Supporting Forever Smiles with Geriatric and Mobile/Concierge Dentistry
With age comes great wisdom. But tooth loss and other forms of damage to your oral health do not have to accompany the aging process. Our dentist at Royal Dental Practice, Dr. Roya Shoffet, truly rolls out the red carpet for her more “experienced” patients.
Dr. Shoffet has a strong passion and interest in caring for seniors in West Hills and greater Los Angeles, California. So, it is only fitting that throughout her career, she has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to geriatric dentistry by acquiring substantial knowledge and expertise in caring for this population.
Due to her training and experience, Dr. Shoffet intimately understands the unique oral health and overall challenges accompanying the aging process. She also accounts for and empathizes with the unique needs of senior patients.
As a true geriatric dentist, she has even developed considerable experience with caring for older individuals with comorbidities, such as:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Dementia and cognitive impairment
- Mobility challenges
- Range of chronic and physical conditions
Additionally, Dr. Shoffet is among those rare clinicians who offer mobile dentistry services. This unique capability allows for our team to come to you or your family member. You never have to leave the house! You can enjoy and benefit from all of the exceptional dental services available at our office from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Some of these on-the-go, concierge offerings include:
- Dental exams or assessments of the teeth and oral anatomical structures by state-of-the-art X-ray unit
- Oral cancer screenings
- Hygiene care and guidance, from routine professional cleanings and desensitizing treatments to fluoride and antimicrobial therapies
- Dental fillings (and repair of old or worn-down fillings and restorations) in limited cases
- Tooth removal in very limited cases
- Dentures, partial denture fabrication, maintenance like repairs, relining, and adjustments
- Gum treatments such as deep cleaning and periodontal maintenance for the health of gums
In limited situations, Dr. Shoffet can also perform some oral surgeries and other restorative procedures at the bedside. For those procedures still best performed at our practice location, you have nothing to worry about! We can arrange safe and reliable transportation to and from our office.
Changes to oral and overall health in one’s more advanced age can be overwhelming. It can also be challenging for caregivers to balance all the commitments competing for their attention. We are here to help!
