Dental care for older adults

Dental care for older adults starts with understanding your needs. Explore the information below, then talk with our team about your questions, your options, and what to expect.

Dentistry for Seniors

Keep smiling for decades

Older adults face a specific set of dental concerns: dry mouth from medications, root decay, gum recession, worn or missing teeth, and dentures that no longer fit well. Left alone, these affect nutrition, speech, and overall health.

Our team plans treatment around your medical history and medications, keeps appointments comfortable, and offers sedation for patients who need it. From a well-fitting denture to implant-supported teeth, we focus on restoring function first and confidence with it.

Questions

Dentistry for Seniors FAQ

Do you accept Medicare or Medicaid dental plans?

We work with many Medicare Advantage and Medicaid dental plans. Call our front desk with your plan name and we will confirm your coverage before your visit.

Am I too old for dental implants?

Almost never. Healthy bone and overall health matter more than age. We evaluate with 3D imaging and tell you plainly whether implants are a good option for you.

My dentures slip. What can be done?

A reline or a new denture often solves it. For a denture that stays firmly in place, two to four implants can anchor it — a popular option for patients tired of adhesives.
