What to Expect

We work toward this through a multiple step process that includes:

• Multiple short visits scheduled closely together to allow kids feel comfortable in our office

• Consistency of the same private room with TV

• Setting goals at each appointment, either small or large but individualized based on each child’s needs in order to set realistic expectations for both kids and parents

• Flexibility to make accommodations as needed

• Wheel chair accessible rooms

• Weighted blanket, wireless headphones and fidget toys

• Consistency of the same highly trained personnel

The dental visit will start with an initial assessment to get a feel for your child’s specific needs. We will set customized goals at each visit that may be as small as laying in the chair or as large as completing the entire appointment. We welcome parent’s participation, but at times we may feel we need one on one focused attention with your child. To help achieve a positive outcome we recommend morning appointments when your child is fresh and awake as well as non-busy times of the year when the office tends to be quieter and less distracting.

Making Time for a Positive Experience

We understand that building trust takes time, and we're here to support your child every step of the way. Our goal is to create a positive, successful experience—no matter how many visits it takes. With your partnership and patience, we can help your child feel safe, confident, and cared for at the dentist. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
