Dr. Michael Atencio knew that he wanted to become a dentist from a very young age. A terrible bike accident in the summer of 1974 left him with a bleeding lip, broken teeth, and lots of pain, and the only solution to his situation was a visit to the dentist's office. Although he was initially scared to go, he was happy he went. His dentist, Dr. Fred Coats, sewed up his lip, fixed his teeth, and relieved him of his pain. Before long, he had his smile back. Dr. Coats’ compassion and warmth towards him during his treatment inspired Michael and from that point on, there was only one thing he wanted to do with his life - become a dentist!

Dr. Atencio graduated in 1983 from Longmont High School and went straight into the Pre-Dental Program at Colorado State University. He then earned his DDS from the University of Nebraska Dental School in 1991. After graduation, Dr. Atencio and his wife made the move to Reno where they still live and work today. With his wife’s father, Dr. Gary Toogood, as his mentor, Dr. Atencio quickly learned all there is to know about treating patients and providing high-quality dentistry. He feels lucky every day to have the opportunity to help those in the wonderful community of Reno improve their oral health and gain confidence in their smiles.

As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease is the number one cause. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need an excellent Cigna dentist in Loyalton, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Then, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Loyalton‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is damaged, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop a decay and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only tooth loss, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require immediate extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you connect with a Cigna dentist or oral surgeon in Loyalton, CA who can offer a safe tooth extraction as needed.


As we touched on above, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Taking out a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent the negative impact of wisdom tooth eruption. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and smile beauty. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for dentures. Your Loyalton general dentist could use the procedure to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Loyalton, CA area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about costs. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth extracted and are eager to describe their experience to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a dental professional. If you need these teeth pulled, it is important to have a plethora of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Loyalton, CA that accepts Cigna.


The third molars are located in the back of the mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth, their arrival can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this occurs, they are likely to succumb to bacteria and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very painful and can damage your existing teeth. If you think you might have impediments with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Loyalton oral surgery specialist as soon as possible.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth extraction, your doctor will determine how they will go about the extraction to make certain everything goes according to the plan. They will determine which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also decide the appropriate type of sedation and the position of your existing teeth. Once they ascertain these facts, they can plan your treatment more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia option, so you will not feel discomfort. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are pulled, you will get information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Loyalton dentists that accept Cigna and can effectively remove your wisdom teeth.

It is important for children to visit the dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Loyalton who takes Cigna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto 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 decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster 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 child’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Loyalton.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk 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 bleaching can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Loyalton, CA that accepts Cigna, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Loyalton dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 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 fill up with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Loyalton dentist that takes Cigna, we can help you find a fantastic 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.
