I truly love the staff at Schambeau Dental Care in Bessemer, AL. Everyone is so nice, and the dentist is super friendly. I went to this office a few years ago, but because I was pregnant at the time, they couldn’t treat me right away. So they told me to come back after I had the baby, but it completely slipped my mind. Well, I went today, and the hygienist did my cleaning and explained everything thoroughly. Dr. Schambeau was as nice as always and took me through my treatment plan. Lastly, the receptionist showed me the bill and offered multiple payment options. Since I’m about to buy a home, I need to be careful with spending, but they were very accommodating to my needs. I don’t like to go to the dentist, but when I do need to go, Schambeau Dental Care is the only place I go! I love it there!

dental plan $39.99 per month

As kids, we lose our deciduous teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. Periodontitis could be responsible as well. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties consuming solid foods. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need a dedicated private dentist in Locust Fork, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three lost teeth in a row. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Locust Fork‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please celebrate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.

There is no substitute for an attractive smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with the loss of natural teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or fixed partial dentures, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near Locust Fork, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Locust Fork dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dentist who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts walk-in patients. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying oral health concerns may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural dentition!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even talking clearly could be a problem. However, the major problem is the break down of density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause patients to look older. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a local Locust Fork dentist who is in-network with Obama Care and provides jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles could be employed as well. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, biocompatible dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Locust Fork, AL who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can articulate. But the most severe complication is the loss of integrity in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address lost teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Locust Fork, AL who can shore up your jaw.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Locust Fork dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth can then stay firm for decades, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Locust Fork, AL dentist who can offer a sinus lift and takes uninsured patients. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

It is paramount for your little ones to visit a pediatric dentist every six months for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching kids great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Locust Fork who takes new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one 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 shield between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel layer. 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 damage. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Locust Fork.

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.

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.
