A common reason to seek dental care is discomfort caused by cavities. While temporary aches could occur for many different reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For example, a lingering tooth pain could be caused by tooth decay, 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, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in the Mekoryuk, AK area who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines your smile, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, the right treatment is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A crown could also be used to treat major cavities. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile. If you have persistent discomfort, use our search page to find Mekoryuk dentists who take walk-ins and book an appointment online.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Kids require routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to find a family dentist in Mekoryuk, AK with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Mekoryuk pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, children can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth caries. Dental sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Mekoryuk 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 smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best practice for you and your family!

We’ve reached the time of the year when kids and adults alike will be enjoying sports and outdoor activities. While we hope everyone has a great time, we know that dental injuries are possible. In some situations, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when trauma occurs, care is needed. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of tooth decay. Doctors Network can help you find a 24-hour emergency care center in Mekoryuk, AK who can examine the situation.


The outer layer of the tooth protects the dentition. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the onset of tooth decay. 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 can always let us know if you need a Mekoryuk dentist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield for less obvious emergency situations. Persistent discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could compromise your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth could lead to weakened smiles as well. You also need care if a crown or tooth filling comes loose!


Once you contact Doctors Network and begin looking for your Mekoryuk, AK dentist, you can ease your discomfort by taking over-the-counter medications to ease discomfort. A piece of cloth or a tea bag can control any bleeding. A cold compress can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them in a sealed container. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When spring arrives, people start going out more and enjoying the beautiful weather, and of course, we want to look our best when we socialize, which is why many people seek to brighten their teeth. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed purely to correct common esthetic issues. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding can be treated with orthodontics. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Mekoryuk dentists who take on patients who have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


The first step toward a new smile is a consultation with your dentist in Mekoryuk, 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 in order to come up with a tailored treatment for your smile. For stains, professional teeth whitening could remove discolorations. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and protect your periodontal health. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not currently have a dentist in the Mekoryuk, AK area, we can find a dental care provider for you! 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!

When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. This procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an appointment with one of our great Mekoryuk emergency dentists for a root canal redo.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from inside of the tooth. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then added to the tooth. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a dental crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dentist in Mekoryuk, AK that can offer additional treatment and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


If you don’t have an insurance plan don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a discount dental plan to make care affordable. With a monthly membership fee, you can receive a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a local Mekoryuk oral surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could also be used. We could also recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Mekoryuk, AK who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

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.
