Dentistry for Seniors

As you age, your dental needs change. Yet, every smile is distinctive and requires a customized approach to care. Our dentists in Lodi and Elk Grove, CA, provide personalized dentistry for all ages and understand the unique challenges patients face along life’s journey.

Your Comfort Is Always a Priority

One of our top priorities is establishing a comfortable treatment environment. This may include relaxing with one of our cozy blankets and neck pillows and enjoying aromatherapy. You can also tune into favorite programs on television while we see to your oral health. We offer televisions in our treatment rooms.

Our team also has nitrous oxide on hand, a safe and mild gas that aids relaxation. And we can provide more potent dental sedation if necessary to ensure a comfortable experience.

Finally, we set aside time to discuss findings with you following checkups and dental procedures. And we’re always happy to answer questions. We want you to feel comfortable with our team and comfortable speaking freely.

While every patient’s oral health needs vary—no matter their age—you may face issues common to your demographic. For example, arthritis and joint-related issues can make oral hygiene challenging.

Other potential concerns may include the following:

• Dry mouth — natural as we age or resulting from specific medications
• Gingivitis and periodontal disease — common in many age groups
• Loose or ill-fitting prosthetics — common due to bone loss in the jaw

Our dentists can address these issues and more, providing solutions to keep your smile healthier for longer.

Your Elk Grove or Lodi dentist can offer tips to help reverse dry mouth, eradicate gingivitis, treat periodontal disease, and repair or replace ill-fitting prosthetics like dentures or partials. We even provide implant-supported dentures (fixed prosthetics that don’t shift or slip). Like the All-on-4® treatment concept, four to six implants are typically all it takes!

Periodontal disease (gum disease) is especially concerning because studies now associate it with systemic health issues like rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of dementia, and heart health issues. Today, we know that gum disease is about more than potential tooth loss.

Fortunately, we can treat gum disease and even prevent it. The first step is establishing regular dental care, which means visiting our dental office twice yearly for checkups with the dentist.

Our dental services also include the following:

• Dental checkups
• Teeth cleanings
• Cosmetic dentistry
• Tooth replacement
• Implant dentistry
• Crowns and bridges
• Restorative dentistry
• Emergency dentistry
• And more…
