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 undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to fight teeth stains. Teeth stains can be removed, and even misalignment can be corrected. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of bright, healthy teeth. We want to help you find great Hillsboro cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Guardian and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve optimal smile beauty.


The first step toward a new smile is a comprehensive exam with your dentist in Hillsboro, AL. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent of your esthetic 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 repair teeth and mask imperfections in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and protect your periodontal health. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with malocclusion, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you do not have a dentist in the Hillsboro, AL 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!

It is essential for your little ones to visit the dentist on a biannual basis for checkups and cleanings. By teaching kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a dentist in Hillsboro who accepts Guardian, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a protective layer between their back teeth and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps bolster your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to damage. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using toothpaste that has fluoride can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Hillsboro.

Many people would be ecstatic to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth bleaching can actually produce a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Hillsboro, AL that accepts Guardian, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Hillsboro dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home treatment. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly an hour. When you visit the office for whitening, your dentist will apply a special bleaching gel that, when activated by a special light, will get rid of 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 put these on for one or two hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to request a consultation online with a Hillsboro dentist that accepts Guardian, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been at least half a year since you last went to a dentist, you should schedule an appointment soon. When you go in for regular checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your smile 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 need to schedule an online appointment with a dentist in Hillsboro, AL that takes Guardian we can help you find a great office.

To begin your visit, a hygienist will clean your teeth thoroughly. This will remove plaque and tartar that is difficult to remove at home — even with great brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your smile feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

Once your cleaning is over, your Hillsboro 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 complications. Should they notice something awry, they can provide treatment options. The Hillsboro dentist we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental conditions. If you attend regularly scheduled checkups they can keep track of the health of your teeth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment online with a dentist that takes Guardian, we can help you find a great one.

With a population of nearly five million, Alabama is one of the most historically relevant of the United States. For instance, the first rocket to put humans on the moon was built by Alabamians. The state is also one of the most health-conscious, and is known for a generally reasonable cost of living and its affordable health care programs. Doctors Network helps keep that reputation strong by providing Alabamians with highly affordable direct dental plans. By signing up with a direct plan at your primary dentist’s office, you can enjoy significant savings on all aspects of your dental health care, even if you already have existing dental insurance coverage.

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.
