A Comfortable Dental Experience for Special Needs Patients

Our office is fully equipped to provide special needs dentistry in a calm, patient-centered setting. We offer modern amenities and advanced dental technology to make treatments more efficient, less invasive, and more comfortable.
For patients who need additional support, Dr. Paes offers oral conscious sedation and IV sedation to help reduce anxiety and improve cooperation during treatment.

From children with Down syndrome to adults with Alzheimer’s or mobility challenges, our team is committed to delivering personalized care with patience and understanding.

We also recognize that some patients may be more prone to dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Due to limited dexterity or cognitive challenges, maintaining oral hygiene can be difficult. Our team works closely with caregivers to provide guidance and practical strategies for maintaining good oral health at home.

In some cases, we may recommend more frequent dental visits to help prevent complications and support long-term oral health.

When I say I’m scared of the dentist I’m scared. I recently had my wisdom teeth removed with iv sedation 4 days ago. The surgeon and his assistant were amazing. They made me feel very comfortable. After the surgery of course I needed some down time that day and the next morning I was a little sore. With the medicine prescribed to me I only feel some soreness but I was able to take care of my 4 kids with no problem. I recommend Town Center Dental 100%.

The office runs on time, I was taken back not minutes after my arrival. My hygienist Jordan was excellent. She was thorough, meticulous and explained everything she was doing. Dr. Paes was great too, addressed my concerns and gave me reasonable plans going forward. I will definitely be staying as a permanent patient at Town Center Dental.

I had been putting off a dental implant for over a year - finally decided to go have it done. Absolutely NO pain whatsoever! Not sure how it’s possible - but Dr. Pais has a kind demeanor and managed the whole process without pain, including the next day. I felt nothing! Don’t put it off - I’d highly recommend Dr. Pais for the procedure!

I was so scared to get a tooth extraction and implants but everyone was so calming and reassuring during the entire procedure. The doctor told me about each step as he went; the nurse was so kind and gentle. It barely hurt at all! They did a fantastic job.
