Geriatric Dentistry

Geriatric Dentistry

It is important to show some attention to your oral health if you want your teeth and gums to stay healthy in your later years. Elderly patients are more prone to gum disease, dental decay, oral cancer, mouth infections, and tooth loss. The good news is that these dental conditions can often be prevented.

At Advanced Dental, our multi-disciplinary team of dentists are experienced in treating and caring for elderly patients with underlying medical conditions.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone underneath your gums. A crown can then be placed on the implant.

As implants are fused to the jawbone, they are very stable and can feel almost identical to natural teeth.

At Advanced Dental, we provide a range of treatments such as:

• Implant Crown
• Implant Retained Dentures
• Implant Supported Dentures
• All-on-4® Treatment

Crowns and Bridges

Dental crowns can be thought of as a “cover” or a “cap” that provides full-coverage protection for a damaged tooth.

Dental bridges consist of two crowns that are fitted onto existing teeth adjacent to a space created by missing teeth. Artificial teeth connected between the crowns will “bridge” the gap.

At Advanced Dental, we provide a range of treatments such as:

• Full Metal Crown
• Full Porcelain Crown
• Porcelain-Metal (PFM) Crown
• Zirconia Crowns
• Dental Bridge

Pain Free Dentistry

For many, dental procedures have always been associated with pain. Pain is one of the main reasons why many patients avoid going to the dentist. At Advanced Dental, our dental experts are equipped to provide a pain-free experience with various anaesthetic options.
