Doctors Network

Though Delaware is one of the smallest states (with a population of just over 950,000), it was the first to ratify the U.S. Constitution and become a state. Though its most current title is that of The First State, Delaware was first nicknamed the Diamond State by Thomas Jefferson, who called the state a jewel thanks to its ideal location. In the trailblazing spirit that sets the state apart, dentists across Delaware now offer their patients direct dental plans through Doctors Network—a program developed by like-minded doctors and dentists who believe health care should be affordable to all. With a direct dental plan, families across Delaware can enjoy the benefits of beautiful, healthy smiles for life at significantly reduced costs, even if they already have dental insurance.

Doctors Network

Listed as one of the top states for retirees in terms of economy, Delaware boasts a highly reasonable cost of living, and less than seven percent of its residents lack insurance coverage. However, even with dental insurance, the costs of professional dental care can add up quickly, especially as patients grow older. While insurance may cover some portion of the costs for a select number of treatments, a direct dental plan with Doctors Network covers every procedure that your dentist offers. Patients can attend regular checkups and cleanings for only $25 per visit, including X-rays, and other procedures (such as crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, and more) will be discounted by up to 90%. The plan does not interfere with insurance, so you can still sign up even if you already have dental coverage.

    I feel lucky to have found Whitman Dental Center It has a relaxing atmosphere, the office is spotless and the receptionists, dental assistants, and dentists are very nice. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a couple of years and they got me started with thorough but fast dental x-rays and a cleaning that wasn’t invasive at all. They checked on me throughout my visit to make sure I was doing OK. Dr. Solanki patiently answered all my questions and helped me feel comfortable. We also came up with a treatment plan that would help me get my teeth looking healthy. I can’t thank the staff here enough.

What is a dental filling?

d

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.
