Perhaps, the most common reason to search for a dentist is a toothache. While temporary aches could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could be a sign of a deeper problem. For instance, a lingering toothache could be caused by the presence of a cavity, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened tooth structure due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have an aching tooth that does not subside, you most likely need a dental restoration. Doctors Network can help locate dental care in the Santa Margarita, CA community who takes Lincoln Financial Group!


When the dental professional examines you, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. From there, a dental restoration is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from a metal-free material could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to address more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to utilize more lifelike options, so they ensure an attractive smile. If you have a toothache, use our search module to find Santa Margarita dentists who take walk-ins and request an appointment.

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from routine dental treatment. Children require regular checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a pediatric dentist for signs of threats to their oral health. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, wisdom tooth eruption. If you need to book an appointment with a pediatric dental professional in Santa Margarita, CA with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin when all baby teeth come in, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Santa Margarita pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as toothaches, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, children can often receive a topical fluoride gel to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, can protect teeth for years to come. In fact, these protective sealants can protect the teeth as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for Lincoln Financial Group dentists in Santa Margarita who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find the right dental care provider. With routine care children not only enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also understand the importance of caring for their smiles. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you and your family!

We’ve reached the season when children and adults alike will be playing sports. While we hope everyone enjoys their activities, we know that dental injuries are possible. Sometimes, especially when it comes to contact sports, teeth could be damaged, and when trauma occurs, care is needed. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of infected or abscessed teeth. Doctors Network can help you find a dental professional for dental emergencies in Santa Margarita, CA who can examine the situation.


The outer layer of the tooth provides protection against tooth decay. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the risk of dental infection. But when a tooth is fractured, this could alter the appearance of your smile. You need treatment before your tooth is compromised. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Santa Margarita dentist who accepts Lincoln Financial Group for less obvious emergency situations. Unexplained discomfort and objects caught between the teeth could compromise your smile. Don’t forget that loose teeth could lead to serious problems as well. You also need care if a tooth filling or crown falls out!


After you contact Doctors Network and begin the search for your Santa Margarita, CA dentist, you should take action by taking over-the-counter medications to ease discomfort. Cloth or gauze can stem bleeding. Applying an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you to the dentist. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When the season changes, people go out more to enjoy the beautiful weather, and of course, we want our smiles to shine when we socialize, which is why many people seek to undergo cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed purely to correct common esthetic issues. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding can be treated with orthodontics. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help connect you to Santa Margarita cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Lincoln Financial Group and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


The first step toward a new smile is a comprehensive exam with your dentist in Santa Margarita, CA. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent of your esthetic concerns to find the best treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can address dental damage in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and manage gum disease. Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, braces might be the treatment of choice.


If you do not currently have a dentist in the Santa Margarita, CA area, we can connect you with one! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Lincoln Financial Group. We want to help you obtain a smile that looks amazing!

When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is required. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth might require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a root canalled tooth becomes infected again, and treatment is once again necessary. You may need to book an emergency dental visit with one of our great Santa Margarita endodontists for additional endodontic treatment.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the inside and root canals. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material, AKA gutta percha, is then applied to the interior. Often, the tooth is then capped with a porcelain crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also blend with the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be compromised. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and discomfort when biting down. If you experience this type of discomfort, don’t risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an urgent care center in Santa Margarita, CA that can offer additional treatment and accepts Lincoln Financial Group.


If you don’t have dental coverage don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a monthly membership fee, you can obtain a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause an older 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 help you schedule an appointment with a great Santa Margarita oral surgeon who is in-network with Lincoln Financial Group and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Bone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried 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 bone.


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 or oral surgeon in Santa Margarita, CA who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

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.
