Sharleen B.

After going to my usual dentist for 6 years, I got really sick of waiting for them to get to my appointment, hasty cleaning and procedures, and incomplete dental assessments, so I started looking for a new dentist. I’m so glad I went to Schambeau Dental Care in Bessemer, AL! The second I set foot in the office, all the staff members were extremely friendly and very helpful, answering any questions I had. After waiting only 2 minutes, they took me to the back. They thoroughly but quickly assessed my gums and teeth. Afterward, Dr. Schambeau told me that I needed a crown on one of my teeth. He taught me what the crown is used for and even explained what he was seeing in my x-rays. After I gave him the go-ahead, he started the procedure the same day, placing a temporary crown over my tooth. Dr. Schambeau was fantastic! I didn’t even have any pain during the procedure, and he and the hygienist were both very conscientious. They told me my permanent crown would be ready in 2 weeks, but it was actually done in under 1 week. I just had my permanent crown placed, and I can honestly say that Schambeau Dental Care did a fantastic job. I highly recommend them to all my family and friends!

sleep-apnea-treatment

When you have a sleep disorder, you may not assume a dentist near you could help. In fact, dentists can provide a noninvasive and comfortable solution to treat sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) means that as you sleep, the soft tissues in the throat and the back of your mouth collapse and cause you to stop breathing. People literally stop breathing briefly until the brain notices a drop in oxygen. Even if you believe you slept well, you could feel tired! But when is it necessary to use the search tool on Doctors Network to find Vestavia Hills, AL dentists who could offer treatment with oral appliance therapy?


Symptoms of OSA include chronic snoring. Daytime drowsiness, and trouble with interpersonal relationships could occur too. Without treatment, sleep apnea could impact your immune system and increase the risk of heart disease. When you experience similar symptoms, consider seeing a dental professional. Sometimes, oral appliance therapy can be helpful to keep airways free of obstruction, so you can finally rest without sleep apnea symptoms.

As children, many of us grind our teeth for short periods of time. The issue tends to pass on its own. But for some, bruxism could mean grinding and clenching continue into and throughout adolescence, and the pressure from grinding and clenching your teeth could lead to major complications. Cracks, chips, and worn-down structures could cause discomfort. You’re also more likely to develop tooth decay or even dental abscesses, which is why if you notice changes to your teeth, you should consider using Doctors Network’s search tool to find a dental practice in Vestavia Hills.


Your partner or spouse may let you know you grind your teeth in your sleep. Otherwise, symptoms could include toothaches and tooth sensitivity. Treatment options vary. Some dentists bring relief by addressing the causes of teeth grinding. They could correct misalignment with orthodontics, or even replace missing teeth with prosthetics. Many offer treatment with custom and comfortable oral appliances. So don’t ignore the indicators of bruxism, talk to us about finding the right dentist in your area who accepts patients without dental insurance.

Have you experienced a popping sensation in your jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to widespread jaw joint disorders. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMD and teeth grinding. Without treatment, these could not only lead to painful symptoms, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can find the right dental professional in Vestavia Hills, AL who accepts self-pay patients.


While very different from one another, one often increases the risk of the other. TMJ disorder develops when the joints connecting the jaw and skull are stressed. This could cause problems opening and closing the mouth fully. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, and neck. Bruxism means you clench or grind your teeth in your sleep. The pressure could cause headaches and 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 mean eventual teeth grinding, and vice-versa. When you have chronic pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Vestavia Hills who accepts self-pay patients.


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

It is paramount for children to visit the dentist bi-yearly for exams 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 ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Vestavia Hills who accepts new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, 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 barrier between their molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of dental caries by up to 80 percent. It is a simple service 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 natural mineral that helps strengthen your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most durable 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 toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Vestavia Hills.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Vestavia Hills, AL that takes patients without dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Vestavia Hills dental care provider, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment. 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 choose an at-home treatment, 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 one or two hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Vestavia Hills dentist that takes patients without dental insurance, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been a long time since you last saw a dentist, you should schedule a consultation soon. When you go in for consistent dental checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your smile to make sure nothing is awry. This helps prevent tooth decays from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures at a later time. If you are looking for a dentist in Vestavia Hills, AL that takes patients who do not have insurance 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 terrific brushing and flossing habits. The dental prophylaxis will leave your smile feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is completed, your Vestavia Hills dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your oral cavity to identify any potential problems. Should they notice something awry, they will explain your treatment options. The Vestavia Hills dental office we set you up with will offer a myriad 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.
