Frequently Asked Questions


  • How often should seniors visit the dentist?

    Cosmetic dental implants are an excellent option for individuals with missing or damaged teeth who desire a natural-looking smile. A consultation with our dental team can determine if you're a candidate.

  • Can older adults still receive dental implants?

    Yes. Many healthy seniors are excellent candidates for dental implants. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your oral health and discuss the best tooth replacement options for your needs.

  • What causes dry mouth as we age?

    Dry mouth is commonly associated with certain medications and medical conditions. Reduced saliva can increase the risk of cavities, so regular dental visits become even more important.

  • Can dentures be adjusted if they become uncomfortable?

    Absolutely. Dentures may require adjustments over time as your mouth changes. Our team can evaluate the fit and discuss options to improve comfort and function.

  • Do you treat dental emergencies for seniors?

    Yes. If you're experiencing tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, or another urgent dental concern, contact our office as soon as possible so we can evaluate your situation.
