What Is Special Needs Dentistry?
Special needs dentistry refers to dental care tailored for patients who may require:
- Modified communication or explanations
- Extra time during appointments
- Sedation or comfort aids
- Physical assistance for mobility or positioning
- Behavioral management support
Our dental team is trained to treat children, teens, and adults with a wide range of conditions, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, sensory processing disorders, mobility challenges, and more. We work closely with families and caregivers to create a care plan that fits the patient’s health history, comfort level, and goals.
Accommodating Every Patient’s Needs
To provide the best possible care, we offer:
- Flexible scheduling and extended appointment times
- Calm, quiet exam rooms to minimize sensory stimulation
- Gentle techniques and step-by-step guidance
- Sedation dentistry options for patients with anxiety or difficulty sitting still
- Collaboration with caregivers to ensure patient safety and comfort
We believe in treating the whole person — not just their teeth. That means listening to your concerns, adjusting our approach when needed, and always respecting your family’s preferences and boundaries.
Services Offered for Special Needs Patients
Patients with disabilities receive the same full-service dental care available to all of our patients, including:
- Cleanings and exams
- Fluoride treatments and sealants
- Fillings and restorations
- Tooth extractions
- Pediatric dental care
- Preventive education and nutritional guidance
We also provide sedation options — including nitrous oxide or oral sedation — when appropriate, with a focus on safety and informed consent.
Partnering with Families and Caregivers
We understand that no one knows the patient better than their family. That’s why we:
- Encourage caregiver involvement in treatment planning
- Welcome pre-visit walkthroughs to help patients become familiar with the space
- Offer take-home tools and education to support dental care at home
- Provide continuity of care across visits to build familiarity and trust
Our goal is to build a long-term relationship that supports both the patient’s oral health and overall well-being.
