Elderly

 

Practice founder Dr Christopher Hodge has been a leading advocate of dental support for older patients and helped launch the Aged Care Dental Program.

Dr Hodge is a visiting tutor at the University of Adelaide and provides tutoring and mentoring for dental students and new graduates.

Special Care Dental provides dental care in our spacious rooms for the elderly, including residents of Aged Care facilities.

Patients who hold a current Veterans Affairs gold card are eligible for dental treatment at no out of pocket expense to the patient.

Treatment can be provided in our well-equipped surgeries large enough to accommodate all types of wheelchairs.

Patients who require more advanced dentistry or surgery can be treated under general anaesthetic in hospital.
