It’s hard to find the right dentist when you or your loved one has special needs. Children with autism or ADD find it difficult to sit still for a dental treatment. Seniors with Alzheimer’s or other dementias are not able to care for their own teeth properly. Even healthy adults with a good dentist may face dentist phobia, finding it difficult, if not impossible, to make an appointment and schedule a basic exam or cleaning.
Finding the right dentist is a challenge for anybody, but it’s especially challenging for families and individuals with special needs because not all dentists treat patients with special needs. Some do not have the training required to deal with special medical requirements. Others don’t have offices that are adequately equipped or staffed to help people with special needs. Many simply don’t understand the needs of patients with special circumstances.
Where can you find a special needs dentist?
The Blende Dental Group has worked with patients from all over the world. Patients have traveled from more than 30 states and 18 countries to come to our San Francisco dentist office and have their smiles restored by our team of specialists.
We help our patients in any way we can—and that includes making long-distance visits possible by assisting with travel coordination so that our patients get the dental care they need—no matter where they live.
We’ve helped many of our long-distance patients coordinate travel and lodging accommodations, and we may be able to plan treatments so that all dental work can be completed during a single trip.
One-Sleep-Visit™ Total Dentistry Method
Combining our dedication to helping special needs patients with our One-Sleep-Visit Total Dentistry Method has allowed us to serve people who otherwise would find it impossible to obtain proper dental health care.
Our One-Sleep-Visit treatment process starts with an exam, which helps us determine a patient’s needs and a course of treatment. Next, we perform dental work in a single visit while our patient sleeps soundly and painlessly. This allows us to do a large amount of dental work in a short amount of time.
We’ve made single-visit treatments possible by bringing together a team of specialists. Rather than send our patients to endodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons, we bring these specialists to one location and they work together to get all of our patients’ work done in a single visit. Instead of having a course of treatment completed over months, the work is done in a few days.
After the single-visit procedure, we conduct a follow-up visit and final consultation in which we finish the dental treatment and set our patients on a course for regular dental health maintenance.
