Caring for More Than Just Your Smile
Senior dental care isn’t just about cleanings and checkups. It’s about keeping you confident, comfortable, and supported in every aspect of your daily life.
As we age, medications, chronic health conditions, and natural changes in the body can increase the risk of gum disease, tooth loss, and dry mouth. That’s why having a trusted dental team that understands these challenges is key. Here's what you can expect during your vsisit:
- A calm, accessible environment designed with your comfort in mind
- Clear, step-by-step communication with no pressure or rush
- A preventive-first approach that helps you avoid unnecessary treatments
- Functional care that supports speaking, eating, and everyday comfort
We believe dentistry for seniors should never feel overwhelming or impersonal. Instead, it should be part of a bigger picture—helping you enjoy life with the confidence that your health and happiness are being looked after.
Services Tailored for Seniors
We offer a full range of general and restorative dental services specifically suited for seniors in the Cheyenne area. Whether you need routine preventive care or more complex treatment, you’ll find thoughtful options at every stage.
- Preventive and Routine Care — Keeping up with regular cleanings and exams is the best way to avoid more significant problems down the road. Our hygienists are trained to detect early signs of gum disease, oral cancer, and tooth wear. Seniors also face an increased risk of cavities due to dry mouth and gum recession, which we monitor carefully.
- Restorative Options — From durable, tooth-colored fillings to custom crowns and bridges, our restorations are designed to improve comfort, function, and long-term results. We also work with patients who may have older dental work in need of updating or replacement.
- Full and Partial Dentures — We provide custom-fit dentures, including partials and implant-supported options, for those who have experienced tooth loss. Our goal is to restore chewing function and facial support, all while creating a natural-looking smile.
- Gum Disease Management — Gum health is a foundational part of senior care. We use gentle techniques to manage periodontitis and gingivitis, helping to reduce inflammation and protect the bone structures that support your teeth.
- Solutions for Dry Mouth — Dry mouth is a common side effect of many medications and can lead to tooth decay and discomfort. We provide targeted strategies to manage this condition, including saliva substitutes, fluoride treatments, and product recommendations.
Your smile is our smile!™
