Our Services for Autistic Kids and Adults

Many dentists for people with autism offer a limited number of services. In general dentistry practices, these services may be limited to tooth cleaning. When you choose NOVA Dental Anesthesia as your autism-friendly dentist, you get access to the full array of dental products and services:

  • Sedation dentistry: When looking for a dentist for kids with autism, this is often the service parents want. Sedation dentistry practices allow the dental team to calm the patient with anesthesia while performing the procedure.
  • General dentistry: Thanks to the sedation dentistry discussed above, we can provide all the standard dental services for autistic children or adults. You have access to everything from preventative dentistry to caps, crowns, and fillings.
  • Cosmetic dentistry: Many situations may lead to broken, chipped, or uneven teeth. Our cosmetic dentistry services allow us to repair most cosmetic mishaps using tools like veneers. 
  • Dental implants: Many people lose teeth at some point in their lives. We offer a range of dental implant services, allowing us to replace a single tooth or provide a more comprehensive product with our All-on-4® implant solution
  • Teeth whitening: Cleaning and whitening teeth can significantly boost a patient’s self-esteem, especially if they’ve never had access to high-level dental care.

These are just a few of our offerings, and we’d be happy to support you with your autism-friendly dental needs. If you require a specific service, contact us to discuss the details or make an appointment.

Benefits of Visiting NOVA Dental Anesthesia

Whether you require a dentist for kids with autism or autistic adults, NOVA Dental Anesthesia can help, offering the following benefits:

  • Consistent caregiving: Our anesthesiologists become a constant in each patient’s journey, from the initial dental consultation to the sedation, ensuring the patient suffers minimal disruption.
  • Access to anesthesia: Most dentists cannot provide anesthesia for every procedure. When you choose sedation dentistry for autistic patients, we can ensure the patient is anesthetized and remains calm enough for any procedure. 
  • Hospital-trained anesthesiologists: Our in-house anesthesiologists are hospital-trained, meaning they can easily deal with most situations.
  • Comprehensive dental offering: We don’t limit our dental offerings for autistic patients. You have access to all of our products and services.
  • Reduced risk: Many dental procedures can be unsafe when combined with an uncooperative patient who isn’t fully cognizant of their surroundings. Sedation dentistry limits the potential risks and helps keep the patient safer. 

Don't Let Autism Hide Your Smile
