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.

This could include dental misalignment, or for teens, the arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to request an online appointment a pediatric dental professional in Idaho Springs, CO with experience treating smiles of all ages, then Doctors Network is able to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and continue every six months. These visits enable your Idaho Springs pediatric dentist to monitor smiles as they grow, and if areas of concern develop, such as dental cavities, or gingivitis, then treatment might be required. In addition, kids can often receive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth decay. Dental sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, this layer of acrylic can provide protection against tooth cavities for as long as a decade in some cases.


If you are searching for family dentists in Idaho Springs who can treat your entire family, let us know. We want to help you find a dentist in your area. With routine care kids not only enjoy healthy smiles, but they also learn the importance of caring for their smiles. These visits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy gums and teeth. All of it starts with that first checkup and cleaning. So, use our search tool to find the right practice for you and your family!

If you have a toothache, or a tooth that is broken or cracked, you need dental care. Otherwise, the tooth could develop a decay and infections. Soon, there is a risk of not only missing teeth, but a spread of infection to other teeth. But sometimes, the issue is beyond the stage to be treated with a tooth filling. Instead, the tooth could require an extraction. At Doctors Network, our team can help you find a quality dentist or oral surgeon in Idaho Springs, CO who can offer a safe tooth removal 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 restore overall 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 Idaho Springs general dentist could use this to improve the health, function, and surprisingly, sometimes the appearance of your smile.


Now that you understand when a tooth may need to be taken out, how do you seek care for one? Well, as mentioned above Doctors Network can locate a dentist in the Idaho Springs, 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 reduce the cost of care by up to 90%!

You probably know a lot of people who have had their wisdom teeth removed and are eager to describe their story to you. While this can be helpful, it is still crucial to consult with a dentist or an oral surgeon. If you need these teeth removed, it is important to have a wide range of information at your disposal. This will help you understand what to expect from wisdom teeth removal and what you should look for in a dentist. Luckily, Doctors Network can help you connect with a great oral surgeon near you in Idaho Springs, CO that accepts private patients.


The third molars are in the back of your mouth, and there are two on the top and two on the bottom. They usually appear between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five. Because they come in later than the rest of your teeth, their arrival can cause problems with your existing ones. They can erupt at unusual directions, only partially erupt, or overcrowd your already-established teeth. When this happens, they are likely to succumb to bacteria and infections. If any of these situations happen, it can be very painful and can damage your existing teeth. If you think you might have issues with wisdom teeth eruption, it is important to see a Idaho Springs oral surgery practice hastily.


If you in fact need wisdom tooth removal, your doctor will determine how they will go about the procedure to ensure everything goes according to the plan. 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 sedation and the state of your existing teeth and nerve. Once they ascertain these details, they can extract your wisdom teeth more easily. When you come in for the procedure, you will receive the appropriate sedation option, so you will not feel pain. Your dentist will extract your teeth and pay attention to your needs the entire time to make sure you are ok. Once your wisdom teeth are removed, you will be provided with information about the recovery period. Fortunately, there are many Idaho Springs dentists that accept private patients and can adeptly remove your wisdom teeth.

It is imperative for children to visit a dental professional on a biannual basis for dental visits 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 many years. If you are looking for a dentist in Idaho Springs who takes private patients, you are on the right website.


In addition to offering examinations and cleanings, dentists on Doctors Network also provide your kid 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 germs. This ultimately prevents the risk of decay by up to 80%. It is a simple tool 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 teeth. While enamel is one of the most protective substances our bodies produce, it can still weaken over time. When this occurs, your child’s teeth become more susceptible to cavities. Fluoride treatment helps stop decay from occurring. Using high-fluoride toothpaste can also help. For more information, we invite you to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric dentists in Idaho Springs.

Many folks would prefer to have a whiter smile. When you stroll down the aisles of any grocery store, you see myriad products that advertise their teeth whitening abilities. If you have purchased any of these, you know that they almost always provide lackluster results. However, professional teeth whitening can actually give you a brighter smile. If you are looking for a dentist in Idaho Springs, CO that takes parivate patients, we can help you find one that offers professional tooth whitening.

When you visit your Idaho Springs dentist, they can provide you with either an in-office or even at-home treatment 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 at home, your dentist will give you a set of custom trays that you can fill up with a safe bleaching solution. You will wear these for a couple of hours each day for about two weeks. Once this treatment is complete, you will have a whiter and brighter smile. If you would like to request a consultation online with a Idaho Springs dentist that takes parivate patients, we can help you find a fantastic one.

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.
