Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can speak. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Shaktoolik, AK who can make smiles ready for implants.


As discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of adding new tissue, your Shaktoolik dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Shaktoolik, AK dental professional who can provide these services and takes patients without dental insurance. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

It is imperative for children to visit a dental professional every six months for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children 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 Shaktoolik who accepts uninsured patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with 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 teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps bolster your child’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, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Shaktoolik.

Many people would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery 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 produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Shaktoolik, AK that takes self-pay patients, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Shaktoolik dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. 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 whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe peroxide solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Shaktoolik dentist that takes self-pay patients, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been at least half a year since you last saw a dentist, you should schedule an appointment as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-yearly dental checkups, your dentist can closely examine your teeth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent tooth decays from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures at a later time. If you need to schedule an appointment with a dentist in Shaktoolik, AK that takes patients with no insurance we can help you find a great practice.

To begin your visit, a hygienist will clean your teeth thoroughly. This will remove plaque that is hard to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your teeth feeling fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Shaktoolik dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they can provide treatment options. The Shaktoolik dental practice we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental needs. If you visit the dentist regularly they can monitor the health of your smile. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment online with a dentist that accepts patients with no insurance, 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. When more complex dental health needs become apparent, those costs can skyrocket, and dental insurance is not always enough to adequately cover them. 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.
