Special Needs Patients in Stone Mountain Receive Gentle, Competent Care

If you have been searching for a dentist who provides treatment for special needs patients in Stone Mountain, then Blankenship Family Dentistry can help. Dr. Jordan Blankenship-Sniker is hospital certified and can provide care under general anesthesia in a hospital operating room if needed. Here is what she offers to our patients with special needs:

Dr. Jordan Blankenship-Sniker on treating patients with special needs

Dr. Jordan: I think our office is different from other offices in the area of special needs patients, because Dad and I have grown up in that community. My brother, Reece, has autism, and he was diagnosed when he was 3, so that kind of changed our lives and made us more aware of what's happening, and what we need to do as humans – not just dental providers – to make these types of patients feel comfortable. There are sensory issues, so loud noises is going to be a problem. Textures are going to be an issue. Dad and I have taken the time, we've opened up on Saturdays to treat these kind of patients when not everything else is going on crazy in the office. Then I, during my residency, worked a lot with special needs patients in an OR setting, where we meet the patient outside in the office, kind of get to know each other. I always directly talk to the patient, even if they don't talk back to me. Then we schedule time in the hospital and we put them to sleep with the help of an anesthesia team and we do all of their dentistry in one setting. I think our office knows not just how to converse with special needs patients, but how what we do is going to affect their parents when we take them home. So we're very aware of, you know, okay, if we do this then we need to talk about this with their parents. We try to make it as easy and seamless on them as possible.

  • Complete dental care to keep teeth and gums clean and mouths healthy
  • A gentle touch when handling the unique challenges of patients with special needs
  • No-stress dentistry, performed while the patient is asleep if required
  • Peace of mind for patients’ loved ones that they’re receiving quality dental care

Call us at 770-766-8995 today for a consultation. We will take time to fully answer any questions you have about this service.

Our Low-Stimulation Environment Relaxes Those With Special Needs

Just like the rest of our patient family, our dental patients with special needs require routine general dental care to achieve and maintain optimal health. At Blankenship Family Dentistry, we focus on total health dentistry because there is a strong connection between the health of the mouth and the health of the body as a whole. However, services like exams and cleanings can often be a challenge for patients who are sensitive to:

  • Noise
  • Texture
  • A lot of activity

Dr. Jordan has worked to create an environment that is comfortable for these patients. She and her dad open the office on Saturdays to provide a low-stimulation experience. When needed, they will book an OR and work with anesthesiologists to complete dental work while the patient is asleep.

Caregivers are a very important part of this equation as well. Our team works closely with caregivers when making decisions to ensure that they are prepared and comfortable with the steps required after dental work is complete. This united effort creates the best outcome for a special needs patient, and that’s our top priority.

Call us today at 770-766-8995 to schedule a dental consultation for special needs patients in Stone Mountain, GA. Dr. Jordan and the rest of our team are equipped to provide top-tier dental care for all.

I love Dr. Blankenship’s practice. We’ve been going to their practice for 15 years and never have we had a negative experience. The receptionists are friendly and always smiling. The hygienist encourages me to floss and is very thorough in cleaning my teeth. Dr. Blankenship is the friendliest doctor I’ve ever met! He genuinely cares about all his patients. Great practice!

Common Questions About Special Needs Patients

What is special needs dentistry?

All of us deserve to have happy, healthy smiles, especially those with special needs. We offer a low-stimulation environment that helps all our patients feel comfortable. In addition, Dr. Jordan is hospital-certified and can treat patients under general anesthesia in a hospital operating room, if necessary. No sights, sounds, or sensations will bother them. Our team works hard to ensure that everyone who needs smile care can get it.

Can special needs patients receive sedation?

Anyone can experience anxiety about their dental care, especially special needs patients. To help with this anxiety, we offer two types of sedation. Depending on the patient's needs and the work being done, we can provide either oral conscious sedation in pill form or have general anesthesia administered in a hospital operating room.

How is your special needs dentistry different?

The team at Blankenship Family Dentistry is different because we truly care about every patient. Dr. Blankenship's son and Dr. Jordan’s brother, Reece, has autism, so they understand the challenges that special needs patients have. In fact, if necessary, Dr. Jordan is certified to provide dental care under general anesthesia in a hospital operating room.
