A wise person once said that everyone wants a long life, but no one wants to get old. Yet it happens. While some challenges that come with aging can’t be avoided, others can. At Love Your Smile in Kelowna, we help patients of all ages with their dental health issues.
Gaps In Your Smile?
Many dental problems common among retirees such as missing teeth, gum recession, tooth damage, and yellowed enamel, can be remedied.
Some people think losing their teeth as they age is inevitable. It isn’t. With a proper dental health routine at home and regular cleanings and checkups in our office (just like you’ve always done, we hope) your teeth can last a lifetime.
Changes
But the mouth does undergo changes as we age. The nerves in teeth may get smaller, to the point where teeth are not as sensitive to cavities and other issues. That means you may not feel as much tooth pain from a cavity as you once did. Regular checkups become that much more important.
If you do lose one or more of your teeth, dental implants may be right for you. Implants can:
- Support a single artificial tooth
- Support a set of dentures
To find out if you’re a candidate for dental implants, call Love Your Smile in Kelowna to schedule an appointment. We offer sedation dentistry for patients who are anxious about treatment. Call our office today!
