Why should I choose a special needs dentist for my child?

Every child is different. And if your little one has health problems that make their treatment difficult for any reason, a special needs dentist can help. Special needs dentists have experience with children and special needs patients of all types. From kids with sensory sensitivity, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and a variety of other conditions, our experienced team can ensure your little one gets the care they need.

Did you know…

48% of patients with special needs don’t get a yearly checkup, compared to 35% of the general population.

Stress-Free Sedation Options

No child deserves to struggle with fear or pain during treatment. Sedation options are an effective way to help your kiddo get the care they need without discomfort or anxiety. Talk to your child’s dentist to learn more about what sedation option will best fit their needs.

The Benefits of Special Needs Dentistry

Better Patient Accommodations

Your child’s dentist can do things like adjust office lighting and sound for patients with sensory issues, use special equipment to treat patients, and provide additional staff to ensure that special needs patients get the personalized care they need.

Expert Care For Every Patient

Special needs dentists know how to treat patients with a wide variety of physical, mental, and developmental impairments. Your child’s dentist will know how to keep them safe and comfortable as they get the dental care they need.

Comfort With Sedation

A wide variety of sedation options are available, which allow their patients to rest, relax, and even sleep soundly through their appointment. Sedation is a very useful tool for patients who may otherwise have trouble being treated in a traditional dental environment.

The Special Needs Dentistry Process

Initial Health Discussion

Initial Health Discussion

To begin, your special needs dentist will meet with you and/or your child, and review their medical history, records, medications they're taking, and other details. Every special needs patient is different, so it’s important for their dentist to develop a full understanding of their health and disabilities.

Oral Exam & Teeth Cleaning

Oral Exam & Teeth Cleaning

The first step toward better oral health is a comprehensive oral exam and teeth cleaning. This gives our team the opportunity to learn more about your child’s health, identify potential oral health issues, and understand the next steps for a healthier mouth.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Personalized Treatment Plan

After their consultation, your child’s dentist will discuss their oral health with you. They will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, including both any necessary in-office care and recommendations for at-home oral hygiene.

This was my first visit since moving to Houston. Dr. Nimri and the assistants were extremely nice and also knowledgeable. Best experience I have ever had at a dental office!

I have been going to Artistic Dentistry for at least 8 years and I love it here. The entire staff is caring about all my issues and they are super patient with me. I greatly appreciate them and my dental anxiety has pretty much disappeared. They are the best!

Casie L.

Artistic Dentistry is the best service hands down. Wonderful staff, procedures are explained clearly, and no up-selling to drain your pocket. They have been my dentist for seven years now and the service is always consistent. This is a beautiful establishment.
