Dentist Near Sunnyvale, Texas
Care N Cure Dental does not have a Sunnyvale office; we are in Garland at 1901 Northwest Highway, Suite 103. Sunnyvale residents, including many retirees and older adults, choose us because we accept Medicare Advantage plans that include dental and focus on helping people keep their natural teeth longer.
Dental changes that come with age
- Dry mouth: hundreds of common medications reduce saliva, and less saliva means more cavities. Bring your medication list so we can suggest fluoride or other protection.
- Root cavities: as gums recede, the softer root surface is exposed and decays more easily. Regular exams catch these early, when a small filling is enough.
- Worn and cracked teeth: decades of chewing and old silver fillings can lead to cracks that a crown can protect.
- Changing denture fit: the jaw slowly changes shape, so dentures should be checked about once a year.
What each checkup includes
Along with a cleaning, the dentist checks your teeth, gums, tongue and the soft tissues of your mouth for anything unusual, reviews your medications and health changes, and takes X-rays when they are due. If you see a physician for diabetes or heart conditions, let us know, since gum health and these conditions can affect each other.
Getting here from Sunnyvale
Take I-30 west to I-635 (LBJ Freeway) north and exit at Northwest Highway. The office is in the Towngate Plaza shopping center, with free parking close to the door.
Questions from Sunnyvale patients
Does Care N Cure Dental accept Medicare for patients from Sunnyvale?
Care N Cure Dental accepts Medicare Advantage plans that include dental benefits. Original Medicare alone does not cover routine dental care, so the team checks your plan before your visit.
Why do I get more cavities now than when I was younger?
Common reasons include dry mouth from medications and gums that have receded, which exposes the softer root surfaces of the teeth. Extra fluoride and more frequent checkups can help.
How often should dentures be checked?
About once a year, even if they feel fine. The jaw gradually changes shape, and a poor fit can cause sores, trouble chewing and bone loss.
