Senior Dentistry

Aging can make gums recede. Sensitive root material is more sensitive to cold and abrasion. Periodontal problems are also very prevalent.
Dry mouth can also cause root cavities, leading to increased tooth sensitivity.​ An aging mouth, with the addition of medications many seniors take, dries up the glands and makes teeth more prone to decay.  Other treatments some seniors receive, such as radiation and chemo, can also damage gums and teeth.

Dr. Kaushesh has researched and developed techniques to protect root surfaces and make them less sensitive.  He also has the ability to fabricate new, enamel like coverings around your teeth to make them fortified and protected.

Are you ashamed when you are with your loved one? Afraid to smile? Do you have to cut up food into smaller pieces?  Are you avoiding social situations? Do you have to hide your teeth in family pictures?

Dentures were invented more than 200 years ago.  In this day and age, nobody should have to go through loose dentures, and clicking teeth.  As long as you have bone left in your jaws, dentures can be secured as well as teeth in your mouth.

Bone dissolves away simply by not having teeth in the bones anymore. Dental Implants not only save bone, but they also help you chew better and have more confidence. The cost and treatment time for Dental Implants have significantly reduced..

Dental Implants add to your health by giving you a chance to eat nutritious foods and enjoy your time with your loved ones. They help restore and rehabilitate your smile, lips and face.  Properly made implant dentures also reduce wrinkles around the mouth.
