Senior Dental Care in Richardson, TX

Geriatric Dentistry

While there is no standard term for geriatric dentistry, prosthodontists such as Dr. Roe are the most skilled dentists and can work with unique health concerns and provide extra attention.

Senior dental care is unique to every patient. Many factors come into play with oral care. The top area of concern with elderly patients is dry mouth, stained teeth, gum disease, and tooth loss. Dr, Jason Roe can treat these and any other oral issues.

Elderly patients can be harder to treat because the extra attention needed includes aging patient’s health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. These conditions can lead to gum disease and adult tooth loss. Dr. Roe takes the time to evaluate the elderly patient’s gums, teeth, joints, and tissues. He can also help with crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental care needed with patients.

Dr. Roe will carefully evaluate all areas of concern regarding his patients. He will then offer simple therapies to restore oral health. This can include additional cleanings, periodontal (gum) therapy, restorative work (crowns), or replacement teeth. Seniors can get the care they deserve with our sedation dentistry and our easy and convenient payment plans.
