Age-Specific Dental Care

Our office provides dental care for all ages. The dental problems that impact toddlers aren’t the same ones that impact adults and seniors. We tailor our care to focus on prevention and care of the issues that your age group is most susceptible to.

For toddlers, tooth decay is what they face the most. Their diets are higher in sugar, and they aren’t as diligent when brushing their teeth. We teach them the best ways to brush and floss their teeth while trying to make dental care fun! Dental sealants are a precaution to take as well. We paint this material on the teeth that are most prone to tooth decay. It provides an extra layer of protection against bacteria.

As children grow up into teens and young adults, wisdom teeth begin to erupt. Our jaws typically don’t have enough space for this set of molars. Usually, they cause more harm than good. They can get impacted, causing pain and infection. If left to erupt, they cause a cramped smile and can undo the impacts of teeth straightening treatment.

As we age, our teeth take on the years like the rest of our bodies. As seniors, we’re more likely to lose teeth. Our office offers multiple solutions for tooth replacement. The most recommended is dental implants. They’re the only solution that replaces the tooth root and crown. You get back 100% of your bite function.

A Versatile Dental Tool

Dental crowns are the unsung heroes in a dentist’s toolbox. They treat so many issues, both cosmetic and restorative. Cosmetically, they treat discolored teeth that don’t respond to traditional whitening techniques. If you have a misshapen tooth, a crown completely covers it, restoring the look and function.

Crowns allow us to preserve natural tooth structure and avoid a full extraction. They can hold together teeth that are extremely damaged or decayed. Crowns also stabilize a tooth after a root canal. Though the dentist fills the tooth’s interior and seals it off, it may not be back at its full capability. A crown provides this structure and seals the tooth from further decay.

Dental crowns are the choice restoration to complete a dental implant. Every crown is custom-made, allowing it to blend perfectly with your smile. They also help support natural teeth that anchor a dental bridge. Teeth that support a dental bridge wear down faster and are more susceptible to decay and damage. A crown takes on the stress from the bridge and protects the natural tooth structure.
