Enjoy Optimal Oral Health and Confidence Boost with Adult Dentistry
Oral health in adults moves through several stages. Dental care is important in childhood and adolescence but equally important for adults and seniors. Westwood Dentistry offers comprehensive dental care services, including preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, to care for every age. Adult dentistry goes beyond routine check-ups; it addresses the unique challenges of age, lifestyle, and changing health needs.
Adult dentistry: How do we help to maintain optimal oral health?
Balancing work deadlines and family commitments, adults may find that maintaining a healthy, radiant smile becomes just another task on their ever-growing to-do list. Yet, our dental needs become more complex and critical as we age. Drs. Monica Anand and Anshuman Rawat provide the following dental care services to help maintain your best smile throughout all stages of life.
- Preventive dentistry: Millions of bacteria inhabit our mouths, many of which are harmless and beneficial. However, some aren’t so good, and their proliferation may cause gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. Like all living creatures, bacteria need food as an energy source. Starches and sugars in your mouth are an excellent snack for harmful bacteria. Preventive dentistry with routine dental cleanings eradicates unwanted bacteria to keep your smile issue-free. Furthermore, our preventive services include routine exams and periodontal care to detect and treat minor issues before they progress and become hard to treat.
- Cosmetic dentistry: We understand you want more than a healthy smile. We create amazing smiles with cosmetic dentistry, making you look happier, healthier, and younger. Our cosmetic dental care services include veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, Invisalign, gum contouring, and other treatments. Are you unhappy with your misaligned, discolored, gapped, or uneven teeth? If so, schedule an appointment with our cosmetic dental team to rejuvenate your smile.
- Restorative dentistry: Your oral health tends to deteriorate as you age. Enamel is the body’s hardest substance, but it isn’t indestructible. As you age, your enamel begins to weaken because of various factors, including dietary habits, oral hygiene practices, and general wear and tear. Restorative dental care restores your smile’s functionality and aesthetics after dental decay and damage. Our restorative dental care includes teeth replacements (implants, dentures, and bridges), crowns, fillings, and onlays. Don’t let missing or damaged teeth ruin your quality of life. Please schedule an appointment with our office to rebuild your smile with restorative dentistry.
How do I maintain optimal oral health at home?
Although your dentist offers guidance, treatments, and support, maintaining a healthy mouth demands daily attention and commitment. Here are a few tips for maintaining a healthy mouth.

- Floss daily, especially before bedtime
- Avoid the intake of sugary and acidic foods
