Geriatric Dentistry

Geriatric dentistry, also known as senior dentistry, is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the oral health of older adults. As we age, our dental needs change, and geriatric dentists are specially trained to address these unique concerns and provide comprehensive dental care to seniors.

At Gracious Smiles, we offer a wide range of geriatric dental services, including:

Implants: Dental implants are a popular and effective tooth replacement option that can provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. An implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the root of the missing tooth. Once the implant is securely in place, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the implant to replace the visible portion of the tooth.

Complete Dentures: Are a type of dental prosthetic that are used to replace all of a patient’s missing teeth. At Gracious Smiles, we offer comprehensive denture services to help patients restore their smiles and improve their quality of life.

Removable Partial Denture : A removable partial denture (RPD) is a type of dental prosthesis that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. If you have a partial denture and need it removed, our dentists at Gracious Smiles can help.

Cast Partial Denture: A cast partial denture is a removable dental prosthesis that is used to replace missing teeth. It consists of a metal framework that is custom-made to fit around the remaining teeth in the mouth. The metal framework is then covered with a pink-colored acrylic material that mimics the appearance of gums. Artificial teeth are attached to the framework to replace the missing teeth. If you’re interested in getting a cast partial denture, we recommend scheduling a consultation with Gracious Smiles who can evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best treatment options for you.

Full mouth rehabilitation: It is a comprehensive and individualized treatment approach that is designed to address complex dental issues and restore the health, function, and appearance of a patient’s entire mouth. It typically involves a combination of restorative, cosmetic, and neuromuscular dental treatments.

An implant-supported prosthesis is a type of dental prosthesis that is secured in place using dental implants instead of relying on traditional adhesives or clasps. It can be used to replace a full arch of missing teeth or to stabilize a removable denture.

At Gracious Smiles, our geriatric dentistry services are designed to meet the unique oral health needs of older adults, providing compassionate care that enhances their overall health and quality of life.
