Common FAQs About Senior Dentistry

Do you offer full-mouth rehabilitation for seniors?

Yes. At Smile House, we often provide full-mouth rehabilitation for older adults who are experiencing widespread tooth loss, worn restorations, or functional discomfort. This type of care may combine periodontal treatment, dental implants, crowns, and bite adjustments. Because we have multiple specialists on-site and an in-house lab, your treatment plan is created with precision and delivered with efficiency.

an I still get dental implants at my age?

Age alone isn’t a barrier to getting dental implants. What matters more is your bone density, general health, and personal goals. Many of our senior patients choose implants as a long-term solution for missing teeth, especially when comfort and stability with traditional dentures become difficult. We evaluate each case with advanced diagnostics and take the time to walk you through your options.

What if I have a caregiver or family member helping me?

We welcome caregivers, spouses, and adult children at appointments. We prioritize clear communication and shared understanding at every step. Our team will provide detailed explanations and printed instructions when needed. We can help coordinate appointments and follow-up care with your support system. Whether you come in with someone or prefer to bring them into the conversation afterward, we’ll ensure everyone feels informed, empowered, and at ease.

Is senior dental care covered by Medicare?

Unfortunately, traditional Medicare does not cover most dental services, including cleanings, exams, fillings, and implants. However, there may be coverage options through supplemental or Medicare Advantage plans. At Smile House, we’re committed to transparency. We will walk you through your benefits, any estimated out-of-pocket costs, and financing options if needed. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to comfort or care, and we’ll always work with you to create a plan
