SENIOR DENTISTRY
When it comes to dentistry, we treat any patients over the age of 65 with special consideration.
Dentures
Teeth make it possible to talk, eat and smile with confidence. At some stage in life it might be necessary to replace teeth with partial or complete dentures, which can be uncomfortable at first.
Over time, as the shape of your face and jaw changes, your dentures become even less comfortable and less suited to the shape of your mouth. This makes it important to visit your dentist on a regualr basis to check whether any adjustments may be necessary. With the many advances in materials and techniques used to make dentures, it is possible for us to fit dentures that are comfortable and functional at the same time.

Deflex® plates
Made in our own dental laboratory, flexible Deflex® dentures are beautiful, functional and comfortable. Whether you need a removable partial denture, or a fixed denture, Deflex® moves with you naturally, giving you confidence while talking, eating or most importantly, smiling!
Deflex® has the benefit of being much less invasive than doing bridges and implant treatment. You will not need anesthetic or be required to have any work done to your existing teeth – as with an implant or bridge. While the innovative materials used mean that it does cost more than a traditional removable metal denture, compared to other treatments for a missing tooth, it is very cost effective.

FAQs
I've taken good care of my teeth my entire adult life. Why do I need to change the way my teeth are looked after?
As the body ages, so do teeth. Acid erosion and mechanical wear and tear take its toll over decades. Although teeth do not become brittle with age, over time the erosion and wear and tear can wear down the biting surfaces of teeth, making them more susceptible to decay.
Can you take care of all my dental needs, or do I have to visit a specialist as well?
Whether a patient needs false teeth or the replacement of a single tooth or multiple missing teeth, we provide dentistry for all aspects of aging teeth.
Our oral hygiene program helps and teaches you to take good care of your teeth so that you will literally have them forever.
