Special Needs Care
Dental Care for Kids with Physical Disabilities
A child's physical needs should never get in the way of a healthy smile. Our brand-new, wheelchair-accessible Southpoint office is built to welcome and accommodate every family.
Accessible and accommodating
A wheelchair-friendly office and a team happy to adapt how and where we work.
Comfortable positioning
Supportive aids and the right position, taken slowly and at your child's pace.
Sedation if it helps
Safe options when holding a position or staying still is difficult.
Accessible, Accommodating Dentistry
Our office is easy to navigate, and our team is happy to adapt how and where we provide care. For children who use a wheelchair or have limited mobility, we find the most comfortable, supported position for treatment and take the time to get it right.
How We Keep the Visit Comfortable
Comfort and safety guide every choice. Here's what a visit looks like.
- 1
An accessible office
Easy to enter and move through, with room to maneuver a wheelchair.
- 2
Supported positioning
We find the most secure, comfortable position, often right in your child's own chair.
- 3
A patient pace
We move slowly, communicate each step, and never rush.
- 4
Extra support
Positioning aids and, when needed, sedation keep care gentle.
Why Comfort and Access Matter
When a child feels physically secure and supported, they can relax, and relaxed children get better, gentler care. Getting the position and the pace right isn't a detail; it's what makes a thorough, comfortable visit possible in the first place.
When Sedation Can Help
When holding a position or staying still for treatment is difficult, safe sedation options can make care far more comfortable. We'll help you choose the gentlest approach for your child.
Your child's physical needs will never get in the way of a healthy smile. We'll make care accessible and comfortable.
