Special Needs Dentistry
Visits paced, staffed, and planned around what your child needs to get through them.
Dental care planned around your child rather than around a standard appointment slot. That covers children with autism, sensory sensitivities, developmental differences, medical complexity, and physical disabilities.
It starts with a conversation before the visit, so we know what helps and what sets your child back. From there we build the appointment around it: quieter timing, fewer people in the room, and a familiar face each time.
When a visit is planned properly, more gets done and less goes wrong. Over time your child learns that the office is predictable, which is what makes the next visit easier than the last.

Yes. For most children a parent nearby makes the visit go better, and you know your child far better than we do.
We can usually schedule when the office is calmer. Ask when you book and we will find a slot that suits your child.
