Beth C.

I have a lot of dental problems, so I’ve been terrified to go to the dentist in fear of what they’d tell me. I perused some online reviews and came across Dr. Schambeau at Schambeau Dental Care in Bessemer, AL. As soon as I walked in, I felt a warm welcome. The office was clean and organized, and they took me back right when my appointment was scheduled. The staff was very kind, and it was like I’d been going there for years. They had a lot of high-tech equipment, which was a bonus. Their chairs even had built-in back massagers, and I watched TV as they worked on me. Dr. Schambeau was very thorough, professional, and helpful. I wasn’t overwhelmed, but instead, I walked out feeling hopeful. He walked me through my treatment plan step by step and showed me how much it would all cost. Now, I can go to my appointments without wondering what I’m going to have to pay. That’s a big deal for me. Plus, they even gave me an adorable t-shirt for being a new patient!

A common reason to look for a dentist is to address a toothache. While sudden discomfort could occur for multiple reasons, including sinus congestion, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For instance, a persistent toothache could be caused by dental caries, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding. When you have a toothache that lingers, you most likely need a dentist. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Tuscaloosa, AL community who takes United Healthcare!


When the dentist examines your smile, digital x-rays are used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, a dental restoration is chosen. For children and adult patients alike, a tooth-filling made from biocompatible material could bring relief. A dental cap or crown could also be used to treat more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance. If you have an aching tooth, use our search module to find Tuscaloosa dentists who are open on Saturdays and request an appointment.

Have you ever noticed popping or crackling sound in the jaw? Do you have frequent headaches or jaw pain? If so, this could be related to two common jaw joint issues. Around twenty-five million people in the United States suffer from chronic bruxism and TMJ dysfunction. Without treatment, these could not only cause pain, but actually wear down outer tooth structure! Fortunately, your friends at Doctors Network can connect you to a dentist in Tuscaloosa, AL who accepts United Healthcare.


While very different from one another, we often find these are related. TMJ disorder develops when the the temporomandibular joints become strained. This could cause problems when you eat or speak. Common symptoms include pain in the jaw, head, and neck. Bruxism means you grind or clench your teeth nightly. The stress caused by grinding could cause jaw pain. Teeth grinding could also damage teeth. This damage could lead to decay, infection, and more. Both disorders could be caused by issues that upset bite balance, and untreated TMJ disorder could cause bruxism, and vice-versa. When you have persistent pain in your head and neck, you should find help. We can even connect you with a dentist in Tuscaloosa who accepts United Healthcare.


Treatment options often vary; for some, relief is possible following crown placement, which improves bite balance. For others, treating misalignment with braces could ease strain and stop symptoms. The most common option most dentists offer is a custom splint, which fits like a nightguard. If you need to find treatment from a Tuscaloosa dentist. then contact our team!

Do you have a severely decayed tooth that needs treatment? If so, the placement of a dental crown could help. The restoration is crafted for your dentition and can return beauty, function, and health to your smile. Our team can help find you a Tuscaloosa, AL dentist who can restore your smile, and also who will accept United Healthcare. Do not risk an infection!


One of the first signs of trouble could be an aching tooth. This could be due to the presence of decayed teeth. As toothache worsens, you could risk the spread of infection or even the loss of your tooth. An injury that chips a tooth could also lead to complications like infection with time. In such cases, restorative treatment could save the tooth. If the problem is too severe for a tooth filling, then you may need to receive a dental crown.


The crown is a complete dental restoration. Once placed, this will cover the entire outer tooth structure. They could be made from very strong, biocompatible materials like metal alloys. However, many dentists in the Tuscaloosa, AL area offer more aesthetic options fabricated from resin. The total placement process takes about two visits to complete. The restoration, whether we use a metal or more aesthetic options, will be created specifically for your tooth. The custom nature of this dental prosthetic helps ensure a balanced bite, protecting your smile from complications like TMJ disorder. If you have a tooth that needs treatment then use Doctors Network. We can help you find the dental practices that meet your needs and take United Healthcare.

It is paramount for kids to visit the dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children great oral health habits, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a dentist in Tuscaloosa who accepts United Healthcare, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with dental sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult teeth and harmful germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to eighty percent. It is a simple service that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another effective tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s teeth. 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 dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our dental practices in Tuscaloosa.

Many individuals would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any grocery store, you see numerous products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have tried any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Tuscaloosa, AL that works with United Healthcare, we can help you find one that offers professional teeth whitening.

When you visit your Tuscaloosa dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about an hour. When you come in, your dentist will apply a bleaching gel to your front teeth that is then activated with a specialized light that removes discoloration.

If you would prefer to choose an at-home treatment, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for roughly 2 weeks. Once this treatment is done, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to schedule a consultation online with a Tuscaloosa dentist that accepts United Healthcare, we can help you find the best ones.

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.

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.
