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance of good oral hygiene. Good oral health habits 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!

It is important for children to visit a pediatric dentist bi-yearly for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dental office in Dollar Point who takes Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their back molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Dollar Point.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Dollar Point, CA that accepts Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Dollar Point dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to get an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for approximately two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to book a visit online with a Dollar Point dentist that accepts Aetna, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
