One of the most common reasons to search for a dentist is to address discomfort caused by cavities. While temporary aches 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 example, a lingering toothache could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental abscess, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have an aching tooth, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Santa Margarita, CA area near you who takes Blue Cross Blue Shield!

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Kids require routine dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to book an appointment with a pediatric dental professional in Santa Margarita, CA with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Santa Margarita pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then intervention might be needed. In addition, children can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth caries. Sealants, which coat the grooves on top of the back molars, can strengthen vulnerable adult teeth. In fact, sealants can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Blue Cross Blue Shield family dentists in Santa Margarita who can provide children’s dentistry, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care children not only can enjoy healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance of caring for their smiles.

We have reached the time of the year when kids and adults alike will be enjoying sports and outdoor activities. While we hope everyone has a great time, we know that dental injuries are possible. In some situations, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could become compromised, and when trauma occurs, care is needed. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of infected or abscessed teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dentist in Santa Margarita, CA who can examine the situation.


The outer layer of the tooth is coated in enamel. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from oral health complications. But when a tooth is broken, chipped, or cracked, it could alter the appearance of your smile. You need treatment even if the damage appears minor. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Santa Margarita emergency dentist who accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield for less obvious emergency situations. Persistent discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could compromise your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth could lead to weakened smiles as well. You also need care if a crown or filling comes loose!


Once you contact Doctors Network and begin the search for your Santa Margarita, CA dentist, you should take action by taking a store bought pain medication. Cloth or gauze can be helpful also. Applying an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you to the dentist. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When winter ends, people go out more to enjoy the beautiful 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 can be treated with orthodontics. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of bright, healthy teeth. We want to help connect you to Santa Margarita dentists who take on patients who have Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


The first step toward a new smile is a comprehensive exam with your cosmetic dentist in Santa Margarita, CA. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent of your cosmetic concerns to come up with the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can address dental damage in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and manage gum disease. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you do not have a cosmetic dentist in the Santa Margarita, CA area, we can find a dental care provider for you! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Blue Cross Blue Shield. We want to help you obtain a smile that looks amazing!

When a tooth develops an infection, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may need to be extracted. Otherwise, the infection moves into surrounding teeth. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to see one of our great Santa Margarita endodontists for a root canal redo.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are cleaned with care, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then added to the tooth. Often, the tooth is then restored with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure is not successful, the prognosis of the condition could be unpredictable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dentist in Santa Margarita, CA that can offer another root canal and accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield.


If you don’t have an insurance plan don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even speaking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you find a local Santa Margarita oral surgeon who is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could also be used. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, biocompatible dental implants could be placed. The body will allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Santa Margarita, CA who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

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.
