The Importance of Good Oral Health as We Age
As we grow older, maintaining a healthy smile becomes more important than ever. Your teeth and gums don’t just affect your appearance — they impact your ability to eat, speak, and enjoy life comfortably. Dr. Cavallo provides compassionate, comprehensive senior dental care in Woodbridge to help you keep your smile strong and bright for years to come.
Many adults assume dental issues are an inevitable part of aging — but that’s not true. With the right care, you can maintain healthy teeth and gums well into your golden years. Good oral health for seniors is so important. it supports overall health and wellness and can contribute to daily quality of life.
- Protects Overall Health: Oral health is closely connected to your overall wellness. Gum disease and chronic inflammation have been linked to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and respiratory issues. Keeping your mouth healthy supports your whole body’s health.
- Prevents Tooth Loss: Tooth decay and gum disease are leading causes of tooth loss in older adults. Regular dental visits help detect early signs of problems, so they can be treated before becoming major issues — preserving your natural teeth and confident smile.
- Improves Nutrition and Digestion: Healthy teeth make it easier to chew and enjoy a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. When dental issues interfere with chewing, seniors often turn to softer, processed foods that lack nutrition. Maintaining oral health helps you eat well and stay strong.
- Enhances Comfort and Quality of Life: Dry mouth, gum sensitivity, and ill-fitting dentures can make daily life uncomfortable. Regular dental care can relieve these issues, helping you speak clearly, smile comfortably, and feel confident in social settings.

We understand that going to the dentist can make some people feel anxious or scared. That’s why we offer special relaxation options to help you feel at ease during your visit. Our Woodbridge dentist office provides safe and gentle sedation dentistry for all ages.
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Our gentle dental cleanings remove built-up plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t reach. We provide thorough cleanings for patients of all ages. Routine care can prevent cavities and gum disease while keeping your smile bright.
Dental Sealants
These thin, clear coatings are painted onto the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities. Sealants work great for both kids and adults. They act as a barrier against decay in those hard-to-clean grooves.
Dental Fillings
We can repair cavities with tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These modern fillings are strong, attractive, and metal-free. Composite fillings are a great option to preserve your teeth and create a seamless look.

Patient Review
Advanced Restorative Dentistry
Dr. Cavallo is a member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, AAID, and maintains an ongoing commitment to advanced training in the placement of all types of dental implants. We offer comprehensive dental care and treatment plans for addressing complex issues affecting the function and comfort of the bite. Dr. Cavallo offers complete restorative dentistry treatments.
Dental Crowns
When a tooth has a large cavity or is cracked and worn down, a crown can save it. This custom-made “cap” fits over your entire tooth to protect it from further damage while looking completely natural. Dental crowns restore strength so you can chew comfortably again.
Dental Bridges
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth between your existing natural teeth. The dental bridge fills empty spaces to prevent other teeth from shifting. We offer both removable and fixed bridge options.
Traditional Dentures
We recommend dentures if you’re missing all teeth in an arch. Dentures restore your smile and basic chewing function. While removable, modern dentures look more natural than ever. We customize them for comfortable fit and proper bite alignment. Our office also provides full dentures and partials.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Specialized TMJ therapy can help if you experience jaw pain, headaches, or teeth grinding. We offer customized solutions like oral appliances and bite adjustment. TMJ treatment in our office can help you treat headaches and jaw pain. It can also prevent further jaw and tooth damage.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most advanced tooth replacement option. Implants act as artificial tooth roots that fuse with your jawbone. They provide permanent support for crowns or bridges that look, feel, and function like teeth. Implants also prevent bone loss in your jaw.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant dentures combine the stability of implants with a full-arch replacement. These dentures use the support of implants so they never slip. Unlike traditional dentures, they don’t require adhesives. Implant dentures help you eat the foods you love with confidence.
From damaged and worn teeth to missing teeth, Dr. Cavallo can work with you to evaluate your needs, develop a treatment plan, and restore your natural smile. His goal is to improve your bite function and comfort.

As your cosmetic dentist, Dr. Cavallo wants you to love your smile. He can help you close tooth gaps, treat tooth stains, and fix small chips or cracks in your teeth. Dr. Cavallo offers the following cosmetic dentistry treatments in Woodbridge, VA.
Porcelain Veneers
These thin and custom-made shells cover the front of your teeth. Porcelain veneers can close unwanted gaps between teeth and cover stubborn white spots or discoloration. They can also reshape uneven or worn teeth and create a symmetrical smile. Our veneers are made from strong porcelain. They resist stains and look just like the tooth enamel.
Tooth Bonding
This quick treatment uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips or cracks in teeth. The bonding can also close small gaps between front teeth, reshape uneven teeth, and over stains. Teeth bonding takes just one visit and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
