Elderly Dental Care La Verne, CA
At Elevated Dentistry, we take pride in offering exceptional care for the entire family. This includes younger patients, but it also includes those who are advanced in age, even those who might have more limited mobility or who might require support from a full-time caretaker. It is our pleasure to offer elderly dental care, always emphasizing our high standards of comfort, safety, and professionalism.
What Is Elderly Dental Care?
People of all ages require routine dental care, but elderly patients often have acute needs and particular physical barriers. For example:
- Elderly patients often have physical ailments that inhibit their mobility, making it challenging for them to perform their typical oral hygiene routine.
- It is also common for patients of advanced age to have special needs, such as dementia, that some dental professionals are unprepared to accommodate.
- Due to mobility issues as well as a lower likelihood of being able to drive, elderly patients often do not see their dental professional as often as they should.
- Elderly patients may have underlying health problems that increase their risk of oral health complications, as well as surgical complications.
Due to these factors, elderly patients are more susceptible to periodontitis, tooth decay, and other oral health concerns.
Did You Know?
The role of elderly dental care is to address these concerns in a compassionate and effective way.
Local Anesthesia
For many patients, especially those whose surgical needs are more modest in scope, local anesthesia is sufficient for a comfortable experience.
Care that won’t break the bank
We’re committed to making care affordable and accessible. Our team is here to help you finance your same-day crown in a way that fits your lifestyle and budget.
IV Sedation
Some patients prefer to be “put under” for their procedure, something we can provide through IV sedation. This is an especially good option for those whose surgery will be more time-intensive.
Why Get a Dental Crown or Cap?
There are a number of reasons why you might need one of these restorative dentistry options. Crowns can be logical remedies for you if you have any of the following issues:
- Weak, cracked, or decaying teeth
- Teeth that have become severely worn down through everyday use
- Teeth that need large fillings and require some extra support
- Teeth that are oddly shaped or severely discolored
- Teeth that have been treated with a root canal
