I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time.

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentistry for Seniors

What dental problems are most common in seniors? 

Older adults face a higher risk of gum disease, tooth decay, dry mouth, tooth loss, and worn enamel than younger people. Years of use, medications that reduce saliva flow, and changes in overall health all contribute to these concerns. Regular dental visits help catch and address these issues before they develop into more serious problems.

Can seniors get dental implants? 

Seniors in good overall health with adequate jawbone density are strong candidates for dental implants. Age alone does not disqualify you from this treatment. A thorough evaluation helps your dentist assess your bone health and determine whether implants or an alternative tooth replacement option will best fit your needs and long-term goals.

What is the best way to replace missing teeth as a senior? 

The best tooth replacement option for seniors depends on your oral health, bone density, and personal preferences. Dental implants offer a stable, long-lasting result that preserves your jawbone. Dentures provide a more accessible option when implants are not feasible. Your dentist can explain the differences and help you choose the approach that fits your situation.

How does gum disease affect seniors differently? 

Gum disease tends to progress more aggressively in older adults, partly due to changes in immune response and the effects of certain medications. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. It has also been linked to broader health concerns, including heart disease and diabetes. Early treatment and consistent oral hygiene habits significantly reduce these risks.

What cosmetic dental treatments are available for seniors?

Seniors have access to a full range of cosmetic treatments, including teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers that address multiple concerns. Facial rejuvenation treatments are also available to complement your smile and help you look and feel your best. A consultation helps identify which options align with your goals and overall oral health.
