Anthony J.

I had the same dentist until I moved to Bessemer, Alabama in my early 20s. I’m now almost 40 and have been looking for a dentist similar to the one I had as a kid. After many failed attempts to find a dentist who meets my needs, we found Schambeau Dental Care. The staff is great! Everyone is so kind, and Dr. Schambeau is very considerate and explains things one step at a time. They don’t pressure you to do unnecessary services like other practices. They treated us like family and made our children feel comfortable during their cleanings. Thank you for the love and consideration that you show your patients!

A common reason to search for a dentist is to address pain in one or more teeth. While sudden discomfort could occur for many different reasons, including sinus problems, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a lingering toothache could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding. When you have an aching tooth, you probably need a filling placed. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Oakman, AL area near you who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines your smile, advanced technology is used to assess the severity of the cavity. then, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a dental filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A dental crown could also be used to address more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they blend with the smile. If you have an aching tooth, use our search module to connect with Oakman dentists who are open on Saturdays and book an appointment.

Have you ever noticed popping or cracking when you open your mouth? Do you have aching jaw and facial pain? If so, this could be related to widespread jaw joint disorders. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMJ disorder or bruxism. Without treatment, these could not only lead to painful symptoms, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dental professional in Oakman, AL who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


While very different from one another, one often increases the risk of the other. TMJ disorder develops when the jaw joints undergo excessive strain. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the head and neck. Bruxism means you suffer from nightly teeth grinding. The pressure could cause jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also damage teeth. This damage could lead to decay, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that cause bite imbalance, and untreated TMJ disorder could lead to bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have persistent pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Oakman who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following dental bonding, which improves bite balance. For others, treating misalignment with orthodontic treatment could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option most dentists offer is a custom splint, which fits like a mouthguard. If you need to find treatment from a Oakman dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have a severely decayed tooth that requires attention? If so, the placement of a dental crown could treat your concerns. The dental crown is crafted for your dentition and can provide function, health, and beauty to your smile. Our team can help find you a Oakman, AL dentist who can restore your smile, and also who will accept Blue Cross Blue Shield. Do not risk a lost tooth!


The first signs of trouble could be an aching tooth. This could mean the presence of decayed teeth. As toothache worsens, you could risk the spread of infection or even missing teeth. A trauma that chips a tooth could also lead to complications like tooth decay or infection with time. In these situations, restorative treatment is usually necessary. If the problem is too severe for a dental filling, then you may need to receive a dental crown.


The dental crown is a full restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire visible portion of your tooth. They could be made from durable materials like metal alloys. However, many cosmetic dentists in the Oakman, AL area offer more lifelike options fabricated from ceramic. The total placement process takes two individual dental appointments. The restoration, whether we use a metal or more aesthetic options, will be custom-made for your smile. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic provides a balanced occlusion, protecting your dentition from complications like TMJ disorder. If you have teeth that need treatment then use Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental offices that meet your needs and take Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is important for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children 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 dentist in Oakman who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with dental sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s teeth. 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 cavities. 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 Oakman.

Many individuals would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see numerous 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 provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Oakman, AL that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Oakman dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to choose 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 about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Oakman dentist that takes Blue Cross Blue Shield, we can help you find a fantastic one.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Oakman dentist will begin his examination. During this portion of your visit, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential problems. Should they notice something awry, they can suggest the proper treatment. The Oakman dental practice we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental needs.

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.
