At East Cobb Dental, we’re proud to care for generations of patients—and that includes our senior community. As a family-oriented, privately owned dental practice in Marietta, GA, we understand that oral health needs change with age. Our approach to geriatric dentistry is centered around personalized, compassionate care that supports both the comfort and overall well-being of our older patients.

Whether you’re managing dry mouth, worn dental work or looking for a trusted dental home that takes the time to understand your history, we’re here to help you maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

What Is Geriatric Dentistry?

Geriatric dentistry focuses on the unique dental needs of adults over 60. As we age, oral health becomes more closely connected to overall health. Factors like medications, chronic health conditions and dexterity issues can affect how well patients are able to care for their teeth and gums.

Common concerns we address include:

• Tooth wear, fractures and restorations that need updating

• Dry mouth (xerostomia) related to medication or health issues

• Gum disease and recession

• Tooth loss and denture maintenance

• Sensitivity and thinning enamel

• Managing care for patients in assisted living

Our office is conveniently located near several assisted living communities, and many of our patients have been with us for decades. In fact, we often see multi-generational families—including seniors who once brought their kids here and are now being brought by them!

Our Senior-Friendly Dental Services

We offer a wide range of services tailored to meet the oral health needs of older adults:

• Regular Dental Checkups with oral cancer screenings

• Tooth Fillings, Crowns & Bridges using modern, tooth-colored materials

• Dental Implants (restoration only)

• Custom Dentures and Denture Maintenance

• Gum Disease Treatment with gentle scaling and root planing
