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 and gaps can be fixed with Invisalign®. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of bright, healthy teeth. We want to help you find great Shungnak cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve optimal smile beauty.


The first step toward a new smile is a consultation with your dentist in Shungnak, AK. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using intraoral camera technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause and extent of your cosmetic concerns in order to come up with a tailored treatment for your smile. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can address dental damage 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 malocclusion, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you do not currently have a dentist in the Shungnak, 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 Blue Cross Blue Shield. We want to help you obtain a smile that is also healthy and strong!

Have you ever noticed a popping sensation in your jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to a common but serious oral health issue. Around 25 million people in the United States suffer from TMJ disorder or bruxism. Without treatment, these could not just cause jaw pain, but actually wear down outer tooth structure! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can find the right dental office in Shungnak, AK who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


While very different from one another, these two disorders are often related. TMJ disorder develops when the jaw joints undergo excessive strain. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the head and neck. Bruxism means you grind or clench your teeth nightly. The pressure of clenching could cause headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also fracture or break your teeth. This damage could lead to cavities, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that cause bite imbalance, and untreated TMJ disorder could mean eventual teeth grinding, and vice-versa. When you have persistent pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dental professional in Shungnak who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following crown placement, which improves bite balance. For others, treating malocclusion with orthodontic treatment could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option offered by most dentists is a custom splint, which fits like a nightguard. If you need to find treatment from a Shungnak dentist. then contact our team!

It is paramount for children to visit the dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Shungnak who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with protective sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 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 fortify your children’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Shungnak.

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

When you visit your Shungnak dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for one or two hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book a consultation online with a Shungnak dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been over six months since you last saw a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-annual checkups, your dentist can closely examine your smile to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent infections from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures at a later time. If you are looking for a dentist in Shungnak, AK that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great office.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove tartar that is hard to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your smile feeling rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is over, your Shungnak dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential issues. Should they notice something awry, they will explain your treatment options. The Shungnak dental office we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you visit the dentist regularly they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that works with Blue Cross Blue Shield, 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.
