Doctors Network

From 1836 to 1845, Texas was its own independent nation, and it is the only state to have joined the U.S. through treaty rather than territorial annexation. Today, it is home to nearly 28 million people, making it the second most populous state (next to California) as well as the second largest (next to Alaska). Known as the Lone Star State, Texas’ independence and spirit has persevered throughout its history, and today’s Texans continue to do things their way. When it comes to dental health care, that means offering families across the state highly affordable alternatives to dental insurance through direct plans. Provided by your dentist in partnership with Doctors Network, a direct dental plan guarantees significant savings on all treatments that your dentist and oral health specialists provide, and it works whether or not you already have insurance coverage.

Doctors Network

Texans like to tackle things head on, which happens to be the best way to take care of your dental health. Being proactive with regular checkups and cleanings helps prevent dental issues from developing or growing worse. However, over 19% of people in Texas do not have insurance, which can make paying for routine dental care sometimes difficult. The good news is that Doctors Network helps families across Texas remain as proactive as possible by keeping the costs of dental health care low. Checkups and cleanings are only $25 per visit under the network’s direct dental plan. Also, the costs for treatments such as teeth-whitening, Invisalign®, tooth-colored fillings, porcelain crowns, dental implants, and more are all drastically reduced by up to 90%.

    This is the best dentist office in Hurst, Texas. It’s spotless, in a great location, and has high-quality service. They also have the latest and greatest technology. They’ve made my smile look awesome, this place is just the best. From cleaning to whitening, they offer the best products. They’re great with Invisalign and veneers. Truly the best. I had veneers put in recently and they look great, very natural, but very white. Can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you’re thinking about veneers. Your smile will look great.

    I just recently started going to Dr. Drakeford. After my first appointment where she listened to my questions and concerns, she scheduled an appointment 3 days afterward for my crown prep and a temporary partial. I was worried about losing a tooth anchor for a filed 5 tooth bridge and not having a partial to make it look more natural until the treatment was complete. Dr. Drakeford took my concerns away and made me feel calm and comfortable. She had a new assistant who actually came in on her day off to help her with me. Friday was supposed to be her day off too, but she still came in and saw me. I left feeling very satisfied, and they were both very nice. The front desk staff was kind and caring. The office is very big and has the latest technology. They offer more operations than any other dentist in Dallas. The office is beautiful, and so is the art they hang up on the walls. I recommend this place, and I feel very lucky to have found them.

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.
