Doctors Network

As the sixth largest state in the U.S., Arizona is home to nearly seven million residents. As the Grand Canyon State, it is also a highly attractive location for families to enjoy the diverse, natural beauty of America’s wonders. Besides vacationers, however, Arizona’s permanent residents include families of all sizes, with just over 23% of the population being under the age of 18. At Doctors Network, our goal is to help Arizonians enjoy the benefits of affordable, high-quality dental care without worrying about having to pay exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses. With a direct dental plan from Doctors Network and your Arizona dentist, you can help significantly lower the costs of dental care for the whole family.

Doctors Network

San Tan Valley residents appreciate that the community is near enough to the big city to experience a wide variety of entertainment and cultural options, but far enough away to still appreciate the peace and beauty of more open spaces.

At Doctors Network, we believe that top rated dental care shouldn’t be a luxury—it’s something that should be accessible for everyone, regardless of insurance. We’re helping San Tan Valley one smile at a time.

    I have been going to Dr. Kunthara for 3 years, and I don’t mind the extra drive from Phoenix, because that’s how great she is. She doesn’t treat you as just a patient, but rather a friend, and listens to your opinions about the health of your mouth and teeth. She still does training for herself and her staff to make sure they always have updated information, which keeps her office at the top of its game. No two visits are ever the same, as the team continues to learn and grow as dental professionals in Mesa, AZ. The service is great and everyone is very kind. Dr. Kunthara even gives her personal cell phone number for after-hours. If I ever have a dental emergency I can call her at any time. Anyone who needs a dentist or is looking for a change should come here.

    My friend recommended Mesa Dental Care and Dr. Nia and her hygienist a couple months ago, and I finally made an appointment the other day. They were very friendly on the phone, answered the questions I had about my discount dental plan that I signed up for in office, and they got me scheduled for the next week. When I got there the Patient Care Coordinator (what an awesome title) made me feel very comfortable. She went through a more detailed explanation of how my dental plan in Mesa Dental Care would work with the procedures that were going to be done. Then I met the doctors, who were even more friendly and professional than they were over the phone, which I didn’t think was possible. They walked me through the whole procedure and explained why photos and x-rays of my mouth were necessary. I think they could tell I was nervous and that I needed all the information they gave me in order to be reassured. I’ve had Mesa dentists who don’t answer my questions or tell me I need procedures that I really didn’t need, they just want to get more out of me. Dr. Nia didn’t do that. I usually hate dentists, but I’m very happy with this place’s work. I completely trust, and would recommend them to anyone, they really know their stuff.

    My family has been going to Able Dental for about 2 years now, and we truly love it. As someone who used to work for a dentist in Phoenix, I feel as though I have enough knowledge to make an educated recommendation, and I would give this place 6 stars if I could. We have seen multiple dentists and hygienists here, and while they’re all wonderful I have to give Dr. Muscato a particular shout out, she rocks. Every visit is awesome, they truly take care of their patients here. (Even when my 8 year old son was throwing a fit). All of the staff are easy to talk to and professional. They have the latest technology to ensure you’re getting the best dental care. We never have to wait long in the waiting room, they’re very punctual. Their staff makes billing easy, even when we had questions regarding the dental plan. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

    I have been coming here for months and they wow me every time. The office in Phoenix is great! Everything is clean and up to date. They have spared no expense in ensuring you are relaxed, comforted and have the finest of everything. But even more importantly, they ALWAYS go out of their way to give you the finest care possible. The staff at the front desk welcome you as soon as you walk in the door. They are great at explaining it all to me. Thank you so much for explaining everything. You are the sweetest, most fun and helpful people I've ever met. The whole office is truly the best. They really make you feel like a part of the family and I always leave feeling incredibly amazing inside and confident knowing that my dental needs are being taken care of. Dr. Kulkarni even took the time to explain all the details to me herself! A+ rating for sure!

    Dr. Pulkrabek is the best dentist near me! He’ll put your mind at ease and make going to the dentist an enjoyable experience! I have been seeing him at Family & Cosmetic Dental in Phoenix for many years and have referred him to my family and friends. He’s an expert in his field and very careful, and his relaxing attitude reduces my anxiety. He is definitely a perfectionist, which is actually a good thing when it comes to dentists and does everything perfectly every single time. He far exceeds the skill and performance of any other dentist I’ve been to. Going to the dentist is usually never pleasant, but when you have Dr. Pulkrabek as your doctor, it’s pretty fantastic! He’s so funny and has an upbeat attitude, and you can really tell he cares about his patients. The person who manages the office and schedules appointments is awesome, too. I’m so fortunate to have found them, and I’ll never let any other dentist take care of my pearly whites!

    Went in for a teeth cleaning at Copper Star Dentistry the other day. Dr. Owens listened to my concerns and was very knowledgeable. I look forward to having him as my permanent dentist in Peoria, AZ. He’s trustworthy, I don’t think she would ever try to get me to pay for services I didn’t really need, unlike other dentists I’ve been too. Best dentist in Peoria, I’ve already recommended all my friends.

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.
