Geriatric Dentistry in Costa Rica

At Arco Dental, we understand that every stage of life requires a different dental approach. That’s why we offer Geriatric Dentistry, a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating oral diseases specific to older adults.

Oral health in later life is influenced by factors such as natural aging, chronic diseases, medication use, and systemic conditions.

Our treatments aim to improve not only oral health but also the quality of life and oral function of our senior patients.

What procedures does geriatric dentistry include?

At Arco Dental, under the care and expertise of Dr. María Fernanda Muñoz, a specialist in geriatric dentistry, we provide comprehensive and personalized care that may include:

• Complete evaluation of the senior’s oral health.
• Control and treatment of periodontal (gum) diseases.
• Management of root caries (decay in the tooth root).
• Adaptation of full or partial dentures.
• Oral rehabilitation with crowns, bridges, and implants as needed.
• Treatment for dry mouth (xerostomia) related to medications.
• Treatment of mucosal lesions, candidiasis, and other oral conditions.
• Preventive focus and adapted oral hygiene education.
• Coordination with other dental specialties as needed.

Because Arco Dental has all dental specialties in one place, we can address the most complex cases in an interdisciplinary way and offer comprehensive solutions for our senior patients.
