Doctors Network

Missouri is the birthplace of America’s 33rd president, Harry Truman, and home to the nation’s largest beer brewery, Anheuser-Busch. Yet, it is perhaps more well-known for the St. Louis World’s Fair of 1904, which reportedly introduced most of the American foods we know and love today, including hot dogs, ice cream cones, Dr. Pepper, and much more. Today, the Show Me State is home to nearly 6.1 million residents, all of whom deserve to enjoy the benefits of exceptional dental care without having to pay exorbitant out-of-pocket costs. To help them all receive that care, Doctors Network has partnered with dentists across the state to offer patients direct dental plans directly through their dentists’ offices.

Doctors Network

Missouri is one of the nation’s friendliest places to raise a family, and boasts a relatively low cost of living coupled with a strong economy. However, dental health care costs can be a burden to families of all backgrounds and demographics, even when they have dental insurance coverage. The goal of Doctors Network is to help dentists across Missouri offer high-quality care directly to their patients, without the exorbitant extra costs that third-party insurance companies often tack on to their plans. With a direct dental plan, you only pay a small monthly fee, which your dentist will determine, to gain access to substantial savings on your dental health care. For instance, checkup and cleaning appointments only cost $25 per visit under the plan, and treatments such as teeth-whitening, dental fillings, crowns, Invisalign®, dental implants, and more will be significantly discounted—often by up to 90%!

    Who is Dr. Nicholas Hein DDS?
    view full bio

    Nicholas Hein is passionate about helping people. He believes that healthcare often feels like it’s about imposing solutions rather than collaborating with patients to find the best path forward. As a dentist, he takes pride in offering a different approach—working alongside his patients to understand and achieve their true goals.

    At Springfield Dental Care, Nicholas and his team explore options that many patients may not even know exist. This can lead to resolving long-standing dental issues or clarifying that certain treatments suggested by others may not be necessary.

    Nicholas values treating each patient as an individual and strives to provide a personal experience for everyone who visits. Having worked in environments where patients were treated like numbers, he understands that this approach results in inferior care. He believes that spending more time learning about what matters to each patient significantly enhances their experience.

    Nicholas and his team are committed to partnering with their patients to identify their needs and deliver the care they desire. They take joy in working with individuals who are eager to improve their quality of life and are thrilled to be part of that journey.

    Education and Experience
    Nicholas has been practicing dentistry for around 15 years. Growing up in a dental family, he watched his father passionately care for his patients in Denver, Colorado, and he aspired to provide that same level of service. He chose to settle in Southwest Missouri to make it his home.

    He attended Creighton University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, before beginning his dental education. Nicholas earned his Bachelor’s in Medical Science and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Colorado Health Science Center School of Dentistry in 2006.

    After completing dental school, he practiced alongside his father for two years before moving to Springfield in 2008.

    Continuing Education and Professional Affiliations
    Nicholas understands that dentistry, like all areas of healthcare, is constantly evolving. New research leads to innovative technologies, materials, and methods that enhance diagnostics, treatment, and outcomes.

    He is a member of several professional organizations, including:
     • Academy of General Dentistry
     • Greater Springfield Dental Society (Past President)

    Beyond the Office
    Outside of his practice, Nicholas enjoys spending time with his family. He and his wife Tara have two active children who keep them busy. Tara, who has worked in various roles in dentistry, now focuses on supporting dental practices remotely.

    The Heins love living in the Ozarks, where the community, natural beauty, and recreational opportunities align perfectly with their lifestyle.

What are dental veneers?

t
tenderness-screener-870

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells. They are bonded to the front (buccal) surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These dental restorations are usually made from either porcelain or composite resin. They are tailored to match the natural color and shape of your teeth. This popular cosmetic procedure can correct many imperfections, including chipped, cracked, stained, short, or misaligned teeth. One of the benefits of getting veneers is the transformation it can have on your smile. If you have stained teeth that do not respond well to teeth whitening treatments, veneers can provide a lasting solution by covering the stains and defects and giving you a whiter, more youthful smile. Veneers can improve the look of one's teeth. With minor misalignment, they are eliminating the necessity of extensive orthodontic treatment. Another key advantage of veneers is their ability to repair defective, chipped or cracked teeth. The dentist can restore the tooth's shape and strength by placing a veneer over the surface of the damaged tooth while achieving a seamless blend with the surrounding Veneers. This can help enhance the looks of your teeth. It can even help close small gaps between them, providing a more uniform smile. Additionally, veneers are very durable and resistant to staining, letting you to enjoy a beautiful smile without worrying about coffee or wine stains. Taking care of your teeth is essential and can be achieved via regular dental check-ups and persistently good oral hygiene habits. Veneers are no exception, but with proper dental care, they can maintain their natural appearance and functionality for a very long time. If you are considering getting veneers in Brooklyn, NY, finding a skilled and experienced dentist near you is of paramount. Find a dentist specializing in cosmetic dentistry with a good track record of successful veneer placement. Reading online patient reviews and testimonials can provide wonderful insights into the quality of dental care and outcomes you can expect. When you consult with a dentist in NYC or Brooklyn, they will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and expectations, and work with you to create a veneer plan that is personalized to you. If you are a good candidate for dental porcelain veneers, the dentist will prepare (gently cut) your teeth by removing a small layer of surface enamel to ensure a proper shape for the veneers. Then, they will take 3D digital scans or impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers that suit your unique smile. Once the veneers are fabricated, the dentist will bond them to the enamel of your teeth, making any necessary optimizations for ideal fit and appearance. In summary, dental veneers are a versatile cosmetic dental solution for enhancing your smile. Whether you have short, stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth, veneers can offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. By selecting a skilled cosmetic dentist, you can achieve the smile you've always desired. Start your journey toward a confident smile by booking your first consultation.

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.
