The Doorstep Dental Way
A stress-free, pain-free, healthy dental experience for you or your loved one.
In the past 10 years, dentistry has changed dramatically. Doorstep Dental constantly innovates to best serve the population they are dedicated to: seniors. Our elders deserve the best care and can finally receive it in the comfort of their home, through Doorstep Dental’s guiding principles:
Stress-Free
Time-consuming, stressful trips to the dentist’s office are a thing of the past. Evidence-driven advances and new technology have made providing for those with little access to dental care not only possible, but safer, easier, and painless. Doorstep Dental has made it their mission to bring these advancements to your door.
How can Doorstep Dental bring the dentist’s office to you? It’s all thanks to major advancements in technology, such as:
-
Mobile Internet Technology and Cloud-Based Software
Doorstep Dental teams set up and operate a fully functional dental office in your home or facility, complete with charts, imaging, and the latest equipment.
-
Imaging Technology
Doorstep Dental teams have the ability to take X-rays anywhere.
-
Cordless cleaning/polishing instruments
No more long, exhausting office visits for the most routine of procedures. All of the equipment you would normally need in a dentist office is brought right into your home or care facility, all while adhering to stringent sterilization procedures.
Pain-Free
Unlike traditional dentists who stick to entrenched procedures, Doorstep Dental innovates constantly, using well-backed, evidence-driven techniques that stop the spread of decay, usually without requiring injections and drilling. We are experts in geriatric, pain-free dentistry.
-
90% of Doorstep Procedures are Performed Without Painful Injections or Drilling
While Doorstep Dentists can perform all the procedures done in a traditional dental office, including dentures, implants, extractions, crowns, and fillings, our teams focus on the conservative, and medically necessary procedures to keep your loved one safe and enjoying their life while you enjoy more peace of mind.
-
Protection and Prevention
Every Doorstep Dentist is trained in the latest pain-free techniques, and will only perform injections and invasive dentistry when it is needed to prevent a serious, and life-threatening dental infection. Your loved one simply needs to be protected, and our teams are prepared to do that. No needles. No stress. Just safe, proven, and effective care.
Oral Health = Overall Health
Our elderly and physically-limited patients need to take their whole-body health into account with every medical procedure. As experts in geriatric and disabled dentistry, our Doorstep Dental team uses the best practices to bring a higher level of quality of life and health for our patients.
-
Bodily Health Through Periodontal Health
With decreased mobility and inconsistent brushing, geriatric patients are not only at risk of gum disease, but all the health risks associated with it, including pneumonia, respiratory infections, diabetes, heart attack and stroke. Because of this, Doorstep Dentists are trained to thoroughly examine and give special attention to periodontal health.
-
Treatment of the Most Common Side-Effects of Elder-Care Medication
Seniors, especially those in care facilities, are more likely to have untreated cavities because of the common dry mouth symptoms associated with many medications. The bacteria and acid that cause decay are usually washed away with saliva, but dry mouth prohibits those normal healthy functions. Not only can the Doorstep Dental team treat those painful, deepening cavities, but it can provide help and oral remedies for dry mouth and other medication side-effects.
