Gentle, Adaptive Dental Care for Every Patient

Our special needs dentistry services are designed to support patients of all ages with empathy, flexibility, and the clinical expertise needed to deliver safe, stress-free care.
Dr. Sumit Kaur and our experienced team create tailored treatment experiences for patients with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, developmental delays, and sensory sensitivities. Whether your loved one requires a modified environment, additional time, or sedation support, we’re here to help them feel comfortable and respected at every step.
What Is Special Needs Dentistry?
Special needs dentistry provides comprehensive dental care for patients with unique physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional needs. Treatment may involve adapting communication, modifying the clinical environment, or using sedation dentistry to make visits more comfortable and positive.
At Lucid Dentistry, our approach includes:
- Pre-visit consultations to understand medical, behavioral, or sensory considerations
- Extended or modified appointment times when needed
- Gentle introductions to the dental environment
- Low-stimulation diagnostics using digital imaging and intraoral cameras
- Safe sedation dentistry options when appropriate
- Collaboration with family members, caregivers, and medical providers
