Anthony J.

I had the same dentist until I moved to Bessemer, Alabama in my early 20s. I’m now almost 40 and have been looking for a dentist similar to the one I had as a kid. After many failed attempts to find a dentist who meets my needs, we found Schambeau Dental Care. The staff is great! Everyone is so kind, and Dr. Schambeau is very considerate and explains things one step at a time. They don’t pressure you to do unnecessary services like other practices. They treated us like family and made our children feel comfortable during their cleanings. Thank you for the love and consideration that you show your patients!

As children, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth is caused by oral health issues. The advanced stage of gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even your youthful features. You need an excellent Guardian dentist in Birmingham, AL who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and stimulate bone preservation in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Birmingham‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please applaud our dental professionals in Nashville, TN with us this week.

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop cavities and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only missing teeth, but a spread of infection to other areas of the jaw. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require immediate removal. At Doctors Network, our team can help you find a Guardian dentist or oral surgeon in Birmingham, AL who can provide a gentle tooth removal as needed.


As we discussed earlier, severe cavities or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by periodontal disease. Taking out a tooth could restore overall balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for orthodontic treatment! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for a full prosthetic. Your Birmingham dentist could use the procedure to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand when and why a tooth may need an extraction, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in the Birmingham, AL area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a payment plan! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a monthly fee. For some, this could reduce the cost of care by up to ninety percent!

You probably know many people who have had their wisdom teeth removed and are eager to tell their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a oral surgeon. If you need these teeth extracted, it is important to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should expect from the dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Birmingham, AL that accepts Guardian.


Wisdom teeth are located in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their appearance can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd directions, only partially come in, or overcrowd your existing teeth. When this occurs, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very uncomfortable and can damage your dentition. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Birmingham dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.


If you do need wisdom teeth extraction, your oral healthcare professional will determine how they will go about the procedure to make certain everything goes according to the plan. They will decide how many of your teeth need to be removed and how complex it will be. They will also determine the appropriate type of anesthesia and the position of your existing teeth and nerve. Once they ascertain this information, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation option, so you will not experience any pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and look after you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are extracted, you will receive information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Birmingham dentists that accept Guardian and can adeptly extract your wisdom teeth.

It is crucial for children to visit a dental professional on a biannual basis for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your kids how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for life. If you are looking for a pediatric dental professional in Birmingham who takes Guardian, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid with dental sealants. These are thin pieces of film that go over their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of tooth decay by up to 80%. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dental professionals provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your child’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective 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 prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Birmingham.

Many individuals would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any pharmacy, you see myriad products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional tooth whitening can actually provide a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Birmingham, AL that takes Guardian, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Birmingham dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment. Should you opt for treatment in the office, you will only have to stay for roughly 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 go with whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe whitening solution. You will wear these for a few hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a brighter smile. If you would like to schedule a visit with a Birmingham dentist that accepts Guardian, 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.

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.
