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.

    Dr. Kunthara and the rest of the staff at Simon Dental Care in Mesa are very kind and knowledgeable. A couple years ago I moved back from college where I had a previous dentist in Phoenix. This place let me come in as a transfer patient and was very thorough in their explanation of everything. They went through my treatment plan, asked me what my goals for my teeth were, took molds and casts of my current teeth, and just overall have been very thorough. I did research and I found a lot of options, but ultimately went with this place, and I’m glad I did. You can tell how much these people love their jobs by the high quality of work they do. I’ve recommended this place to my friends and family, trying to convince my family to drive a couple extra miles to come to Dr. Kunthara. She adjusted a wire for me the other day and then she called me later that day to make sure I wasn’t in any pain and that I didn’t have any questions. I’ve never seen any other dentist do that, and so that’s why I wrote this review. They truly have excellent customer service, they’re like no other place I’ve ever been to, and that’s why I have to recommend this place.

    I was a little nervous when my previous dentist in Mesa sold his business, but after being Dr. Nia’s patient for a couple of years now all my fears have gone away. He is very thorough in helping you understand every dental procedure. Appointments are easy to make around my work schedule. I never have to wait once I get there, and the staff is very personal. They treat you well. It’s always easy at this place because they offer the doctors network program, which makes it much more affordable to get dental work done compared to billing and other dental insurance in Mesa, AZ, which can sometimes be a headache. I really love this dentist in Mesa, and I recommend him to everyone.

    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 wish I could give Thomas & Thomas Dental more stars! Dr. Thomas and his staff deserve all the praise! I started going to him about eight years ago because I needed a root canal. I’ve heard all the awful root canal stories, but Dr. Thomas ensured I didn’t experience any of that! I had no pain at all during or after the procedure! When my dentist told me I needed a second opinion from an endodontist due to persistent tooth pain even after replacing my old fillings, I knew I’d go to Dr. Thomas. I called his office to book an appointment, and they fit me in that very day! I was so impressed because it was really late in the day! Dr. Thomas was as great as always - prompt, warm, funny, and smart. He knew just what was wrong with my tooth. He explained what was wrong and why he needed to redo the fillings my last dentist just put in. Dr. Thomas really loves his job and doesn’t do it for the money. He knew that I didn’t have insurance and was so empathetic. He offered to fix it right then at a reduced rate. I got the feeling that he wasn’t very happy that I just paid for the fillings he needed to replace. Tooth pain is awful, but Dr. Thomas can help fix you up! I no longer see that other dentist and only let Dr. Thomas work on my teeth from now on. If you live in Phoenix, AZ, I suggest you see him for all your dental needs!

    Dr. Kulkarni is the best. I now know what a professional and knowledgeable dentist should look like. Her top priority is the patients, she’s not in it for the money, and wouldn’t charge you for unnecessary procedures in an attempt to make more money, like some other dentists in the Sunnyslope area. She does quality work and is very thorough. I’ve had other dentists in the past rush through procedures just to get me out the door. Dr. Kulkarni is easy to talk to too. She’s the best dentist in Phoenix, AZ, and I’ve been to a lot of them. Everyone should look her up.

    I strongly recommend Family & Cosmetic Dental in Phoenix, AZ, especially Dr. Pulkrabek! I chose this dental practice because they had so many great reviews, and they were so on point! From the front desk to the exam room (receptionists, dental assistants and Dr. Pulkrabek), everyone was nice and competent. Dr. Pulkrabek carefully watched the work his assistant did and thoroughly and clearly answered my questions. He was also very hospitable and went the extra mile. It was a fantastic experience!

    I saw a lot of positive reviews for Adrian Pulkrabek DDS (Glendale, AZ) on Doctors Network, so I decided to schedule a cleaning and exam with them. The front desk receptionist was very kind and efficient. The hygienist did a phenomenal job cleaning my teeth, and after that was done, Dr. Pulkrabek examined my teeth in great detail. I got a clean bill of health! He didn’t try to push unnecessary services or procedures on me, and he didn’t try to make up problems to fix. I did have a discolored filling on my front tooth (from my last dentist), so I asked him about getting it refilled. He told me, “Sure, can you come in tomorrow?” The following day, the appointment took under an hour, and I walked out with a filling that matched the color of my tooth perfectly. Job well done - I’ve finally found my forever dentist!

    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.
