As adolescents, we lose our primary teeth as a natural part of growing up. However, as adults, losing teeth is often due to injury. Gum disease leads to major tooth loss. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means oral health complications. You could have problems consuming solid foods. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk impacting your smile alignment, or even your facial structure. You need a new United Healthcare dentist in Merino, CO who can provide prosthetic dentistry. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help you on the road to a full smile.


First, we will help connect you to a dedicated dentist in your location who accepts your insurance. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to assess your missing teeth. For mild cases, a dental bridge could be the best option, providing lifelike results. For several missing teeth, partials could offer a solution and restore bite function. Finally, a complete set of dentures could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partials are removable, they could be supported with tooth implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and prevent negative changes to your jawbones and facial structure following tooth loss.


If you live in the Merino area 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 lost all of your teeth, and even if many years have gone by since that happened!


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

You can’t put a price on showing off a perfect smile, but as we age, most of us struggle with tooth loss. Missing teeth could lead to trouble with eating and speaking, and can even lead to bone loss in the jaw. To treat tooth loss, people often turn to implants and fixed dentures. Unlike traditional prosthetics, such as dentures or bridges, these are connected to posts placed into your jaw. Crowns or even prosthetics like bridges are securely attached to 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 and attention.


Are you ready to tackle your tooth loss with dental implants? If you are wondering how much a dental implant costs near Merino, you are not alone, but first, you should find a Merino dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network’s search tool can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also accepts United Healthcare. You can even register for a Doctors Network dental plan to decrease the cost of your procedure.


The dentist will take a close look at your smile. Underlying issues like gum disease may need to be treated before moving forward. But once completed, your dental implants will offer new teeth that look and function like natural dentition!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite 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 an older 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 link you to a local Merino oral surgeon who is in-network with United Healthcare and performs jawbone grafting. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan to make care affordable!


Ridge preservation 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. We could take tissue from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible.


Once the area heals, one or more 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 Merino, CO who offers ridge augmentation, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to major issues for your smile. For example, this could impact how easily you eat your favorite foods, or how clearly you can talk. But the most serious complication is the loss of mass and density in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals to the areas without tooth roots, which in turn causes bone loss and the loss of youthful facial structure and weakens the structure significantly. Which means you may not be able to receive dental implants to address gaps in your smile. But Doctors Network can connect you with a dentist in Merino, CO who can shore up your jaw.


As discussed in previous posts, a bone grafting procedure helps strengthen the lower jaw, so it can support dental implants. But what about the upper arch? Instead of grafting, your Merino dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new support structure. 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 can then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened upper jawbone to support one or more dental implants, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Merino, CO oral surgeon who can provide these services and takes United Healthcare. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a whole smile again. If you don’t have 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 is possible again!

Do you have A Loose Tooth? Or, have you suffered having multiple missing teeth in your smile? 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 missing teeth, you need help from a good dental practice in Merino, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept United Healthcare!


What happens when natural teeth are lost? Well, the surrounding teeth could drift from position, leading to crooked or crowded teeth. The pressure on your TMJ and bite balance could lead to painful complications, like jaw joint strain and chronic teeth grinding. You could have difficulty enjoying a variety of meal options, and speaking clearly could be complicated too. But the most severe complication is the the weakening of the jaw. This means you risk the loss of even more teeth. In addition, facial structure changes could make you appear older! But help is available, as Merino dentists or prosthodontists could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as bridges, dentures, and implants, and select treatment options that could be covered with United Healthcare.


Fixed partial dentures could address minor tooth loss. Dentures could replace the majority or all of your natural teeth. For the most lifelike and durable option, you could find the best Merino dentists who perform teeth implants. Do not let tooth loss impact your quality of life, and talk to our team about finding a prosthodontist!

It is imperative for children to visit the dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings. By teaching your children how to take care of their teeth, you are ensuring that they have the knowledge to have healthy smiles for ever. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist in Merino who accepts United Healthcare, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, pediatric dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kids with protective 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 adult teeth and harmful bacteria. This ultimately prevents the risk of cavities by up to eighty percent. It is a simple procedure that is very effective at preventing cavities on adult teeth in the future.


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

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.
