Doctors Network

Rhode Island is the smallest of the United States, though its importance to America’s history is undeniable. For instance, the Battle of Rhode Island marked the first attempt at cooperation between the French and U.S. against British forces. The founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, was also credited by Thomas Jefferson and John Adams as the inspiration behind the First Amendment. Today, Rhode Island is home to nearly 1.1 million residents, and taking care of their families is equally important. This is why dentists across the Ocean State have teamed up with Doctors Network to help their patients more easily afford the high-quality dental care they deserve. Through dental plans offered directly by their dentists, patients can enjoy unprecedented discounts on their dental treatments, from preventive visits to cosmetic, restorative, and prosthetic restorations, and more.

As the state that pioneered polo and the first open golf tournament in the United States, Rhode Islanders know about health and fitness. In fact, less than 6.7% of the population lacks insurance. Nevertheless, dental health insurance is not always adequate for patients who do have it, especially when unique dental issues develop and require expensive treatment. The direct dental plans that Doctors Network offers ensures Rhode Islanders that taking good care of their dental health doesn’t have to be a costly experience. Under the plan, dental checkup and cleaning appointments are only $25 per visit, and include X-rays when necessary at no additional cost. Patients who want to improve or need to restore their smiles can save up to 90% on treatments such as teeth-whitening, Invisalign® aligners, tooth-colored fillings, dental implants, and much more.

What is a dental filling?

A dental filling or a tooth filling is a common dental procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by tooth decay, also known as cavities or caries. This procedure involves the removal (excavation) of the decayed portion of the tooth and the replacement of the preparation with the ideal filling material. The goal of a tooth filling is to restore the function, integrity, and shape of the tooth, and to prevent further tooth decay. There are several types of filling material that can be utilized, including: 1. Amalgam (silver or metal) fillings: Amalgam fillings, AKA silver fillings, are made from an alloy of metals that include mercury, tin, silver, and copper. These fillings are very strong and durable and have been used for several years. However, they aren't as aesthetically pleasing as other types and may not be used for visible front teeth. 2. Composite (tooth colored) fillings: Composite fillings, AKA white fillings, are made of a mixture of plastic and glass. These fillings can be closely matched to the color of your teeth, making them a very aesthetically pleasing option. They are used in front teeth as well as posterior teeth (molars). 3. Gold fillings: Gold fillings are made from a mixture or alloy of gold, copper, and other precious metals. They are very durable, and long-lasting but are also more expensive than other fillings types. 4. Ceramic fillings: Ceramic fillings are made up of a mixture of ceramic materials and can be closely matched to the color of your teeth. They are comparatively expensive, but they are also strong and durable. The dental filling procedure typically begins with an examination of the diseased tooth by a dentist. They will examine the tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the decay. The dentist will numb the area around the tooth with local anesthetic (Novocaine). Then the dentist will use special dental tools to remove the decayed part of the tooth. Once the decay has been excavated (removed), the tooth will be cleaned and prepared for the filling material. The dentist will place the filling substance in the tooth preparation and shape it to the correct form and shape. If a composite (white) filling is used, it will be hardened with a special curing light. The dentist will then polish the filling down to ensure that it is smooth and comfortable while chewing. After the procedure, the tooth may be slightly sensitive to temperature and pressure for a number of days. This sensitivity is usually transient and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers (NSAIDs). It's crucial to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the dentist such as avoiding hard or crunchy foods for the first hour, avoiding biting on the fresh filling for a while, and generally maintaining good oral hygiene to ensure that the filling lasts a long time. To summarize, a dental filling is a dental procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by caries. The procedure involves the removal of the decay and the restoration of that area with a filling material. There are multiple types of filling materials that can be used, including amalgam (silver), composite(tooth-colored), gold, and ceramic fillings. The procedure usually involves numbing the area around the tooth and using special tools to remove the decayed parts of the tooth. After the filling procedure, the tooth may be sensitive to hot or cold and pressure for a few days, but this should be temporary. Follow the post-operative instructions provided by the dentist, and if the sensitivity does not dissipate after a couple of weeks, let your dental professional know.

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.
