Doctors Network

The state of Kentucky is rich in U.S. history. It is the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, as well as being home to the Kentucky Derby and the original Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, and much more. Today, over 4.4 million residents are proud to call the Bluegrass State home for much more than just its historical significance. With a relatively low cost of living and a thriving agricultural and industrial economy, Kentucky is one of the best places to raise a family. To make it even better, dentists across the state have teamed with Doctors Network to help all of their patients substantially lower their families’ dental health care costs.

Doctors Network

The preventive benefits of attending regular checkups and cleanings can have a significant impact on more than just your oral health. For instance, biannual checkups and cleanings are often enough to keep a healthy smile, but if you falter in your schedule, then dental issues can form that require more expensive treatment. In Kentucky, seven percent of residents do not have dental insurance, and therefore may not be able to afford treatment. For patients with insurance, their coverage may still leave them with unexpectedly high out-of-pocket expenses. With a direct dental plan from Doctors Network and local Kentucky dentists, families can significantly lighten the burden of dental health care costs, whether or not they already have dental insurance. Membership in the network guarantees that every checkup and cleaning appointment you attend only costs $25 per visit, and every other procedure you receive is discounted, often by up to 90%.

    Dr. Charles Crowl's journey into dentistry was influenced by his own experiences as a child requiring extensive dental work, which initially made him apprehensive about dental visits.

This dentist’s gentle approach and clear communication transformed Dr. Crowl’s perception of dental care, showing him that it didn’t have to be painful. This pivotal moment inspired him to become the kind of dentist who could change patients’ attitudes toward their own dental experiences.

    To achieve this, Dr. Crowl fosters a warm and inviting environment in his practice, encouraging patients to feel empowered and confident about their smiles. He treats each individual with care and attention, ensuring they are recognized as more than just a number.

After practicing in the Chicago area for 30 years, he relocated to Louisville in 2017 to be closer to family. Since earning his degree, he has pursued further education in cosmetic dentistry, dental implant surgery, and orthodontics.

    Volunteering and travel are also significant passions for Dr. Crowl. He enjoys exploring both locally and internationally, often seeking opportunities to combine his love for travel with dentistry through dental mission trips. He is dedicated to demonstrating to patients, near and far, that dentistry can be a compassionate and caring experience. Dr. Crowl is committed to always prioritizing the best interests of his patients.

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.

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.
