Periodontitis impacts millions of adults. In fact, studies from the Centers for Disease Control reveal that about 50% of adults over the age of thirty have gum disease. Without treatment, gum disease could reach an advanced stage. Known as periodontitis, this is actually one of the most common causes of missing teeth. All that to say, when you develop the symptoms of the disease, you should seek help as soon as possible. Sore, red gums that bleed easily, along with receding tissues, are common indicators that you need to find a Port Lions dental surgeon.


Doctors Network can streamline searching for dental surgeons in Port Lions AK that accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer a route to a healthier smile after examining your smile. If there is any sign of periodontal concerns, then a treatment plan can be created. For the early stages, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every three to four months could safeguard the smile. For the later stages of the disease, there are options like pocket reduction surgery, laser dentistry, and more to protect your gums!

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Adolescents require routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the eruption of the third molars. If you need to schedule an appointment online with a pediatric dentist in Port Lions, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Port Lions 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 preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, 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 Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield family dentists in Port Lions who can offer care for kids, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care children not only can enjoy strong and healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance of good oral hygiene. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you!

When the season changes, people go out more to enjoy the beautiful weather, and of course, we want an attractive smile when we socialize, which is why many people seek to brighten their teeth. 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 bright, healthy teeth. We want to help connect you to Port Lions dentists who take on patients who have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


The first step toward a new smile is a cosmetic consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Port Lions, AK. The doctor will carefully assess your cosmetic concerns. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent and cause of your concerns to find a personalized treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can repair teeth and mask imperfections in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you don’t have a cosmetic dentist in the Port Lions, AK area, we can help! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. We want to help you obtain a smile that makes you feel great!

According to the research by the CDC, over half of adults older than 30 suffer from periodontal disease. Without treatment, this disease could lead to painful symptoms, including bleeding gums. The advanced stage, known as periodontitis, could also cause adult tooth loss. This is why care from a Port Lions dental specialist is necessary when you begin to notice changes to your gums. We can help by connecting you to one that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. After all, your smile is important!


How does the disease start? The disease could occur due to improper brushing and flossing. Some could develop it due to severe plaque and tartar buildup, or due to inflammatory illness, certain medications, tobacco use, or even gum disease in other family members. As discussed above, tell-tell signs include sore, red, and bleeding gums. By seeing a dentist in Port Lions, AK you can receive gum treatments like gum grafting to bring relief and improve your oral health. These options could be covered by insurance plans.


If you notice these signs, or if you simply haven’t been to a dentist since the pandemic started, you should book an online appointment. At Doctors Network, we can connect you to dentists in Port Lions who accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Strong periodontal health is always an option, and we can help facilitate this process!

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist twice a year for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Port Lions who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel. 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 helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Port Lions.

Many folks would be ecstatic 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 teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Port Lions, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Port Lions dentist, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book an appointment with a Port Lions dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, 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.
