Periodontal disease is a common oral health issue. In fact, studies from the CDC reveal about 50% of adults over the age of thirty have gum disease. Without treatment, gum disease could impact smile stability. Also known as periodontitis, this is actually one of the most common causes of edentulism. All that to say, when you develop changes in your gums, you should seek help as soon as possible. Red and bloody gums are common indicators that you need to find a Thornton dental office.


Doctor Network’s search tool can help connect you with restorative dentists in Thornton CO that accept new patients and can offer a route to a healthier smile after a dental examination. If there is a presence of gingivitis or gum disease, then a treatment plan can be created. For mild to moderate periodontitis, a deep cleaning followed by traditional cleanings every three to four months could prevent symptoms. For the later stages of the disease, there are options like gum grafts, laser dentistry, and more to protect your smile!

Grownups are not the only ones who benefit from family dentistry. Kids need regular dental exams as well, and they need to be monitored by a dental professional for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to find a pediatric dental professional in Thornton, CO with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as soon as all twenty baby teeth erupt, and should be scheduled twice a year. These visits enable your Thornton pediatric dentist to keep track of your child’s dental development, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, kids can often receive preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their dentition and prevent tooth caries. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, this layer of acrylic can last as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for dentists in Thornton who can treat your entire family, contact us. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care kids not only can enjoy healthy smiles, but they also understand the importance of caring for their smiles. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first consultation. So, use our search tool to find the right dentist for you!

When the season changes, people start going out and enjoying the weather, and of course, we want to look our best when we socialize, which is why many people seek to brighten their teeth. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to improve imperfections. Teeth stains can be removed, and teeth crowding and gaps can be fixed with Invisalign®. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of bright, healthy teeth. We want to help you book an online appointment with Thornton cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have no insurance and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve a perfect smile.


Correcting your smile starts with a comprehensive exam with your dentist in Thornton, CO. The doctor will carefully identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the extent and cause of your concerns to come up with a tailored treatment for your smile. For stains, professional teeth whitening could brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can address dental damage in one visit. Gum contouring utilizes laser technology to reshape the gum line and correct gummy smiles. Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you don’t have a dentist in the Thornton, CO area, we can help! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with no insurance. We want to help you obtain a smile that looks amazing!

According to studies by the CDC, over half of the population older than 30 suffer from poor periodontal health. Without intervention, this condition could lead to painful symptoms, including sore gums. The advanced stage, known as periodontitis, could also cause missing teeth. This is why care from a Thornton dental specialist is necessary when you begin to exhibit the common warning signs. We can help by connecting you to one that accepts new patients. After all, we all benefit from routine dental care!


How does the poor gum health come about? The disease could occur due to lack of proper brushing and flossing. Some could develop it due to lack of dental cleaning visits, or due to certain medications, inflammatory illness, tobacco use, or even a family history of the disease. As we touched on above, tell-tell signs include sore, red, and bleeding gums. By seeing a dentist in Thornton, CO you can receive periodontal treatments like scaling and root planing to bring relief and improve your oral health. These treatments could be accepted by insurance plans.


If you feel concerned, or if you simply have not been to a dentist in the last six months, you should book an online appointment. At Doctors Network, we can find the right dentists in Thornton who accept new patients. Good oral health is always possible, and we can help facilitate this process!

It is essential for kids to visit the dentist bi-yearly for dental visits and cleanings. By teaching your kids preventative measures to protect their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for many years. If you are looking for a kids’ dentist in Thornton who takes private patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with 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 back molars and germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of infection by up to 80 percent. It is a simple treatment that is very effective at preventing the need for fillings in the future.


Fluoride treatments are another proven tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps strengthen your child’s enamel. 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 decay. This procedure helps mitigate this damage. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, please schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Thornton.

Many folks would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see myriad products that promote their teeth whitening abilities. If you have used any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Thornton, CO that works with patients without dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Thornton dental care provider, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home option. If you choose the in-office treatment, you will have brighter teeth within about 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 get whitening at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill with a safe bleaching or peroxide solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for approximately two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to request a visit online with a Thornton dentist that takes patients without dental insurance, we can help you find the best ones.

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.
