Dr. Greg Hawkins knew that dentistry was his calling after his own dentist helped him deal with a bad oral health situation as a child. He realized that he wanted to do the same for others and started on the track to becoming a dentist. Dr. Hawkins attended Holly Pond High School, then went on to Auburn University where he completed his undergraduate studies by 1983. He graduated from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry in 1988. Since then, he has been a practicing dentist, working closely with his patients to treat their conditions and provide them with long-lasting solutions.

When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Without care, the tooth could essentially die. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into the jaw. If posible, a better treatment for an infected tooth is a root canal. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again, and retreatment could be needed. You may need to book an appointment with one of our Town Creek endodontists for a root canal redo.


A root canal involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta-percha is then administered. In many cases, the tooth is then capped with a tooth crown. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also match the rest of the smile. But if the procedure does not go as expected, the prognosis of the condition could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and complications with eating. If you experience this type of discomfort, do not risk tooth loss. Doctors Network can connect you with an emergency dental services provider in Town Creek, AL that can offer retreatment and accepts private patients.


If you don’t have dental insurance don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a direct dental plan to make dental care budget-friendly. With a simple monthly rate, you can undergo necessary root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

When a tooth is grossly decayed, it could become infected. The presence of infection means serious discomfort, and without treatment, it could result in missing teeth. This is why your tooth may need restorative treatment. Fortunately, there are options available to treat an infection. Our network can help connect you to a Town Creek dentist for endodontic treatment. We can also help find an endodontist that accepts private patients.


A dental infection means that harmful bacteria have made contact with sensitive tooth structure. The pulp is the nerve center of the tooth, and it keeps the tooth healthy. Lack of treatment for an infection could allow tooth loss. A common warning sign of trouble could include sensitivity. Don’t ignore common warning signs. Talk to our team about finding a Town Creek dentist skilled in performing root canals who accepts private patients and other forms of coverage.


A root canal procedure is a comfortable treatment that can be completed in one sitting. Essentially, after the root canal specialist examines the tooth, the carious tooth structures are removed from within. The interior of the tooth is cleaned, and a restorative filling is added. The last step involves capping the tooth with a porcelain or metal crown. The cap is designed to protect the tooth and appear esthetically pleasing. This treatment prevents tooth loss.


Daily brushing and flossing can help lower your risk of future cavities and dental infections. Routine six-month visits help as well. If you’re looking for treatment in Town Creek for an infected tooth, contact Doctors Network or request an online appointment. You have options, and we know how to find practices that accept private patients.

It is essential for children to visit the dentist every six months for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Town Creek who accepts new patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little children with dental 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 back molars and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay 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 proven tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps fortify your children’s enamel. 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. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Town Creek.

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

When you visit your Town Creek dental practice, they can provide you with either an at-home or in-office treatment. 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 get an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe peroxide or bleaching solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for approximately 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to book a visit online with a Town Creek dentist that accepts patients without dental insurance, we can help you find the best ones.

When you go in for bi-annual dental checkups, your dentist can closely examine your teeth to make sure nothing is awry. This helps prevent tooth decays from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures down the road. If you need to schedule an appointment with a dentist in Town Creek, AL that takes patients without dental insurance we can help you find a great practice.

During this portion of your consultation, the dentist will thoroughly look at your mouth to identify any potential issues. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Town Creek dental office we set you up with will offer a myriad of services to address a variety of dental conditions.

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.
