Our seniors dentistry goes far beyond routine check-ups.
It’s about creating comfortable, respectful experiences that honor your years of life experience while addressing the unique oral health challenges that come with aging, supporting your overall wellbeing and quality of life.
Our experienced team understands that senior patients have distinct needs, from managing multiple medications that affect oral health to addressing decades of wear or previous dental work. We combine gentle, patient-centered care with a welcoming environment designed to accommodate mobility concerns and take the extra time seniors deserve, because we believe dental visits should enhance your comfort and confidence, not add stress to your life.
Our mission of ‘care beyond the chair’ means we’re genuinely invested in your comfort, dignity, and long-term oral health success. We build trusting relationships that make every visit a positive experience, helping you maintain the healthy smile that supports your independence and enjoyment of life’s pleasures at every stage.
Our Senior’s Dentistry Services
Every day, we deliver compassionate, specialized care that addresses the unique oral health needs of our senior patients, helping you maintain comfort, function, and confidence with comprehensive treatments designed specifically for mature adults.
General & Preventative Dentistry
Senior preventative care addresses age-related oral health changes with extra gentleness and attention. From thorough examinations that check for oral health complications to careful cleanings that accommodate sensitive gums and medication effects, we focus on maintaining what’s healthy while preventing further decline. We provide targeted treatments for dry mouth, management of gum recession, and gentle approaches that respect the changes that naturally occur with aging.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Your smile says a lot about you. We offer practical cosmetic solutions including professional whitening to address age-related discoloration, replacement of old amalgam fillings with natural-looking alternatives, and smile improvements that complement your mature features. Every treatment considers your comfort level and realistic expectations, ensuring results that make you feel proud of your smile.
Dental Implants & Restorative Dentistry
Missing teeth significantly impact senior nutrition, speech, and social confidence. Our restoration solutions—including dental implants, precision crowns, and stable bridges—restore complete function while working with your existing health conditions and medications. We provide comprehensive denture services, implant-supported options, and All-on-4 solutions designed specifically for senior comfort, stability, and ease of daily maintenance.
Specialist Dentistry
Senior patients often have complex dental needs requiring specialized expertise and extra care. Our services include comprehensive periodontal therapy for age-related gum issues, gentle oral surgery with appropriate health considerations, and sedation dentistry for comfortable treatment. We also provide priority emergency care with understanding of how dental problems can significantly impact senior health and overall wellbeing.

Our process ensures every patient receives personalised attention, comprehensive care, and ongoing support that respects your time and priorities. From your initial consultation through your complete treatment journey, we prioritise comfort, clear communication, and results that enhance your professional and personal life. This is what ‘care beyond the chair’ truly means for our senior patients.

Why Unley Park Dental for Senior's Dentistry?
Because our care goes beyond the chair
And because you want a dentist who combines experience and innovation. We deliver thoughtful, individualised treatments with the latest technology—always guided by your comfort, needs, and goals.
We don’t follow the standard script. We plan deeper, communicate better, and aim higher. Our process is led by genuine relationships, not conveyor-belt care. From our technology to our tone, everything we do is about delivering a more refined experience.
Each member of our team brings a specialist skillset and a shared philosophy: excellence with empathy. Our dentists are not only highly qualified—they’re deeply committed to your comfort and results.
We built our practice on a simple belief: dental care should heal more than mouths. It should restore confidence, reduce anxiety, and respect the person behind every smile.
Our team brings decades of experience to cosmetic dentistry, and we use that to create the best personalised experience, from taking time to understand your story, creating solutions that fit your life, and celebrating small wins with you.
Our advanced technology helps—a lot— but empathy drives everything. We remember being patients too. We know the vulnerability of the dental chair, the anxiety of unknown procedures, and the relief when someone genuinely cares. That understanding shapes every service, from quick teeth whitenings to complex smile makeovers.
Patients tell us they never expected to feel comfortable at a dentist. Some even say they enjoy visits. We can’t promise miracles, but we can promise genuine care that considers who you are, not just what you need.

Frequently asked questions
When should adults visit the dentist?We recommend adults visit every six months for routine check-ups and professional cleanings, though your individual needs may vary based on your oral health status, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors. If it’s been a while since your last dental visit, don’t worry—we’re here to help you get back on track without judgment. Our comprehensive adult examinations allow us to assess your current oral health and create a personalized plan that fits your life and goals.
Regular visits help us catch potential issues early, when they’re easier and more comfortable to address. Ready to prioritize your oral health? Contact Unley Park Dental today to schedule your appointment with our caring adult dentistry team.
How can I feel more comfortable with dental visits as an adult?We understand that dental anxiety doesn’t disappear with age—in fact, many adults feel more anxious about dental care than children do. Our team is experienced in helping nervous adult patients feel genuinely comfortable and respected during their visits. We take time to listen to your concerns, explain everything clearly, and never rush you through decisions.
You can help yourself feel more comfortable by communicating openly with us about your concerns, asking questions, and letting us know what has helped or hindered your comfort in the past. We’re always happy to schedule a consultation where we can discuss your needs and show you our approach before any treatment begins.
How do you handle anxious or nervous patients during dental visits?If dental visits make you feel anxious, you’re certainly not alone—many of our adult patients share these feelings, and addressing them is an important part of our caring approach. We use gentle communication, explain procedures clearly, and allow you to proceed at your own comfortable pace. We never make you feel rushed or dismiss your concerns.
We offer various comfort options including sedation dentistry for more anxious patients, and we’re always willing to take breaks when you need them.
Our goal is ensuring you leave feeling proud of taking care of your health, not stressed about the experience. Your comfort and peace of mind are just as important to us as your oral health.
