A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even talking 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 a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a good Homewood dentist who is in-network with Doctors Network Dental Plan and performs this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost structure in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Homewood, AL who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most serious complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an older appearance and weakens the jaw significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Homewood, AL who can strengthen your smile.


As discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Homewood dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. 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 a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Homewood, AL oral surgeon who can address tooth loss and takes new patients. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and good oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With our Direct Dental Plan, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

It is imperative for kids to visit a pediatric dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dental office in Homewood who accepts private patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s teeth. 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 dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Homewood.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any drug store, you see numerous products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Homewood, AL that works with patients without dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Homewood dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove 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 fill with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will put these on for one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book a visit with a Homewood dentist that takes patients without dental insurance, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been over six months since you last visited a dentist, you probably should schedule a checkup soon. When you go in for bi-annual dental checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure nothing is amiss. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more costly procedures down the road. If you are looking for a dentist in Homewood, AL that takes private patients we can help you find a great match.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove tartar that is difficult to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your mouth feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Homewood 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 issues. Should they notice something awry, they will explain your treatment options. The Homewood dentist we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental needs. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment online with a dentist that takes private patients, we can help you find a great one.

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.
