My Geriatric Dentist: Dr. Lisa Blumofe, DDS & Associates On-Site Dentistry

My Geriatric Dentist: Dr. Lisa Blumofe, DDS & Associates On-Site Dentistry is a dental practice specifically tailored to serve the unique oral health needs of the older adult population. Founded and led by Dr. Lisa Blumofe, DDS, who has over 20 years of experience in compassionate geriatric oral care, the practice distinguishes itself by providing on-site dental services. This means that instead of patients needing to travel to a traditional dental office, the dental team brings their services directly to the patient's location, whether it's an assisted living facility, a long-term nursing and rehabilitation center, or a private residence. The clinic's mission is to make quality dental care accessible to individuals who may face challenges attending appointments in a conventional setting due to cognitive decline, functional limitations, complex medical histories, or mobility issues. They work closely with patients, family members or powers of attorney, and facility staff to ensure a collaborative and comprehensive approach to care. Services offered by My Geriatric Dentist include a wide range of general and restorative dentistry procedures, adapted for the geriatric community. These services encompass routine exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, dental crowns, one-visit dentures, denture repair, and treatments for common geriatric dental issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss. The team emphasizes preventive care to maintain oral health, prevent pain and infection, and ultimately improve the overall quality of life for their patients. In addition to Dr. Lisa Blumofe, the team includes other experienced dentists like Dr. Sharon J. Sorensen, DDS, RN, who brings over 30 years of healthcare experience, and Dr. Jessica Sargeson, DDS. Their collective expertise and commitment to patient comfort and satisfaction are central to the practice's philosophy. My Geriatric Dentist actively works with numerous long-term care centers throughout Illinois, aiming to address the critical need for specialized and accessible dental care for seniors.
