The teenage years are a time of transition and change. We help teenage patients take responsibility for their own dental health, answering their questions, and helping them plan for their future. We talk to teenagers about how their diet affects the health and appearance of their teeth and how to spot signs of possible decay and disease, especially as they enter young adulthood.

Hygiene Tips

We know that families with teens can have trouble getting them excited about dental hygiene at home, which is why we’re intentional during check-ups to encourage young adults to build good habits early to protect their smiles.

Aging individuals might notice that their teeth and gums are weakening over time. Over time, tooth enamel can be worn down by certain foods, beverages, and physical stressors like teeth grinding and harsh tooth brushing. We offer many dental services so that you can keep your teeth healthy and strong to maintain your quality of life.

Sleep Guards

Snoring often affects older individuals since the muscles in the throat become lax and can more easily collapse into the airway while you sleep. This partial blockage is responsible for snoring and disorders like sleep apnea. Dr. Koster can provide you with a custom-fit sleep guard or oral appliances that will help you sleep soundly and maintain your oral health.

Once you schedule an appointment, it can be nerve-wracking as you build up expectations for your first visit. What will Dr. Koster do, how stressful will the experience be, and other questions serve only to cause further stress? Here’s what will happen when you show up for your first appointment.

First, we’ll have you fill out intake forms (unless you filled them out online!), then take you on a quick tour of our beautiful office. Then, we’ll review your dental and medical history, take X-rays and any other scans Dr. Koster orders, and do a gentle and thorough cleaning of your teeth. Dr. Koster will review all the information she’s gathered and plan the next appointment, whether for another routine cleaning or for a specific need, and you’ll be on your way!
