Doctors Network

New York is known by many names, such as the Big Apple and the Empire State. It’s also known for being home to the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, a history of cultural and industrial innovation, and one of the country’s most diverse populations, among many other things. With Doctors Network, New York is also a leader in making good dental health a significantly more affordable necessity for families in all five boroughs. Doctors Network is comprised of dentists across New York and the country who believe affordable, high-quality dental health care is a right, not a privilege. Therefore, they’ve made it easier to afford by providing direct dental plans to help patients save significantly on the overall costs of their dental health care.

Doctors Network

In 1776, the Battle of Long Island was fought in what is now Brooklyn, making it one of the more historically relevant of New York City’s five boroughs. Today, it is also the nexus of Doctors Network—a nationwide program designed to help dentists and patients deal directly with each other, resulting in significant savings on high-quality dental care. Doctors Network was founded by doctors and dentists in Brooklyn and throughout New York who believe everyone should be able to afford excellent dental care. Therefore, the network provides direct dental plans that do not involve third-party insurance companies, but are rather offered to patients directly by their dentists.

Doctors Network

The direct dental plans that Brooklyn dentists offer are not meant to replace dental insurance. They do not operate the same, with premiums and deductibles, and they do not interfere with existing coverage plans for patients who already have insurance. By contrast, a direct dental plan is a membership that patients subscribe to for a low monthly fee, the price of which their dentists determine. The membership gives patients access to a substantially discounted fee schedule on every dental treatment they receive. For instance, regular checkup and cleaning appointments are only $25 per visit, including X-rays at no additional cost. Cosmetic and restorative services, such as teeth-whitening, Invisalign®, porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, dental implants, and more, are all discounted, sometimes by up to 90%, to make restoring your smile more affordable.

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b

In many cases, gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing (known as deep cleaning) and a strict routine of good hygiene and preventative dental care. However, if the condition progresses into periodontitis, then it might no longer be reversible, and will have to be controlled through regular periodontal maintenance.

What is scaling/root planing (Deep Cleaning)?

f
fluoride-achiever-2

Gingivitis marks the beginning of periodontal disease, and describes inflammation in the gums caused by excessive oral bacteria buildup (in the form of plaque and tartar). Because gingivitis occurs underneath the gums, routine dental cleaning won’t suffice to treat it. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Then, your periodontist will smooth the roots of your teeth underneath the gums to discourage further oral bacteria buildup. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the roots, the buildup and resulting inflammation cause your gum tissues to recede slightly from your teeth. This creates deepening periodontal pockets where oral bacteria can continue to gather and multiply, worsening the infection and inflammation. Periodontal cleaning helps stop the infection by removing the films of plaque and tartar from your roots (scaling), and then smoothing their surfaces (planing) to inhibit bacterial buildup as your gums heal. In cases where gum disease has already developed, scaling and root planing should be followed by a strict schedule of checkups, cleanings, and periodontal maintenance. Your periodontist can prescribe appropriate treatment options, such as gingival grafting or pocket reduction surgery, to fortify your compromised tissues so you can recover from gum disease.

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.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
