Doctors Network

Virginia isn’t just one of the 13 original colonies; it is home to the first English settlement in the New World, Jamestown. Not long after, Virginia also saw the end of the American Revolution with the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. With its close proximity to the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., more Virginians today work for the government than any other industry, equaling about a quarter of the state’s population. Nevertheless, out of the state’s 8.4 million residents, over 10% do not have insurance, which can make keeping up with routine dental care difficult and expensive. That’s why Doctors Network has teamed up with dentists across the Old Dominion State to provide patients with more affordable direct dental plans. Whether you have insurance or not, a direct dental plan guarantees that you can receive the high-quality of care you deserve while paying significantly reduced prices.

Located in the heart of coastal Virginia State, the city’s historical significance is embedded in the 1973-built Dismal Swamp Canal, which now serves as a forested wetland for wildlife. The city is the ultimate destination for lovers of outdoor adventures, notably the Chesapeake Arboretum and Northwest River Park which offer plenty of options for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and boating. Just as Chesapeake is bound with Brazil in a sister city agreement, the residents of Chesapeake collaborate with the local dentists to maintain their oral health by incorporating dental care practices like brushing and flossing along with regular dental visits. This enables them to keep their smiles healthy and bright as they explore Chesapeake's charm.

    Dr. Modeste will never make a rude comment about the shape your teeth are in or how you should take better care of them. He really cares about her patients and is very respectful. He and his staff have given me great tips on how to take care of my teeth. He really makes his patients feel comfortable, so comfortable that my daughter has fallen asleep during fillings multiple times, and even during a tooth extraction. I’m so happy we found him. We didn’t have insurance when we first came here, but they offered doctors network which is an affordable dental plan in Hampton, VA.

    I found Quinn Family Dentistry almost a year ago, and I feel very lucky to have found such a nice group of people. I never have to wait long here. They know I am deathly afraid of the dentist, and so they’re very gentle and caring with me. I’m always comfortable when I’m there. I didn’t get my wisdom teeth out until recently, and even though I probably should’ve had it done sooner I’m glad I got it done here. The entire process was simple. My husband now goes here too. If you live in the area and need a new dentist in Hampton, VA you should definitely try this place out.

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b
brush-whisperer-151

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.
