Anxiety Free Dentistry in Silver Spring: Welcoming Special Needs Patients
Our dental office welcomes patients with dental anxiety, disabilities, and 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 place that “feels like home”. Our office is located in a former residential 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 not to, or anyone who can benefit from avoiding the front desk. Patients can enter here and immediately settle into the dentist chair for a cleaning, exam, or recommended treatment.
Through the years, 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 them and address their unique concerns so that they can feel respected as individuals and receive 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
Relationship Dentistry
Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy feel it is important to develop a relationship with each and every patient. One that is based upon communication and patient education. Through these efforts, we hope to gain your trust in our dentistry and to build a lasting doctor patient relationship that will support both oral and overall health and well being.
From your first visit with us, we take the time during appointments to perform a thorough evaluation of your oral health. We will also discuss your lifestyle habits, oral hygiene routine, and medical history. Our goal is to gain an in depth understanding of the factors impacting your smile so that we can provide the proper care.
Digital Dentistry: Technology & Your Smile
Dr. Dechter and Dr. Moy use advanced dental technology for the best possible patient experience and more accurate, lasting results. From the front desk to the dentist chair, your care is made more efficient, less invasive, and more predictable using an array of technology.
CEREC, laser dentistry, digital record keeping, digital x-rays, and scanning all contribute to dental care that is more pleasant for you as a patient. It also significantly improves our ability to provide more accurate diagnoses and treatment that is less invasive, targeting your specific needs. 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, 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.
“Believe it or not…..the most rewarding cases are those involving my senior citizens. 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
