Periodontal disease is a common oral health issue. In fact, studies from the CDC reveal that half of adults over the age of thirty require treatment for periodontal concerns. Without treatment, gum disease could reach an advanced stage. Known as periodontitis, this is actually the most common cause of missing teeth. All that to say, when you develop discomfort in the gums, you need to see a professional as soon as you can. Sore, red gums that bleed easily, along with receding tissues, are common indicators that you need to see a Lake Minchumina restorative dentist.


Doctor Network’s search tool can streamline searching for the best dentists in Lake Minchumina AK that accept new patients and can offer a treatment plan after a dental examination. If there is any sign of gingivitis or gum disease, then a treatment plan can be created. For less severe cases, a scaling and root planing followed by traditional cleanings every three to four months could prevent symptoms. For the later stages of the disease, there are options like laser dentistry, pocket reduction, gum grafts, and more to restore your gums!

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Kids require regular dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to find a pediatric dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK with experience helping little smiles, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Checkups and cleanings should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Lake Minchumina pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, kids can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth cavities. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for family dentists in Lake Minchumina who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care kids not only can enjoy healthy smiles, but they also understand the value of good oral hygiene. Checkups and cleanings can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the best dentist for you and your family!

When spring arrives, people start going out and enjoying the 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 even misalignment can be corrected. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help connect you to Lake Minchumina dentists who take on patients who have no insurance and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


You can start cosmetic treatments with a cosmetic consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK. The doctor will carefully assess your cosmetic concerns. Using intraoral camera technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause 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 manage gum disease. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not currently have a cosmetic dentist in the Lake Minchumina, AK area, we can help! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with no insurance. We want to help you obtain a smile that looks amazing!

According to studies by the CDC, over half of the population older than 30 suffer from poor periodontal health. Without treatment, this disease could lead to painful symptoms, including bleeding gums. The advanced stage, known as periodontitis, could also cause missing teeth. This is why care from a Lake Minchumina dental professional is necessary when you begin to experience sore, red, and bleeding gums. We can help by connecting you to one that accepts new patients. After all, your smile needs regular attention!


How does the disease start? The changes to your gum tissue could occur due to improper brushing and flossing. Some could develop it due to infrequent dental cleanings, or due to certain medications, inflammatory illness, tobacco use, or even gum disease in other family members. As we touched on above, warning signs include sore and bleeding gums. By seeing a dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK you can receive gum treatments like gum grafting to bring relief and improve your oral health. These treatments could be covered by insurance plans.


If you notice these signs, or if you simply haven’t been to a dentist in the last six months, you should book an online appointment. At Doctors Network, we can connect you to dentists in Lake Minchumina who accept new patients. A healthy and whole smile is always an option, and we can help facilitate this process!

It is paramount for kids to visit the dentist every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a dentist in Lake Minchumina who accepts private patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children 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 back teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s enamel. 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. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Lake Minchumina.

Many individuals would be elated 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 purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Lake Minchumina, AK that takes self-pay patients, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Lake Minchumina dental practice, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office 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 use along with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to request an appointment with a Lake Minchumina dentist that takes self-pay patients, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
