INSURANCE BENEFITS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU DON’T USE IT, YOU LOSE IT! 
At Dearborn Family Smiles, we understand that a healthy smile not only benefits a patient’s overall well-being, but it’s vital to their smiling and speaking confidence, nutritional intake, and more.
If you or someone you love has been experiencing dental challenges as a result of the aging process, we have a number of tailored services that can help!
What Are Some Common Services We Provide To Senior Patients?
Fillings: When a patient experiences tooth decay, it’s vital that they receive a filling to both remove harmful decay and ensure that the tooth is protected from further harm.
Root Canal Therapy: A restorative procedure that helps save a tooth that would otherwise be lost, this service eradicates the pain and infection caused by an inflamed or infected tooth.
Full & Partial Dentures: Often the choice for senior patients missing several teeth or entire arches, full or partial dentures restore smiles and renew confidence. Full dentures can be an ideal choice when a patient has lost all their teeth in their upper or lower jaw while partial dentures fill in gaps left by one or more missing teeth.
Porcelain Veneers: Thin, tailor-made shells that strategically cover smile imperfections, veneers help update the size, shape, and color of teeth, bringing new life to a worn smile.
Smile Makeovers: One or more services that work to update the look and function of a patient’s smile, smile makeovers provide a tailored rejuvenation that restores smiles.
Teeth Whitening: Time, food, and lifestyle choices can dull smiles. Teeth whitening can remove discoloration, brightening teeth by several shades.
Dental Implants: This restorative serviceis another effective solution for one or more missing teeth. The implant mimics your natural tooth in both function and esthetics to offer stability and counteract bone loss that can arise when a tooth is removed but not replaced.
How Can Seniors Maintain Healthy Smiles On A Daily Basis?
The best defence is a good offence! Seniors need to brush twice and floss once daily, stay hydrated to avoid dry mouth and the issues it can cause (including cavities), and eat a balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and lean proteins. Regular exercise is also vital for bone, cardiovascular, and cognitive health, which all play a role in oral well-being.
At every stage of life, it’s vital that patients prioritize having their smiles professionally cared for with regular cleanings and checkups. Should restorative care be needed, it’s important to quickly receive these services to prevent further complications from developing.
