Dentistry for Seniors

The dental needs of the elderly are changing and growing. The management of older patients requires not only an understanding of the medical and dental aspects of aging, but also of many other factors such as ambulation, independent living, socialization, and sensory function.

These aging boomers however have a very different attitude towards dentistry than did their predecessors. They no longer consider tooth loss an inevitable consequence of aging and our dental team is trained to meet their unique needs. Providing quality dental care for these patients can be very rewarding but also very challenging due to an array of complex dental and medical conditions that become more common as we age.

• Severe dental complexity
• Multiple medical conditions
• Diminished functional status
• Loss of independence
• Uninformed attitudes about dental care in old age

We allocate special time for our elderly patients providing them with the empathy and care to quell their anxiety and fear. With our experience in the field of geriatric dentistry, we are highly qualified to attend to their dental and emotional needs.
