When spring arrives, people go out more to enjoy the beautiful weather, and of course, we want an attractive smile when we socialize, which is why many people seek to undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to fight teeth stains. 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 bright, healthy teeth. We want to help connect you to Herlong dentists who take on patients who have Guardian 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 Herlong, 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 in order to come up with a personalized treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can reshape your teeth in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with malocclusion, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not have a cosmetic dentist in the Herlong, 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 Guardian. We want to help you obtain a smile that looks amazing!

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 two common jaw joint issues. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from TMJ disorder or bruxism. Without treatment, these could not just cause jaw pain, but actually damage the teeth too! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dental office in Herlong, CA who accepts Guardian.


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 with jaw function. Common symptoms include pain in the face, head and neck, and jaw. Bruxism means you suffer from nightly teeth grinding. The stress caused by grinding could cause headaches and jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also fracture or break your teeth. This damage could lead to decay, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that upset bite balance, and untreated TMJ disorder could cause bruxism, 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 Herlong who accepts Guardian.


There are, however, multiple treatment options available; for some, relief is possible following crown placement, which improves bite balance. For others, treating misalignment with braces could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option offered by most dentists is a custom splint, which fits like a night-guard. If you need to find treatment from a Herlong dentist. then contact our team!

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist on a biannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching your children preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dentist in Herlong who takes Guardian, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their adult molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to eighty percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your children’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Herlong.

Many individuals would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Herlong, CA that takes Guardian, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Herlong dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. 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 solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to book a visit with a Herlong dentist that accepts Guardian, we can help you find a great one.

If it has been over six months since you last went to a dentist, you should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for bi-yearly checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your mouth to make sure nothing is wrong. This helps prevent cavities from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures down the road. If you are looking for a dentist in Herlong, CA that accepts Guardian we can help you find a great practice.

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

Once your cleaning is done, your Herlong dentist will begin his or her examination. During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your teeth to identify any potential issues. Should they notice something awry, they can provide treatment options. The Herlong dental practice we set you up with will offer comprehensive services to address a variety of dental needs. If you visit the dentist regularly they can keep track of the health of your smile.

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.
