Senior Dentistry

Our approach to senior dentistry encompasses a wide range of treatments and personalized care plans to support your oral well-being:

• Routine Check-ups and Cleanings: Essential for preventive care, these regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health, identify potential issues early, and provide professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

• Gum Disease Management: Older adults are often more susceptible to gum disease (periodontal disease). We provide thorough diagnosis and effective treatments, including advanced laser gum treatment, to manage and combat gum infections, preserving tooth stability.

• Restorative Procedures: Addressing common age-related issues such as worn teeth, cavities, and failing restorations. We offer durable solutions including:

  • Dental Crowns: To restore strength and aesthetics to damaged or weakened teeth.

  • Dental Fillings (including Inlays/Onlays): To repair cavities effectively while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

  • Dental Bridges: To replace one or more missing teeth, restoring function and appearance.

  • Dental Restorations of all types to maintain integrity and comfort.

• Solutions for Tooth Loss: If you’re experiencing tooth loss, we offer highly effective teeth replacement options to restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently:

  • Dental Implants: The gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a permanent, stable, and natural-feeling solution for single or multiple missing teeth. Dr. Zuckerman is an experienced implant dentist.

  • Implant-Supported Dentures: Providing superior stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.

  • Traditional Dentures (Full and Partial): Custom-designed for optimal fit, comfort, and aesthetics.

• Addressing Age-Related Conditions: We take into consideration the effects of aging on your oral health, including:

  • Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Managing this common condition that can increase cavity risk and discomfort.

  • Tooth Sensitivity: Identifying causes and providing solutions for sensitive teeth.

  • Medication Side Effects: Adapting dental care to account for systemic health conditions and medications.

• Cosmetic Enhancements: It’s never too late to enhance your smile! We offer cosmetic dentistry options like teeth whitening and porcelain veneers to help you achieve a brighter, more youthful smile that matches your vitality.
