In Marie's words

A big decision at 83 — for the quality of life that mattered most.

I am Marie, and I am 83 years old. I had a decision to make. It's a big decision — but my quality of life is extremely important.

Why patients in their 70s and 80s choose Dr. Andrus

Marie's story is common: in your seventies and eighties, the decision to invest in major dental work is a quality-of-life decision, not a cosmetic one. The ability to chew, eat, and smile day-to-day matters more than the time and cost of treatment. Dr. Andrus offers fixed implant restoration, snap-on dentures, and digital dentures — each with a different speed/cost/comfort tradeoff for older patients.
