Treatment in geriatric dentistry now focuses on preserving natural tissues and restoring function. At Liv Hospital, each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s health, using gentle methods that lower stress on the body. The aim is to help patients eat, talk, and interact comfortably, improving their quality of life. By combining new regenerative techniques with standard care, we offer long-lasting solutions that suit older bodies.
Regenerative medicine offers new hope for older patients with significant tissue loss, utilizing the body’s own signaling molecules to stimulate repair.
Scaffolding Techniques for Bone Augmentation
Advanced materials are used to create a framework that supports the growth of new bone cells in areas of deficiency.
Today’s geriatric dentistry uses advanced materials that help teeth heal, not just fill holes. These materials release helpful minerals like calcium and fluoride, which strengthen teeth and prevent new cavities. This is especially useful for older adults with dry mouth or root decay. At Liv Hospital, we choose materials that bond well with teeth and last longer, protecting fragile enamel and dentin.
Many older adults can get dental implants, but changes in bone make careful planning important. At Liv Hospital, computer-guided surgery helps place implants accurately, often with less cutting and faster healing. For those with bone loss, special types of implants can be used to avoid the need for major bone grafts.
Many older adults need dentures or other devices to help them eat and speak. At Liv Hospital, we make sure these fit well and do not hurt the sensitive mouth lining. We use digital scans and advanced technology for a better fit. Implant-supported dentures can also give more stability than regular ones, letting patients eat more foods and speak more clearly.
For very old or frail patients, dental care often focuses on comfort and preventing pain or infection. This means gentle cleaning, using products to help with dry mouth, and treating sores or infections. At Liv Hospital, we aim to keep patients comfortable and maintain their dignity, even if major dental work is not possible.
Many older adults undergo treatment for cancer, which can have severe side effects on the oral cavity, such as radiation-induced xerostomia or chemotherapy-related mucositis. Geriatric dentistry at Liv Hospital includes specialized protocols for these patients, providing preventive care before oncology treatment begins and supportive care throughout the process. This coordination ensures that oral complications are minimized and that the patient can maintain adequate nutrition and comfort during their cancer journey.
Older adults process medications differently, so it’s important to choose drugs carefully. At Liv Hospital, we use painkillers and numbing agents that are safe for older patients and avoid strong opioids when possible. We always check that new dental medicines will not interfere with other prescriptions, putting safety first.

Yes, with proper medical clearance and a tailored surgical approach, most older adults can safely undergo dental procedures at Liv Hospital.
These are innovative materials that release calcium and phosphate to help the tooth heal itself and prevent new cavities from forming.
Yes, but the dentist must carefully evaluate your bone density and any osteoporosis medications you are taking before proceeding.
Healing may take slightly longer than in a younger person, often requiring 2 to 3 weeks for initial soft-tissue closure.
The best option depends on your health and budget, but implant-supported bridges or overdentures generally provide the best stability and function.
