Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Metlakatla, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Metlakatla dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new support structure. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Metlakatla, AK dental professional who can address tooth loss and takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

It is essential for your little ones to visit a dental professional twice a year 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 life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Metlakatla who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, 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 shield between their back molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric 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 little one’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Metlakatla.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Metlakatla, AK that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Metlakatla dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or 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 get an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to request a visit with a Metlakatla dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been at least half a year since you last went to a dentist, you should schedule an appointment as soon as possible. When you go in for regular checkups, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is amiss. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you are looking for a dentist in Metlakatla, AK that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great practice.

When you go in for an exam, your dentist will begin with a professional cleaning. This will remove tartar and plaque that is difficult to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental cleaning will leave your mouth feeling rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is over, your Metlakatla dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential complications. Should they notice something awry, they can provide treatment options. The Metlakatla dental office we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental needs. If you visit the dentist regularly they can keep track of the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a great one.

More than a quarter of Alaska’s residents are under the age of 18, and as they grow, their dental health needs will constantly evolve. Maintaining a regular schedule of preventive dental visits can be costly enough, especially without dental insurance. When more complex dental health needs become apparent, those costs can skyrocket, and dental insurance is not always enough to adequately cover them. With a direct dental plan from Doctors Network and your primary dentist’s office, you can ensure that you and your family will always have access to the personalized, high-quality care that you deserve. For instance, checkups and cleanings are only $25 per visit, and you can enjoy discounts of up to 90% on treatments such as fillings, crowns, teeth-whitening, Invisalign® aligners, and more.

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.
