Senior dentistry: specialised dental care

We offer specialised solutions for patients of advanced age — treatments that do not overwhelm, yet still provide reliable results that maintain and protect quality of life.
This means being able to bite firmly, eat comfortably, and have teeth that are easy to clean and confident to show.

Studies have shown that removable dentures are often not recommended.
Prostheses, for example, can become difficult to handle as manual dexterity decreases with age.
Fixed, permanently anchored restorations cannot end up in a drawer — and remain functional even if additional care is needed.

Modern dental implant systems from Straumann allow immediate placement and immediate loading, meaning the restoration can be fixed right away.
This ensures long-term function and aesthetics — both of which play an increasingly important role with age.

A full, balanced diet and the ability to participate confidently in social life (secure appearance with firm teeth) are essential foundations for healthy ageing — and only possible with stable, fixed teeth.

In an edentulous jaw, for example, 4–6 ideally positioned implants are sufficient to anchor a screw-retained bridge that replaces all teeth in the arch.
Even when oral hygiene becomes more challenging with age, the prognosis with these implant systems remains very good.

Without complex or lengthy treatment, we can restore your chewing function and aesthetics permanently.
