Special Needs Dentistry

It can be difficult for people with special needs to lie still or follow directions in a traditional dental office. At Dental Anesthesia Associates, we offer multiple types of sedation, including sleep dentistry for patients over 16 years old, to ensure your family member is comfortable throughout the entire procedure.

Our office is one of the very few general dentistry practices in New Jersey that provides out-patient anesthesia services. After the initial evaluation, we will determine if we can safely treat your loved one at our dental office. If not, we will make every attempt to locate another dental practice that can perform hospital-based dental care. Our first priority is always the patient’s safety and well-being.

Providing comprehensive preventive and therapeutic dental care to patients who have special healthcare needs is an important aspect of our anesthesia care.  Our office treats adult patients under sedation who cannot cooperate or tolerate the traditional dental serting. We treat all patients with respect and  seek to ensure maximal health for all, regardless of developmental disability or other healthcare issues.

Dental care for patients with special needs requires specialized knowledge acquired by additional training, as well as increased awareness and attention, adaptation, and accommodative measures beyond routine treatment. At our office, we have 35 years of experience, and a highly professional team, who can provide high quality dental care while keeping in mind the unique nature of each patienet.
