As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease is the number one cause. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have problems eating. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile, or even your youthful features. You need an amazing Aetna dentist in Empire, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will help connect you to a friendly dentist in your area. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For multiple missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following missing a tooth.


If you live in the Empire‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


P. S. Please celebrate our dental surgeons in Nashville, TN with us this week.

Nothing feels better than an attractive smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to a prematurely aged appearance. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts inserted into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near Empire, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Empire dentist who can offer implant dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts Aetna. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will assess the state of your smile. Underlying oral health concerns may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural ones!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating a variety of meals. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the break down of density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this leaves the smile too weak for implants. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make tooth replacement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you schedule an appointment with a great Empire oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and offers this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your gums. Your dentist could use various sources. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone may be recommended too. Others recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jawbone.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Empire, CO who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your meal options, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body decreases the flow of phosphate and calcium to the areas without roots, which in turn causes bone loss and an aged appearance and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address your missing teeth. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Empire, CO who can strengthen your smile.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Empire dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth can then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Empire, CO dentist who can provide these services and takes Aetna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have dental insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our financing option. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile can happen!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean complications with bite functions, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties speaking clearly. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to worsening dental health. In some cases, an older appearance could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to keep the jawbone strong. But what if your jaw is too weak for traditional implant dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Empire dental professional who specializes in performing All-On-4s.


Most implant dentures need between six and eight posts per jaw. But with All-on-4, you only need four posts. Even if your jaw is too weak for a traditional system this could still support a full set of teeth. No need to undergo bone ridge preservation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, dentists often refer to them as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Aetna dentists in Empire who can provide you with a new smile. You can even request an online dental visit.


If you questions about the cost, then consider signing up for our Direct Dental Plan. Our membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on major and minor treatments. This helps our Empire patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could become challenging as well. But the most serious complication is the the weakening of the jaw. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Empire dental professionals could discuss dental prosthetics that fit your smile, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.

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.
