Solutions in Palma de Mallorca for oral health in the elderly
At Udemax Clinics, we stand out for being a dental clinic with a team specialised in the treatment of older adults. We understand that with age, oral health requires more detailed attention, from prevention to complete oral rehabilitation.
Old age, in general, is known as a time when problems such as dental wear, tooth loss, among other oral health problems, have become normalised. But the reality is that older adults can continue to maintain a healthy and strong smile for many more years.
Health care for the elderly requires the attention of dentists who specialise in treatments for this period of life.

We are dentists specialising in older adults
At our clinic, we are proud to have a team of dentists who specialise in older adults, committed to providing the best care in geriatric dentistry. We understand that as we age, dental needs change, and it is essential to have professionals who understand and adapt to these particularities.
Solutions to restore the oral health of older adults.
Visiting the dentist is recommended at any time, not just when severe dental problems occur. What’s more, it’s a habit that should be important at any stage of life. If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit the dentist regularly in previous years, it doesn’t mean that it’s too late to fix your problems – quite the contrary.
At Emardental we will provide a solution to these problems that derive from inadequate dental health care, and we will even restore old dental treatments that have deteriorated over the years. We will put all the resources at our disposal to help you understand the importance of the health of your mouth, finding the solution to the dental health problems you have had for years.
Dental Implants in Older Adults
Tooth loss is a common problem in the elderly, and its impact goes beyond aesthetics. It affects the ability to chew, speak, and maintain facial structure. Our senior dentists are experts in the placement of dental implants, offering solutions that restore both function and the natural appearance of the mouth.
Periodontics for Seniors
Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, are more prevalent in the elderly and can lead to tooth loss if not treated properly. Our periodontal experts specialise in caring for gums and preventing the progression of these diseases, ensuring the stability and health of the mouth.
Oral Rehabilitation for the Elderly
Oral rehabilitation is essential for older patients who have experienced significant tooth wear or the loss of several teeth. We offer personalised treatments ranging from dentures to complex oral reconstructions, always with a focus on improving the patient's quality of life.
Invisible Orthodontics for Seniors
Orthodontics is not just for young people. Many older adults opt for invisible orthodontics to correct misaligned teeth, improving both the function and aesthetics of their smile. Our specialists offer modern orthodontic treatments that are discreet and effective.
Conscious Sedation
For many older adults, dental visits can be anxiety-inducing. That's why we offer conscious sedation, a technique that allows patients to receive treatment in a relaxed, stress-free manner. This is especially helpful for longer or more complex procedures.
Dental reconstruction
As the years go by, many older patients experience significant dental decay. Our senior dentists offer dental reconstruction solutions that restore function and aesthetics to the mouth, using high-quality materials for long-lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dentistry in the Elderly
One of the most common dental diseases in old age is the wear and loss of enamel and, consequently, of teeth. This is because enamel, the protective layer of the tooth, weakens over time due to factors such as diet, medication and simple ageing.
In addition, inadequate dental health care in older years can lead to problems such as tooth loss, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. It is essential for older adults to receive regular dental care to prevent and treat these conditions.
Tooth loss in seniors, although often considered normal, can have a significant impact on quality of life, affecting nutrition and self-esteem. Our senior dentists are here to provide effective solutions and restore both dental health and function.
It is recommended that older adults visit the dentist at least twice a year for regular check-ups and cleanings. However, if there are dental health problems, it may be necessary to visit the dentist more frequently.
Treatments for tooth loss include dental implants, removable prostheses (dentures) and dental bridges. The dentist will evaluate which option is best for the patient’s specific case.
Bleeding gums are not normal and can be a sign of periodontal disease. It is important for older adults to see a dentist if they experience bleeding gums.
Dentures should be cleaned daily and checked regularly to make sure they fit well and do not cause irritation. Specialist dentists can adjust or replace dentures if necessary.
Dry mouth can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum problems. It is important to stay hydrated and, if necessary, use specific dry mouth products recommended by your dentist.
Invisible orthodontics is a popular option for older adults who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance of traditional braces. There are also other options such as ceramic brackets or clear aligners.
Maintaining good oral health includes brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily, avoiding excessive intake of sugars and visiting the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
