When Dr. Bruce Lee treats his patients, he works hard to make them feel at home. He believes that forming strong relationships with his patients is necessary to provide them with a positive dental experience, so he always makes it a point to be warm and welcoming to everyone he has the pleasure of working with.

Dr. Lee loves what he does, and finds joy in making lasting friendships with his patients and providing them with high-quality healthcare. To ensure that his patients only receive the best dental treatments, Dr. Lee attends many continuing education courses. He is also a firm believer in using his dental skills and knowledge to give back to those in need. So, he took part in mission trips to Mexico with the LDS church for two years. He continues to visit Mexico to provide underserved families with free dental services today.

As children, we lose our deciduous teeth as our smile develops. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems with nutritional intake. Problems articulating could occur. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a professional and friendly Aetna dentist in Applewood, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will help connect you to an amazing dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For less severe cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be prescribed. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Applewood area and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can get you started on receiving a dental prosthetic. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have gone by since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than an attractive smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional options, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like full and partial dentures are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but several decades with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you want to know how much dental implants cost near you in Applewood, you are not alone, but first, you need to find a Applewood dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also takes Aetna. Same-day appointments are usually available. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to reduce the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues such as periodontitis may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer quality prosthetics that look and function like natural dentition!

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 loss of structure in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a local Applewood dentist who is in-network with Aetna and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make dental care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could be employed as well. We could also recommend synthetic materials. During 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 see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, allowing long-lasting tooth replacement. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Applewood, CO who performs ridge augmentation and dental implants, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits 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 serious complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium and phosphate to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the jaw 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 Applewood, CO who can make smiles ready for implants.


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a jawbone grafting procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the the upper area? Instead of adding new tissue, your Applewood dentist could perform a sinus lift. Basically, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to induce the formation of new bone structure. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Applewood, CO dental professional 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 a complete smile. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is possible again!

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 talking. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to the loss of additional teeth. In some cases, a prematurely aged appearance could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to preserve your facial structures. But what if your jaw is too weak for a set of implant-secured dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Applewood dental professional who specializes in performing All-On-4s.


Most implant-supported dentures need between 6 and 8 implant fixtures per arch. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has begun to break down this could still support a full set of tooth replacement. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, these are often known as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best Aetna dentists in Applewood who can offer these lifelike prosthetics. You can even book an online dentist 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 your tooth replacement costs. This helps our Applewood patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have any tooth missing? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean major oral health complications. Over time, the health and function of your smile suffers. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dentist nearby Applewood, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept Aetna!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, impacting your overall smile alignment. 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 be difficult as well. But the most serious complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Applewood dentists or prosthodontists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on four dental implants could provide solutions for more severe cases. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Applewood dentists that offer dental implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

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.
