As adolescents, we lose our deciduous teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a permanent in-network dentist in Akutan, AK who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can inspect your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Akutan area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please celebrate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.

When you have a toothache, or a tooth that is damaged, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only missing teeth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a restoration. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book an online appointment with a great dentist in Akutan, AK who can provide a gentle tooth removal as needed.


As we touched on above, cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontitis. Taking out a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for correcting misalignment! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. 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 a full prosthetic. Your Akutan general dentist could use the extraction to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand why a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Akutan, AK area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could discount care by up to 90 percent!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth extracted and are eager to divulge their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still essential to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth extracted, it is best to have lots of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Akutan, AK that accepts self-pay patients.


Wisdom teeth are in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they are the last adult teeth, their appearance can cause complications with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd angles, only partially come in, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very painful and can harm your teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Akutan oral surgeon hastily.


If you need wisdom tooth extraction, your dentist will determine how they will go about the removal to make sure everything goes smoothly. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also assess the appropriate type of sedation and the condition of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain this information, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation, so you will not feel pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will receive information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Akutan dentists that accept self-pay patients and can adeptly remove your wisdom teeth.

It is important for your little ones to visit the dentist on a biannual basis for dental visits 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 life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Akutan who accepts uninsured patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their adult molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’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 damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Akutan.

Many folks would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad 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 tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Akutan, AK that works with uninsured patients, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Akutan dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about 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 whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book a visit with a Akutan dentist that takes uninsured 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.
