Sleep Dentistry for Patients with Special Needs

If you or your loved one has special needs, you understand how challenging it can be to complete dental treatment in a typical clinical setting. As a father of a young daughter with a life-limiting condition, Dr Asad has experienced sitting on both sides of the consult table and is extremely passionate about the utmost comfort of his patients. Special needs could include patients with mobility issues, mental or cognitive concerns, or emotional or developmental disabilities.

No matter what special need or challenge you may be facing, sleep dentistry may be the perfect solution to help you get much-needed dentistry for your smile and oral health in the most comfortable manner.

How Sleep Dentistry Brisbane Helps Special Needs Patients

Dr Asad believes every patient deserves exceptional and comfortable dental care. He’s restored hundreds of smiles to health with dental sedation in Brisbane, offering IV sedation in a dental clinic or general anaesthetic (GA) in a hospital, depending on the patient’s needs. 

Dr Asad meets individually with patients or their parents, if they’re children, to determine which type of sedation is best for them. He works with several dental clinics in the greater Brisbane area and the surrounding communities of Logan, Gold Coast, Springwood, Bayside and Ipswich to provide IV sedation. He also has two local hospitals he works with for patients who would benefit from GA.

During your consultation, he will review your treatment plan and help determine the best type of sedation for your specific needs. He’ll discuss treatment and sedation costs to help you determine how to receive your care without breaking your budget. He accepts all health funds, works with several third-party companies offering affordable payment plans for patients, and provides on-site HICAPS processing to help make dental treatment accessible and affordable. We can also help you with early access to your superannuation funds for dental treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Sleep Dentistry?

Maintaining dental health is closely connected to maintaining excellent overall health. Since periodontal health can impact other non-dental concerns like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, and complications during pregnancy, maintaining good dental health is essential to protect your overall well-being.

For some patients, maintaining dental health isn’t possible without the help of dental sedation.

Sleep dentistry also makes it more comfortable for patients who need to complete multiple treatment procedures. With Sleep Dentistry in Brisbane, we can complete several procedures and sometimes an entire treatment plan during one longer appointment while the patient sleeps peacefully, reducing their stress and anxiety.

Dr Asad is extensively trained and well-equipped to help patients with special needs get the dental care they deserve so they can enjoy healthy and problem-free smiles.
