As children, we lose our baby teeth as our smile develops. However, in adulthood, losing teeth means poor oral health. The advanced stage of gum disease could be responsible as well. Since losing teeth at adulthood isn’t natural, this means problems. You could have difficulties eating. Problems talking clearly may develop. Finally, you could risk negative changes to your smile alignment, or even smile’s stability. You need a skilled United Healthcare dentist in Crested Butte, CO who can replace missing teeth. Fortunately, Doctors Network can help find a local dentist.


First, we will connect you to an experienced dentist in your area. After that, your new dentist can evaluate your smile to understand the factors behind your tooth loss. For minor cases, a dental bridge could be placed, addressing one to three missing teeth in a row. For several gaps, partial dentures could offer a solution and address complicated tooth loss. Finally, a complete denture or CD could be crafted and secured. While most fulls and partial dentures are removable, they could be secured with multiple dental implants. Dental implants essentially look and function like natural teeth, and preserve bone density in your mandible and maxilla and facial structure following losing a tooth.


If you live in the Crested Butte‘s proximity and have lost your natural teeth, let us know. We can help you get started on receiving a dental prosthetic. A full smile 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.

Nothing feels better than a full smile, but as we get older, many of us struggle with missing teeth. Missing teeth could lead to difficulty with eating and speaking, and can even lead to an older appearance. 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 inserted 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 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 near you in Crested Butte, you are not alone, but firstly, you should find a Crested Butte dentist who can offer prosthetic dentistry. Doctors Network can help you with this, connecting you to a dental office who not only can address your concerns about missing teeth, but also takes United Healthcare. You can even sign up for a Doctors Network membership plan to decrease the cost of your treatment.


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

A lot happens to our smile when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with consuming solid 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 limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could help you book an online appointment with a local Crested Butte dentist who is in-network with United Healthcare and performs this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership plan 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 sourced from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as freeze-dried bovine bone particles could also be used. Others recommend synthetic materials. During oral surgery, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the mandible bone.


Once the area heals, the dental implants could be placed. The body will see them as natural structures. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, preserving your smile. Our team can connect you to a dentist in Crested Butte, CO who performs jawbone grafting, and also let you know about our dental discount plan to make sure your care fits your budget!

Tooth loss could lead to multiple complications for your smile. For example, this could impact your nutritional intake, or how clearly you can speak. But the most severe complication is the break down of structure in the jaw. The body suspends the flow of calcium and phosphate 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 Crested Butte, CO who can strengthen your smile.


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 jaw? Instead of adding new tissue, your Crested Butte dentist could perform a sinus lift. Essentially, the dentist will raise the sinus floor to generate new tissues. The new structure can support dental implants. Once the new teeth are secured, this stimulates the growth of bone tissue to prevent further breakdowns. Your new teeth then stay in place for years, possibly even a lifetime.


If you need to strengthen your weakened maxillary jawbone to support a new smile, we could help. Our team can connect you with a Crested Butte, CO dentist who can address tooth loss and takes United Healthcare. When your smile is strengthened and ready, dental implants could provide a full smile again. If you don’t have insurance, don’t let this stand between you and optimal oral health. Instead, talk to our team about our Direct Dental Plan. With a monthly membership fee, you can have treatments discounted by as much as 90% in some situations. A full smile is in your future!

Have you lost the majority of your natural teeth? If so, this could mean poor oral health, from trouble chewing a variety of foods, to difficulties with clear speech. Your jaw loses density and mass following tooth loss, which could lead to further tooth loss. In some cases, a prematurely aged appearance could develop as well. You could benefit from implant dentures not only to replace missing teeth, but also to preserve your facial structures. But what if your jaw is too weak for a set of implant-secured dentures? Then Doctors Network can recommend a Crested Butte prosthodontist who provides unique implant dentures.


Most fixed dentures need between six and eight dental 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 dental restorations. No need to undergo ridge augmentation beforehand! These can also often be placed with a full set of dentures 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 United Healthcare dentists in Crested Butte who can provide you with a new smile. You can even book an online dental appointment.


If you have a limited budget, then consider getting our Direct Dental Plan. Our membership program allows you to pay a small monthly fee, which is set by your dentist, to save significantly on prosthetic dentistry. This helps our Crested Butte patients find affordable dental care, and smile with confidence once again.

Do you have a missing tooth? Or, have you developed several gaps in your smile? If so, this could mean major oral health complications.

To safeguard the health, function, and beauty of your smile, you need help from a good dentist nearby Crested Butte, and we can help you find local dental practices that accept United Healthcare!


What happens when you lose your teeth? Well, the surrounding teeth could shift, causing dental misalignment. 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 eating your favorite foods, and speaking clearly could be difficult too. But the most severe complication is the break down of the jawbone structure. This means the stability of your smile is compromised. In addition, a prematurely aged appearance could arise! But help is available, as Crested Butte dental professionals could discuss advanced prosthetics, such as teeth implants and bridges, and select treatment options that could be covered with United Healthcare.


Fixed partial dentures could replace one to three missing teeth in a row. All on four dental implants could treat more severe cases with full and partial options.

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.
