Senior dental care is comprehensive, age-conscious treatment that protects the teeth, gums, and comfort of adults as their needs change over time. Dry mouth, worn enamel, gum recession, medications, and missing teeth can all affect how you eat, speak, and smile. Addressing these issues early helps protect your overall health.
At Manyak Dental Group, Dr. Tanya Manyak has cared for San Mateo patients since 2003, and we offer senior dental care built around gentle technology and unhurried appointments. Whether you need a filling, a crown, dentures, or a full smile restoration, we explain every option in plain language. You deserve care that feels respectful, comfortable, and personal.
Every treatment starts with an exam and a written estimate, so you know the cost before we begin. As an out-of-network practice, we file insurance claims for you. Details on payment, financing and our in-house membership are on our Patient Resources page.
Choosing the right senior dentist means finding someone who treats you as a whole person, not a chart. As an Age-Friendly Certified practice, we are proud to be an age-friendly dentist San Mateo families trust, and Dr. Manyak has been voted Best Dentist 18 times. You benefit from injection-free Solea laser dentistry for many procedures, which means less discomfort and faster healing.
Digital 3D impressions replace messy trays, and same-day CEREC crowns spare you extra trips. Because we are out-of-network, we can recommend the care you truly need and give you generous time with your dentist. We also file your insurance claims for you. Your comfort and confidence come first.
Many procedures, including fillings and gum recontouring, can be done with our Solea laser without anesthesia or drilling. That often means no numb lips, less soreness, and a quicker return to your day.
Replacing missing or damaged teeth makes it easier to chew the foods you enjoy. Options like dentures for seniors and dental implants for seniors help you eat well, speak clearly, and keep your health on track. Learn about our dental implant treatment to see how it works.
Custom crowns, gum refinement, and natural-looking restorations help you feel good about your appearance. When you are proud of your smile, you will find it easier to laugh, connect, and enjoy time with family and friends.
Your first visit is a conversation, not a rush. Dr. Manyak reviews your health history, medications, and concerns, then examines your teeth, gums, and bite. Digital 3D impressions capture precise details comfortably, with no gooey trays. You will learn exactly what is happening in your mouth, hear your options in plain language, and share your goals. Nothing moves forward until you feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your plan.
Depending on your plan, treatment may include laser dentistry, fillings, gum care, dentures, or implant solutions. Many procedures can be completed with the Solea laser, often without injections. If you need a crown, CEREC technology creates a custom restoration in one visit, with no temporary crown and no second appointment. We move at a calm pace and check in with you throughout so you stay relaxed.
After treatment, we explain how to care for your smile at home, including cleaning tips for restorations and ways to ease dry mouth. Laser treatment often supports faster healing and less discomfort. We schedule follow-up visits as needed and stay available by phone. Our goal is a lasting relationship, so your teeth, gums, and confidence stay strong for years to come.
