Their Needs

Longtime Special Smiles patient Louie Berman with his dad Lou

“My name is Lou Berman, President of Louie‘s Voice: Speaking Up for Autism. My son, Louie, is severely autistic and nonverbal. He can be behaviorally challenged at times and requires a high degree of care, especially when going to the dentist. I’ve been patronizing medical providers for my Louie for over 20 years. You’ll not find a better equipped dental facility to accommodate your special needs loved one than Special Smiles. I cannot commend the Special Smiles team enough for the quality of dental care they have provided my autistic son over many years.“

Our Patients Require Sedation Dentistry

Our patients are at least 8 years of age and have developmental, intellectual, physical or psychological disabilities that prevent them from receiving routine dental care in a traditional dental office setting. Because of their disability, our patients require general anesthesia for sedation during routine dental treatment.

Some conditions that may lead to the need for general anesthesia are:

Developmental Disabilities
Intellectual Disabilities
Physical Disabilities
Psychological Disabilities

Maladaptive Behaviors
Special Health Care Needs
Dental Phobia
Airway Management Concerns for IV Sedation
