Anxiety Free Dentistry in Silver Spring: Welcoming Special Needs Patients
Our dental office welcomes patients with dental anxiety and disabilities. Other concerns that often make it difficult to receive dental care in a traditional office setting. The home like office experience that we offer is inclusive of all patients. This includes anyone with a physical handicap that requires a stairlift for access.
Our team is warm, welcoming, and ready to help you relax in a location that feels like home. Patients can easily enter using the stairlift or a short set of steps to our front door.
We have an operatory room with a separate outside entrance and adjacent dedicated parking. This is for extremely anxious patients, those who would prefer to avoid the front desk. Patients can enter here and immediately settle into the dentist chair for a cleaning, exam, or recommended treatment.
Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy have worked with patients of all ages with a range of physical and mental challenges, including autism. We take the time to get to know each patient as an individual to address their unique needs and dental concerns. Our team makes each patient feel respected and practice patience to give the dental care they need or desire.
“I derive great pleasure and satisfaction in helping those with mental challenges that prevent them from appreciating the benefits of a healthy mouth”. Dr. Alan Dechter

Digital Dentistry: Technology & Your Teeth
Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy use advanced dental technology for the best possible patient experience and more lasting results. From the front desk to the dental chair, your care is more efficient, less invasive, and more predictable.
CEREC, laser dentistry, digital record keeping, digital x-rays, and scanning all contribute to a pleasant dental experience. It also significantly improves our ability to provide more accurate diagnoses and relevant treatment that is less invasive. We will use digital imagery for analyzing and planning a wide range of concerns and treatments. This includes looking at the appearance of a smile before the dentists completes a cosmetic dental procedure.
When you visit our dental office, ask about how our technology can enhance your dental health needs and goals. We want to help you achieve a smile that you can feel great about!

They’ve been through it all the ‘old fashioned’ way and are truly the most appreciative of what the new technologies have to offer. Their interest in the computer science behind it all never ceases to amaze me”. Dr. Alan Dechter
