Dental implants offer seniors a lasting solution to tooth loss, integrating with the jawbone to restore function and preserve oral structure, though the process involves several key considerations.

Tooth nerve pain, or dental neuralgia, causes sharp, throbbing discomfort from the dental pulp, often triggered by temperature or pressure, and linked to decay, gum disease, or inflammation.

Edentulism affects function and self-image, but dentures restore oral health and confidence. Despite initial challenges, they improve quality of life. Discover how this impactful change unfolds.

Cavities often go unnoticed until they reach deeper layers of the tooth, causing sensitivity or sharp pain—especially with temperature changes or sugary foods. Early prevention is key.

Healing starts within 24–48 hours with clot formation. Swelling and discomfort peak around days 2–3, then ease; soft tissue heals in about a week; full bone recovery can take weeks to months.
