When the season changes, people start going out and enjoying the weather, and of course, we want an attractive smile when we socialize, which is why many people seek cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed purely to correct common esthetic issues. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding and gaps can be fixed with Invisalign®. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of better oral health. We want to help connect you to Sheffield dentists who take on patients who have no insurance and can offer the range of treatment needed to transform your teeth.


The first step toward a new smile is a comprehensive exam with your cosmetic dentist in Sheffield, AL. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using intraoral camera technology for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause and extent of your cosmetic concerns to find a tailored treatment for your smile. For stains, professional teeth whitening could correct discolored teeth. Dental bonding and contouring can repair teeth and mask imperfections in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and manage gum disease. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with uneven teeth, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you don’t have a cosmetic dentist in the Sheffield, AL area, we can help! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with no insurance. We want to help you obtain a smile that is also healthy and strong!

It is paramount for kids to visit a pediatric dentist on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the tools to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids dentist in Sheffield who accepts patients with no dental insurance, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with protective sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your kids’ dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s enamel. While enamel is one of the most durable substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your little one’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Sheffield.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you venture down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide disappointing results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Sheffield, AL that accepts patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Sheffield dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to choose whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can use along with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will put these on for a few hours each day for roughly two weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a more radiant smile. If you would like to book an appointment with a Sheffield dentist that accepts patients with no dental coverage, we can help you find the best ones.

If it has been a long time since you last visited a dentist, you should schedule a consultation as soon as possible. When you go in for bi-annual dental checkups, your dentist can thoroughly examine your teeth to make sure nothing is awry. This helps prevent dental caries from occurring, minimizing the chance of needing more invasive procedures in the future. If you need to schedule an online appointment with a dentist in Sheffield, AL that accepts private patients we can help you find a great match.

When you visit your dentist for a checkup, they will start with a thorough cleaning. This will remove tartar that is hard to remove at home — even with terrific brushing and flossing habits. The cleaning will leave your teeth feeling fresh.

Once your cleaning is done, your Sheffield dentist will begin her or his examination. During this portion of your appointment, the dentist will thoroughly look at your dentition to identify any potential issues. If they find anything amiss, they will explain your treatment options. The Sheffield dental office we set you up with will offer a wide range of services to address a variety of dental complications. If you visit the dentist regularly they can monitor the health of your mouth. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment with a dentist that takes private patients, we can help you find a great one.

With a population of nearly five million, Alabama is one of the most historically relevant of the United States. For instance, the first rocket to put humans on the moon was built by Alabamians. The state is also one of the most health-conscious, and is known for a generally reasonable cost of living and its affordable health care programs. Doctors Network helps keep that reputation strong by providing Alabamians with highly affordable direct dental plans. By signing up with a direct plan at your primary dentist’s office, you can enjoy significant savings on all aspects of your dental health care, even if you already have existing dental insurance coverage.

Over 16% of Alabama residents are over the age of 65, while almost 23% are under the age of 18. For both age groups, personalized dental care is especially important. Older patients often require restoration or prosthodontic care to replace lost teeth; younger patients may need additional ongoing preventive measures, such as orthodontics, to avoid more serious issues later in life. On top of routine general dental care, treatment for seniors and children can cause the costs of your family’s dental care to skyrocket. Fortunately, Doctors Network offers families throughout Alabama a highly affordable alternative to managing dental care costs with a direct dental plan.

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.
