When a tooth becomes infected, treatment is necessary. Not seeking care means the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth might need extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. Often, a better treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to schedule an appointment with one of our great Cooper Landing emergency dentists for further treatments.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then applied to the interior. Usually, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if the procedure is not successful, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this, do not risk missing teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dental office in Cooper Landing, AK that can offer retreatment and accepts 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 dental care budget-friendly. With a simple monthly rate, you can obtain a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

When a tooth is severely damaged, it could become infected. The presence of an abscessed tooth means serious discomfort, and without treatment, it could lead to progressively worsening discomfort. This is why your tooth may need root canal therapy. Fortunately, there are options available to bring relief. Our network can help connect you to a Cooper Landing dentist for lifelike restorative care. We can also help find a dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


A dental infection means that harmful oral bacteria have made contact with the inner pulp. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it controls the flow of blood and nutrients. Lack of treatment for an abscess could allow symptoms to grow worse. A common warning sign of trouble could include sensitivity. Don’t ignore common warning signs. Talk to our team about finding a Cooper Landing dental professional who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield and other dental insurance plans.


A root canal procedure is a restorative dental treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the endodontist numbs the tooth, the infected tissues are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and gutta percha is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a porcelain or gold crown. The cap is designed to protect the tooth and appear esthetically pleasing. This procedure helps relieve the pain.


Improved diet and oral hygiene habits can help lower your risk of future caries and dental infections. Routine six-month visits help as well. If you’re looking for treatment in Cooper Landing for infected teeth, talk to Doctors Network or request an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is essential for children to visit a pediatric dentist on a semiannual basis for exams 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 pediatric dental office in Cooper Landing who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their back teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure 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 bolster your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to dental caries. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Cooper Landing.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that advertise 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 produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Cooper Landing, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Cooper Landing dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home option. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly 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 bleaching solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Cooper Landing dentist that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

If it has been over six months since you last saw a dentist, you should schedule a consultation soon. When you go in for regular checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your teeth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent dental caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule an online appointment with a dentist in Cooper Landing, AK that accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield we can help you find a great office.

To begin your visit, a hygienist will clean your teeth thoroughly. This will remove plaque and tartar that is difficult to remove at home — even with fantastic brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your teeth feeling rejuvenated.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Cooper Landing dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Cooper Landing practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental complications. 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 consultation with a dentist that takes 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.

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.
