If you’ve been searching for a compassionate Sacramento dentist who understands the unique needs of senior patients, you’re in the right place.
Why Senior Dentistry Matters
Oral health is closely linked to overall health — and that connection becomes even more important as we age. Conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis can affect your teeth and gums, and vice versa. In addition, many seniors take medications that can cause dry mouth, which increases the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Senior dentistry is about more than just routine cleanings. It’s about taking a proactive, gentle approach to dental care that accounts for your medical history, medications, lifestyle, and dental goals. Our team at Adams Dental Associates is experienced in working with older adults and is always ready to answer questions, explain treatment options, and make each visit as comfortable and convenient as possible.
Common Dental Concerns for Seniors
Senior patients often face specific dental challenges that require extra attention and care. These may include:
- Tooth loss: Whether due to gum disease, decay, or aging dental work, missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile.
- Gum disease: Periodontal issues are common in older adults and can lead to tooth loss if not properly managed.
- Dry mouth: Often caused by medications, dry mouth increases the risk of cavities and discomfort.
- Worn fillings or crowns: Older dental restorations may begin to fail and need to be repaired or replaced.
- Ill-fitting dentures: Changes in gum and bone structure over time can cause dentures to become loose or uncomfortable.
At Adams Dental Associates, we offer a wide range of senior dentistry solutions to address these concerns and restore comfort, function, and confidence.
Our Senior Dentistry Services
We’re proud to provide comprehensive care tailored to seniors. Some of the most common treatments we offer for older adults include:
- Full & Partial Dentures: If you’re missing several or all of your teeth, custom dentures can restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with ease. We provide both full and partial dentures that are designed for a comfortable, secure fit and natural appearance. We also offer adjustments and repairs to improve the function of existing dentures.
- Dental Implants: For seniors who want a more permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants may be an ideal option. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth and can support single crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Our experienced team provides both preventive and therapeutic care to help manage and treat gum disease. This may include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), regular periodontal maintenance, and oral hygiene tips tailored to your needs.
- Restorative Dentistry: We offer crowns, bridges, and tooth-colored fillings to repair damaged teeth and restore your bite. Our materials are durable, natural-looking, and designed with comfort in mind.
- Preventive Care & Dental Cleanings: Routine checkups and professional cleanings are the foundation of oral health at any age. For seniors, regular visits help us monitor for early signs of problems and provide guidance on how to maintain oral hygiene between appointments.
A Gentle and Supportive Approach
We understand that seniors may face physical limitations, dental anxiety, or transportation challenges that make dental visits feel stressful. That’s why we do everything we can to make your experience easier, more comfortable, and more relaxed. Whether it’s adjusting appointment times, using gentle techniques, or walking you through every step of treatment, we treat every patient with kindness, respect, and patience.
If you or a loved one has special health considerations, our Sacramento dental team is happy to coordinate care and adapt treatments accordingly.
