Comprehensive Health Assessment
Senior dental care begins with thorough evaluation of oral health status, medical history, and medication effects. This assessment considers age-related changes and health conditions that may affect dental treatment planning and outcomes.

Ongoing Maintenance
Regular monitoring and preventive care help seniors maintain oral health while addressing age-related changes promptly. This proactive approach prevents minor issues from becoming major problems requiring extensive treatment.
Dry Mouth Management: Age-related dry mouth from medications or health conditions increases cavity risk and affects oral comfort. We provide comprehensive dry mouth management including saliva substitutes, fluoride treatments, and dietary recommendations to maintain oral health.
