As adolescents, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties eating. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile, or even your youthful features. You need a new Aetna dentist in Thornton, CA who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be prescribed. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be secured with titanium implants. Dental implants are secured like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Thornton‘s proximity and have unsightly gaps in your smile, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


P. S. Please congratulate our dentists in Nashville, TN with us this week.

You can’t put a price on a full 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 bone loss in the jaw. To treat tooth loss, 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 dentures are locked into these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but far much longer with proper care.


Are you ready to replace missing teeth with dental implants? If you are wondering how much dental implants cost in Thornton, you are not alone, but firstly, you need to find a Thornton dentist who can offer surgical placement of dental implants. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your tooth loss, but also accepts Aetna. You can even register for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


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

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid foods. Even speaking clearly 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 prevents dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to prepare the gum for dental implants! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a great Thornton oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Aetna and offers this care. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make dental care affordable!


Ridge preservation is also known as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to rebuild jawbone structure in your mandible. Your dentist could use various sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandibular bone.


Once the area heals, biocompatible 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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Thornton, CA who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can talk. But the most serious complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body reduces the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without teeth, 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 Thornton, CA who can strengthen your smile.


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 upper jaw? Instead of a grafting procedure, your Thornton dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will push up the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support one or more implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to keep your jaw secure. Your new teeth then last for decades to come, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Thornton, CA oral surgeon who can address tooth loss and takes Aetna. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have 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 fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Do you have Loose teeth? Or, have you lost several of them? If so, this could mean more than just embarrassing gaps in your smile. Over time, you may suffer major oral health and function complications. In fact, you could even develop a prematurely aged appearance! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dental practice in Thornton, and we can help you find dentists that accept Aetna!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could become challenging too. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Thornton dentists or prosthodontists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Aetna.


Fixed partial dentures could address a single gap in the smile. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For a functional and effective prosthetic, you could find the best Thornton dentists that perform tooth implant. Don’t let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a dentist or prosthodontist!

It is essential for kids to visit the dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. By teaching children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the skills to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a pediatric dental office in Thornton who takes Aetna, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering exams and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child with protective sealants. Sealants are thin layers of film that go on top of their back teeth. They work as a protective film that forms a shield between their adult teeth and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80 percent. It is a simple tool that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another great tool that your pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your children’s teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your kid’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Thornton.

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.
