Routine Check-Ups
Regular dental check-ups remain important as a person ages. At East Bentleigh Dental Group, we recommend check-ups every 6 months to monitor oral health and catch any developing dental issues early.
Dentures
Dentures can be an excellent solution for older patients to regain the function and appearance of their smile after tooth loss. They are more comfortable and durable than ever before and can be designed to suit your individual lifestyle.
Dental Implants
By forming a permanent foundation for crowns and dentures, dental implants for seniors can restore an individual’s ability to eat, speak and smile confidently. Your dentist at East Bentleigh Dental Group can help you determine your suitability for dental implants and advise you on what type of implant may be best suited to your needs.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
With more than 30% of people over the age of 50 experiencing advanced gum disease, reducing the health risks associated with the disease and effectively treating it are essential to protecting the health of our patients. Our dentists are committed to ensuring optimal oral health for seniors to minimise more serious problems.
Oral Cancer
Seniors should continue to visit their dentist at EBDG every six months even if they have experienced complete tooth loss. Checking for early signs of oral cancer can mean a greater chance of survival for those affected and ensure better overall oral health for seniors.
