As kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need an excellent Aetna dentist in Shageluk, AK who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to an awesome dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be custom-made. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be stablized with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Shageluk‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you find a Aetna dentist or oral surgeon in Shageluk, AK who can provide a gentle tooth removal 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 periodontitis. Taking out a tooth could improve bite 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 appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for full or partial dentures. Your Shageluk general dentist could use the extraction to improve the function, health, and even the beauty 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 connect you with a dentist in the Shageluk, AK area. But if you don’t have dental insurance, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom tooth extracted and are eager to divulge their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it is important to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Shageluk, AK that accepts Aetna.


The third molars are in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their presence can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this occurs, they are more susceptible to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very painful and can affect your existing teeth. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Shageluk dentist hastily.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth removal, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the procedure to make certain everything goes according to the plan. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also assess the appropriate type of sedation and the position of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain this information, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation option, so you will not feel any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and look after you the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will be provided with information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Shageluk dentists that accept Aetna and can skillfully pull your wisdom teeth.

It is paramount for children to visit the dentist on a biannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dental office in Shageluk who takes Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child 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 protective layer between their adult molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s enamel layer. While enamel is one of the strongest substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Shageluk.

Many people would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see countless products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shageluk, AK that accepts Aetna, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Shageluk dental care provider, 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 visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of stains.

If you would prefer to go with an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a consultation with a Shageluk dentist that takes Aetna, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been at least half a year since you last saw a dentist, you should schedule a checkup soon.

This helps prevent tooth decays from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures at a later time. If you are looking for a dentist in Shageluk, AK that accepts Aetna we can help you find a great practice.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Shageluk dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential problems. In case anything is out of the ordinary, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Shageluk dental practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental needs.

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.
