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 kids, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems articulating clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even smile’s stability. You need a new private dentist in Loyalton, CA who can correct your tooth loss. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Then, your new dentist can inspect your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and rebuild your smile. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Loyalton‘s neighborhoods and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving bridges or dentures. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need treatment. 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 damage or cavity is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book an online appointment with a private dentist in Loyalton, CA who can offer 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. Removing a tooth could improve bite balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent complications from wisdom teeth. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Loyalton dentist could use the extraction to improve the function and health 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 general dentist in the Loyalton, CA area. But if you don’t have coverage, 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 low monthly cost. For some, this could cut the cost of care by up to 90 percent!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom tooth extracted and are eager to divulge their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a dental professional. If you need your wisdom teeth extracted, it is best to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth extraction and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Loyalton, CA that accepts patients without dental insurance.


Wisdom teeth are in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They typically appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their appearance can cause issues with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual directions, only partially come in, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are probably going to be affected by harmful bacteria. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can affect your teeth. If you think you might have complications with wisdom teeth coming in, it is important to see a Loyalton dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.


If you need wisdom teeth extraction, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the extraction to make sure everything goes without complications. They will determine how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also assess the appropriate type of anesthesia 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 anesthesia, so you will not experience pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and look after you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will get post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Loyalton dentists that accept patients without dental insurance and can adeptly pull your wisdom teeth.

It is important for children to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Loyalton who accepts patients with no dental insurance, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one 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 molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps fortify 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 kid’s teeth become more susceptible to decay. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Loyalton.

Many people would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Loyalton, CA that takes patients without dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Loyalton dental care provider, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office 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 choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book an appointment with a Loyalton dentist that accepts patients without dental insurance, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been at least half a year since you last saw a dentist, you should schedule a checkup as soon as possible. When you go in for regular visits, your dentist can closely examine your mouth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent tooth decays from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more expensive procedures at a later time. If you need to schedule a checkup with a dentist in Loyalton, CA that accepts patients who do not have insurance we can help you find a great practice.

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

Once your cleaning is done, your Loyalton dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential issues. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Loyalton dental practice we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental complications. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can keep track of the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit with a dentist that works with patients who do not have insurance, 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.
