As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontitis is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems speaking are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Platinum, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your alveolar bone and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Platinum‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


P. S. Please applaud our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a Aetna dentist in Platinum, AK who can offer a safe tooth extraction as needed.


As we touched on above, cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontal disease. Taking out a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and smile beauty. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for full or partial dentures. Your Platinum general dentist could use the procedure to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand when a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Platinum, AK area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a small fee each month. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth removed and are eager to divulge their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need these teeth pulled, it is important to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth extraction and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Platinum, AK that accepts Aetna.


The third molars are in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They usually appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last adult teeth, their presence can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual directions, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this happens, they are likely to succumb to harmful bacteria. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can affect your existing teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Platinum oral surgeon as soon as possible.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your doctor will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes according to the plan. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also determine the appropriate type of sedation and the position of your existing teeth and nerve. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia option, so you will not feel any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will be provided with post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Platinum dentists that accept Aetna and can skillfully remove your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for children to visit a dental professional bi-yearly for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dentist in Platinum who accepts Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with protective sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Platinum.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Platinum, AK that accepts Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Platinum dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a consultation online with a Platinum dentist that accepts Aetna, we can help you find a great one.

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.
