Health open communication with the clinician where concerns and possible outcomes can be discussed is vital. Examples of previous work and bespoke digital predictions of the client’s end results, as well as trial smiles, can be created to provide patients with a good understanding of what to expect before going ahead with any changes. The most common complaints are “I don’t like the way my teeth look” and “I just don’t like smiling anymore in photos” which may be as a result of mismatched fillings or old crowns in front teeth, crowded, worn, or missing teeth or old ‘silver’ fillings in the back teeth. Most troubling is loose or missing teeth which not only can be debilitating aesthetically but functionally too. We can resolve these concerns with a variety of procedures: hand-built tooth coloured fillings and veneers, ceramic restorations, implant crowns and bridges, dentures - and sometimes just with improved cleaning and whitening. However small your worry, if it is important to you then it is important to ask and find out how it might be changed. Discussing your concerns will allow you to find out specifically what your options are and how they can be achieved before you start. StoneRock Dental Care, Stonerock House, High Street, Hawkhurst, Cranbrook, Kent 01580 752202 stonerockdentalcare.com Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic What are the most common dental health issues for people as they age? As we age the risk of tooth decay increases. It increases when teeth are not cleaned thoroughly, possibly because of dexterity problems such as arthritis, and when prescribed medications cause dry mouth. Older people often have a legacy of dated dental treatments, which need replacing with modern alternatives. Tooth wear can be a problem, but modern materials and techniques mean that lasting repairs can be made. Teeth can also move with age, but there are many orthodontic solutions available to all ages, from bespoke fixed braces such as Insignia and Incognito, Invisalign clear, removable aligners to faster systems for adults such as Cfast, which can straighten most adults’ teeth in 6-9 months. Gum disease, diabetes, heart disease, auto-immune conditions and dementia are all associated with a deterioration in oral health, which should be closely monitored. It is important to maintain regular check-ups with your dentist, so that as you age your dentist can take preventive measures and plan treatment for the future to minimise problems. Are people keeping their own teeth longer than they used to? With better oral health education and products available to keep your teeth healthy, people can look after their teeth for life, with regular dental check-ups, preventive measures and hygiene appointments. However, people can lose teeth at any age as a result of gum disease, tooth decay, dental infections and trauma. As people are now living a lot longer, we have to look after our teeth to ensure they last, with healthy eating and visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and preventive treatment. If teeth are too badly damaged to save, what are the options for replacements? Dentures have been the option for replacing teeth for many years, and a clinical dental technician can now make dentures that fit securely and look like natural teeth. However, no matter if you have lost one, several or all your teeth, expertly placed dental implants offer the best fixed long-term solution. They provide a stable base to which your crown, bridge or implant-stabilised denture can be securely attached, and will be made to look, fit and function just like your natural teeth. Prices vary widely for implants, but always look for a dentist who has years of expertise and uses well-researched materials, rather than the cheapest option; often these dentists have only been on a short course and use cheaper systems that do not last. The dental implant team at Elmsleigh House have helped patients who have had implants placed elsewhere fail, and are referred patients for dental implants because they are trusted for their expertise and longlasting results. One of the first implant patients at Elmsleigh House is still enjoying her replacement teeth placed over 30 years ago. What are the relative costs, time taken and longevity of the different options? This is a difficult question to answer because each option depends on an individual’s dental health and overall health – and the level of expertise, technology and quality of materials used by the practitioner. With dental implants, it is essential they are placed in healthy gum and bone, so sometimes extra work is needed such as a bone graft to ensure secure and longlasting results. Everything must be bespoke to the individual. To ensure the best dental care at any age, it is important to: • Brush your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time in the day with a fluoride toothpaste • Cut down on sugary food and drink • Visit your dentist for regular check-ups, as often as they recommend, and your hygienist for professional cleaning.
