Our Approach to Special Needs Dentistry
For many kids, the bright lights, loud sounds, and unfamiliar sensations can feel overwhelming, and
anxiety can make communication and dental treatments even harder.
At True Dental Studio, we work with parents and caregivers to create a calm, supportive
environment, so dental visits are as stress-free as possible, helping prevent delays in
care and ensuring healthy smiles. Our approach to special needs dentistry centres around
respect, understanding, and individualised care:
- Building Trust and Rapport: We take time to understand our patients and build strong relationships with them and their parents or caregivers.
- Comfortable Environment: Our clinic is designed to be calming and comfortable, minimising potential triggers for patients with sensory sensitivities.
- Compassionate Staff: Our team understands the unique challenges faced by special needs patients and their caregivers, striving to communicate effectively and accommodate each individual's needs.
- Gentle and Personalised Care: Our dentists take a gentle approach, using sensory-friendly techniques and explaining procedures in an age-appropriate way to help patients feel safe and comfortable while addressing their specific dental health needs.
- Flexible Scheduling: We offer extended appointment times to ensure patients feel relaxed and unhurried throughout their visit.
Dental Services for Special Needs at True Dental Studio
We provide a wide range of dental services including:
| Category | Services |
|---|---|
| Preventive Dentistry | Routine cleanings (scaling and polishing), fluoride treatments, oral health assessments, X-rays, and retainers to maintain oral health and prevent future dental issues. |
| Restorative Treatments | Fillings, crowns, implants, dentures, gum and root canal treatment to restore function and aesthetics, focusing on comfort and minimal stress. |
| Oral Surgery | Tooth extractions and wisdom tooth removals with sedation options for a calm, relaxed experience. |
Our services are adapted to meet each patient’s needs, ensuring quality and personalised care.
While we strive to provide a wide range of dental services for special needs patients, certain complex treatments may require additional support. For example, procedures that need sedation or general anaesthesia (GA) will need to be referred to facilities equipped for such treatments. This helps us ensure every patient receives the safest and most appropriate care.
Preparing for an Appointment
Preparation is key to a smooth dental visit, and we’re here to support both patients and caregivers every step of the way. Here are some tips to help make the appointment go as comfortably as possible:
- Bring Comfort Items: Familiar items like a favourite toy, blanket, sensory toys or music can help provide comfort and a sense of security during the visit.
- Discuss the Appointment in Advance: Prepare the patient by talking about what to expect and the importance of oral care, so they feel more at ease.
- Communicate Special Accommodations: Inform our team of any specific needs or accommodations, so we can be fully prepared and provide the best possible experience.
