Comfortable Visits With Sedation Options
Sedation creates a worry-free experience for special needs patients who struggle with dental anxiety, sensory challenges or difficulty sitting still. Dr. Ross selects the safest and most appropriate form of sedation based on age, medical history and treatment needs.
Sedation options available at Ross Dental include:
- Nitrous oxide for mild relaxation
- Oral conscious sedation for a deeper calming effect
- IV sedation for extensive procedures or higher anxiety levels
Our team guides patients and caregivers through each step so everyone feels supported and informed from start to finish.
What Special Needs Dentistry Includes
We tailor care plans for patients with developmental, cognitive, physical and behavioral needs. Treatment may involve one or several shorter appointments, slower pacing or additional time for desensitization.
Services include:
- Routine cleanings and exams
- Restorations, fillings and emergency treatment

- Preventative treatments to protect long-term oral health
