Dental needs change as we age. We provide care tailored to older adults, with time to listen and to explain things clearly.
Common concerns

- Decay on exposed root surfaces
- Gum disease and receding gums
- Worn teeth and old fillings that need repair
- Missing teeth, loose dentures, or interest in implants
- Difficulty brushing because of arthritis or limited movement
How we help
- Thorough exams, including oral cancer screening
- Cleanings and gum care, with fluoride to protect root surfaces
- Fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures and implants
- Advice on home care, such as electric brushes and easy-grip handles
- Fit checks and cleaning for dentures
