As kids, we lose our primary teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Periodontal disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means issues with smile stability. You could have difficulties with nutritional intake. Problems speaking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a professional and friendly Healthplex dentist in Lakewood, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will connect you to a dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can examine your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, restoring smile function. For multiple missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be stablized with multiple dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Lakewood area and have lost your natural teeth, let us help. We can get you started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. The smile of your dreams is possible, even if you’ve lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have elapsed since that happened!


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

There is no substitute for showing off a perfect 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 bone loss in the jaw. To treat missing teeth, people often turn to dental implants. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as bridges or removable dentures, these are connected to posts that act as new roots. Crowns or even prosthetics like dentures are securely attached to these implant posts. These then act as new roots, so your new teeth can last not ten years, but possibly a lifetime with proper care and attention.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Lakewood, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Lakewood dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental professional who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts Healthplex. 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 factors may need to be addressed before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer replacement teeth that look and function like natural teeth!

Major problems arise when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the loss of mass and 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 help you schedule an appointment with a great Lakewood oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Healthplex and offers ridge augmentation. In addition, we could also discuss our payment plans to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to restore the lost 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 could be employed as well. Some opt for synthetic materials. Through oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


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, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Lakewood, 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 several problems for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe 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 Lakewood, 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 upper jaw? Instead of grafting, your Lakewood dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to induce the formation of new tissues. The new structure can support your new implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth 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 Lakewood, CO oral surgeon who can offer a sinus lift and takes Healthplex. 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 good oral health. 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 can happen!

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, you may develop negative impacts on the beauty, health, and function of your smile. In fact, you could even lose many youthful features! To replace your loose teeth, you need help from a good dental practice around Lakewood, and we can help you find dentists that accept Healthplex!


What happens when gaps appear in your smile? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, impacting your overall smile alignment. The pressure on your jaw joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMJ disorder or bruxism. You could have difficulty consuming solid foods, and speaking clearly could be complicated too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, you could begin to look much older! But help is available, as Lakewood dentists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with Healthplex.


Dental bridges could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Lakewood dentists that perform dental implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding an implantologist!

It is imperative for children to visit a dental professional 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 dental office in Lakewood who takes Healthplex, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your child 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 barrier between their back molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay 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 great tool that your dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen your children’s enamel layer. 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 dental caries. Fluoride treatment prevents this from happening. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Lakewood.

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.
