Dental Implants vs. Dentures for Seniors
As we age, maintaining oral health becomes essential for overall wellness. Dental implants for seniors offer significant advantages over traditional dentures, providing a permanent solution that eliminates the frustrations of loose or uncomfortable prosthetics. Unlike removable dentures, implants integrate with the jawbone to prevent bone loss and preserve natural facial structure.
At Innova Dental Implant Institute, Dr. Dexter Mattox delivers senior-friendly implant solutions designed to restore comfort, function, and confidence. From single-tooth replacements to full mouth restorations, our Brunswick team provides personalized care for older adults across the Golden Isles, proudly serving patients in Brunswick, St. Simons Island, and beyond.
Dr. Dexter Mattox specializes in implants for seniors, understanding that older adults often have unique medical considerations that require careful treatment planning.
