At Great Basin Dental, we understand that as you get older, your dental needs change. Our family dentistry services focus on helping adults maintain healthy teeth and gums through every stage of life. From routine checkups to more advanced treatments, we’re here to provide personalized care for aging teeth and ensure that you enjoy a strong, healthy smile for years to come.
Why Oral Health Changes with Age
As we age, our teeth and gums undergo natural changes that can affect our oral health. Enamel, the protective outer layer of the teeth, wears down over time, making teeth more vulnerable to decay and damage. Gums can also begin to recede, exposing the roots of teeth and leading to increased sensitivity. Many adults also experience dry mouth due to medications or changes in health, which can make teeth more prone to cavities.
These changes mean that taking care of your teeth as you age is more important than ever. At Great Basin Dental, we offer comprehensive family dentistry services to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy, no matter your age.
Routine Care for Adults
One of the best ways to protect your oral health as you get older is to maintain regular dental checkups. During your visit, we thoroughly clean your teeth, check for signs of decay or gum disease, and look for any potential problems before they become serious. Routine exams allow us to catch issues early, helping to prevent more extensive and costly treatments down the road.
We also provide customized advice on how to care for your teeth at home. As your oral health changes, your home care routine may need to be adjusted. Whether it’s switching to toothpaste for sensitive teeth or using mouthwash to fight dry mouth, our team is here to guide you on the best ways to protect your smile.
Restorative Treatments for Aging Teeth
Even with the best care, it’s common for adults to need restorative dental treatments as they age. Whether it’s repairing a damaged tooth or replacing a missing one, we offer a range of restorative options designed to bring back the function and appearance of your teeth.
For adults with worn or cracked teeth, we provide solutions like crowns, bridges, and bonding to restore strength and prevent further damage. If you’ve lost a tooth, we offer dental implants and dentures to help restore your smile and improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably. Our team is dedicated to providing durable, natural-looking restorations that enhance your quality of life.
