As children, we lose our primary teeth over time. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have difficulties eating. Problems articulating are a common consequence. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a new MetLife dentist in Telluride, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help locate one.


First, we will help connect you to a skilled dentist near you. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For multiple gaps, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete denture could be custom-made. While most complete dentures and partials are removable, they could be supported with long-lasting dental implants. Dental implants act as natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Telluride‘s proximity and need a solution for tooth loss, let us know. We can get you started on receiving bridges or dentures. A full smile is possible, even if you’ve suffered complete tooth loss, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

Nothing feels better than showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to trouble 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 options, such as dentures or fixed partial 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 and attention.


Are you ready to address unsightly gaps with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs in Telluride, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Telluride dentist who can offer tooth replacement. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your tooth loss, but also works with MetLife. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network dental plan to reduce the cost of your treatment.


The dentist will carefully examine your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease 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!

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even talking 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 limits 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 Telluride oral surgeon who is in-network with MetLife and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Jawbone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your mandible. Your dentist could employ new tissue from multiple sources. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials like bovine bone could also be used. Some opt for synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will allow them to bond with the jaw. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Telluride, CO who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our membership plan to make sure your care fits in your budget!

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


As we’ve discussed in previous posts, a ridge augmentation procedure helps strengthen the mandible, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper jaw? Instead of adding new tissue, your Telluride dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new bone structure. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to preserve the area. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support new teeth, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Telluride, CO oral surgeon who can offer a sinus lift and takes MetLife. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole 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 monthly membership plan. With a monthly 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 major problems for your smile, from trouble masticating a variety of foods, to difficulties speaking clearly. Your jaw loses bone mass following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. In some cases, a breakdown in the facial structures 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 Telluride family dentist who provides unique implant dentures.


Most implant-supported dentures need between six and eight implants per arch. But with All-on-4, just four implants are required. Even if your jaw has lost mass and density this could still support a full set of dentures. No need to undergo jawbone grafting or sinus lifts beforehand! These can also often be placed with the denture attached on the same visit. In fact, that’s why this is often referred to as Teeth-In-A-Day. Our team can help find best MetLife dentists in Telluride who can restore your new smile. You can even book an online dentist visit.


If you have a limited budget, then consider registering for our Direct Dental Plan. Our simple 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 Telluride patients find affordable dental care, and obtain healthier smiles.

Do you have Loose teeth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean impacts beyond the smile esthetics. Over time, you may suffer major oral function and health complications. In fact, you could even develop major changes to your facial structures! To replace your missing teeth, you need help from a good dental practice around Telluride, and we can help you find dentists that accept MetLife!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, causing dental misalignment. The pressure on your tempromandibular joints and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like TMD or persistent teeth grinding or clenching. You could have difficulty eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could be difficult too. But the most severe complication is the loss of mass and density in the jawbone. This means that you could suffer further tooth loss. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Telluride dentists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with MetLife.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on 4 dental implants could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the perfect solution to your tooth loss, you could find the best Telluride dentists who perform implants. Don’t let missing teeth complicate your daily life, and talk to our team about finding a 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.
