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 kids, we lose our baby teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, in adulthood, losing teeth is often due to injury. Periodontitis leads to major tooth loss. Since missing teeth at this age isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have problems eating. Problems talking could occur. Finally, you could risk damages to your smile, or even your facial structure. You need a skilled in-network dentist in Derby, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to a skilled dentist near you. Once we do, your new dentist can inspect your smile to diagnose the conditions for your tooth loss. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be placed, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture could be prescribed. While most complete dentures and partial dentures are removable, they could be supported with dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jaw and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Derby area and need a solution for tooth loss, let us help. We can help you get started on receiving the tooth replacement you need. Model-worthy teeth are within reach, even if you’ve suffered edentulism, and even if years have elapsed since that happened!


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

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is injured, you need treatment. Otherwise, the tooth could develop caries and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only a lost tooth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling or a root canal. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you book a visit with a knowledgeable dentist in Derby, CO who can provide a effective tooth extraction as needed.


As we discussed earlier, advanced decay or injury could be why a tooth needs extraction. But a dentist could also remove one that is loosened by gum disease. Removing a tooth could return balance and chewing function. Extraction could also provide room for treatment with braces! In many cases, this could prevent wisdom tooth impaction. Removing wisdom teeth prior to eruption helps preserve the balance and appearance of your smile. For people with advanced tooth loss, removing the last few teeth essentially paves the way for dentures. Your Derby dentist could use the extraction to improve the function, health, and even the beauty of your smile.


Now that you understand why and when a tooth may require removal, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can find a great dental practice in the Derby, CO area. But if you don’t have a dental plan, you may worry about the cost. Fortunately, we have a financing option! Our dental membership plan is opened with an initial fee and maintained with a low monthly cost. For some, this could discount care by up to ninety percent!

You probably have lots of friends who have had their wisdom tooth extracted and are eager to divulge their experiences to you. While this can be helpful, it is still necessary to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need your wisdom teeth removed, it is best to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from the procedure and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great dentist near you in Derby, CO that accepts patients without dental insurance.


The third molars or wisdom teeth are in the back of your mouth, and there is one on each quadrant. They most commonly appear between seventeen and twenty-five. Because wisdom teeth come in later than the rest of your teeth, their arrival can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at odd directions, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your current teeth. When this occurs, they are likely to succumb to abscess and infections. If any of these conditions take place, it can be very uncomfortable and can harm your dentition. If you think you might have impediments with wisdom teeth, it is important to see a Derby dentist as soon as possible.


If you do need wisdom tooth removal, your dentist will determine how they will go about the removal to ensure everything goes smoothly. They will decide which of your wisdom teeth need to be removed and how complex it could get. They will also determine the appropriate type of anesthesia and the condition of your existing vital anatomy such as nerves. Once they ascertain these details, they can plan your wisdom teeth extraction more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate anesthesia, so you will not feel pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and monitor you the entire time to make sure you are doing well. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will receive post-surgery care instructions. Fortunately, there are many Derby dentists that accept patients without dental insurance and can adeptly pull your wisdom teeth.

It is crucial for kids to visit the dentist on a semiannual basis for exams and cleanings. By teaching kids 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 dentist in Derby who accepts private patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering biannual dental checkups and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your little one with sealants. These are small pieces of BPA-free acrylic that dentists paint onto their molars. They work as a protective film that forms a barrier between their molars and bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to 80%. 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 pediatric dentists provide. Fluoride is a natural 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. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using fluoride toothpaste can also help. To learn more, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our network dental professionals in Derby.

Many people would be elated to have a whiter smile. When you walk down the aisles of any drug store, you see countless products that tout their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide unsatisfying results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Derby, CO that takes patients without dental insurance, we can help you find one that offers professional whitening.

When you visit your Derby dental practice, they can provide you with either an in-office or at-home option. With the in-office option, you will typically be out within about an hour, and you will have noticeably whiter teeth. For this option, your dentist will apply a gel solution to your teeth that they will then activate with a special light, to remove stains.

If you would prefer to choose whitening from the comfort of your home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe bleaching solution. You will put these on for a couple of hours each day for about 2 weeks. Once this treatment is over, you will have a whiter smile. If you would like to book an appointment with a Derby dentist that accepts 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.
