If you have a chipped tooth or a tooth that is misshapen or stained, then you could benefit from a cosmetic treatment. With contouring and tooth-color fillings in Piedmont, AL, these cosmetic imperfections can be can be addressed with lifelike results. At Doctors Network, we are here to help connect you with a dental professional in Piedmont, AL who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can tackle your oral health concerns. You may be surprised to discover just how much tooth-colored bondings can do in only one sitting.


Tooth-colored restoration repairs cosmetic concerns with composite resin materials. The composite resin, a mixture of glass and acrylic particles, is shaded and placed onto the prepared area. Piedmont general dentists also use the same material to treat tooth decay. With dental contouring, the dentist actually sands the outer tooth structure to correct issues with a tooth’s balance and shape.


This week we are celebrating our Brooklyn general dentists. Between both services, these dentists can reshape malformed teeth, repair dental damage, mask teeth stains, and close gaps between the teeth.

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 teeth crowding or gaps between the teeth can be corrected with braces. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help you find great Piedmont dentists who take on patients who have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve optimal smile beauty.


You can start cosmetic treatments with a comprehensive exam with your cosmetic dentist in Piedmont, AL. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using digital technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause of your esthetic concerns in order to come up with a personalized treatment plan. 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 correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with malocclusion, braces might be the treatment of choice.

Do you have a severely decayed tooth that requires attention? If so, the placement of a dental crown could help. The restoration is custom-made for your smile and can provide beauty, function, and health to your smile. Our team can help connect you to a Piedmont, AL dentist who can restore your teeth, and also who will accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Do not risk an abscessed tooth!


Your first signs of trouble could be an aching tooth. This could mean the presence of tooth decay. As discomfort worsens, you could risk the spread of infection or even missing teeth. An injury that chips a tooth could also lead to complications like tooth decay or infection with time. In these situations, restorative treatment could save the tooth. If the tooth defect is too severe for a tooth filling, then you may need a full dental restoration.


The crown is a full restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire visible portion of your tooth. They could be made from durable, biocompatible materials like metal. However, many dentists in the Piedmont, AL area offer more aesthetic options crafted from resin. The total placement process takes two individual appointments. The crown, whether we use a metal or more lifelike options, will be personalized for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic provides a balanced occlusion, protecting your smile from the onset of bruxism. If you have teeth that need treatment then talk to Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental offices that meet your needs and accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is imperative for kids to visit the dentist bi-yearly for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dental office in Piedmont who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


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


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the strongest 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 fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Piedmont.

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 tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Piedmont, AL that takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Piedmont dental practice, 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 an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for approximately two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Piedmont dentist that accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential complications. If they find anything amiss, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Piedmont 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 teeth.

Over 16% of Alabama residents are over the age of 65, while almost 23% are under the age of 18. For both age groups, personalized dental care is especially important. Older patients often require restoration or prosthodontic care to replace lost teeth; younger patients may need additional ongoing preventive measures, such as orthodontics, to avoid more serious issues later in life. On top of routine general dental care, treatment for seniors and children can cause the costs of your family’s dental care to skyrocket. Fortunately, Doctors Network offers families throughout Alabama a highly affordable alternative to managing dental care costs with a direct dental plan.

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.
