Our Senior Dental Services

Regular Dental Check-Ups

Routine visits remain essential as we grow older. We recommend seniors attend check-ups every six months to monitor for issues such as decay, gum disease, or oral cancers that become more common with age.

Dentures

Custom-fitted full or partial dentures are a great option for seniors who’ve experienced tooth loss. Modern dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking, and functional than ever before, helping you smile and eat with confidence.

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a stable, long-term solution for missing teeth. Ideal for those seeking to restore function without relying on removable appliances, implants support crowns, bridges or dentures and offer a permanent base for natural-feeling teeth.

Gum Disease (Periodontitis) Treatment

Gum health becomes increasingly important with age. We treat and manage periodontal disease with a focus on preserving gum tissue, preventing tooth loss, and reducing risks linked to systemic health conditions.

Tips for Maintaining Oral Health in Later Life

Maintaining a clean, healthy mouth as you age takes a bit of extra care. Here are some key tips for seniors:

• Brush gently twice a day using fluoride toothpaste and a soft toothbrush
  
  
• Floss daily or use interdental brushes to prevent plaque buildup
  
  
• Stay well-hydrated to combat dry mouth, which can raise cavity risk
  
  
• Eat a nutrient-rich diet to support gum and bone health
  
  
• Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol to reduce your risk of oral disease
  
  
• Use an antibacterial rinse to help control bacteria and freshen breath
  
  
• Talk to us about bruxism if you grind your teeth at night—we can provide custom splints to protect your teeth
  
  

The Power of Prevention in Senior Dental Health

Preventative care helps seniors avoid complex dental procedures down the track. Regular check-ups, professional cleans, fluoride treatments, and early diagnosis of conditions like gum disease or oral cancer all contribute to a healthier mouth and better overall wellbeing. Investing in routine care now means fewer complications in the future.
