When she was 9 years old, my autistic spectrum daughter fell and knocked out one of her front teeth, and broke off part of the other front tooth. Because of her sensory and emotional issues, we decided not to push her into getting her teeth fixed until she felt ready and was comfortable with what was involved. A great deal depended upon finding a dentist who she felt comfortable with, and who felt comfortable working with an autistic patient.
When we first interviewed Dr. Clemetson, we knew we had found the right dentist. He listens to you. He encourages your questions. He does not rush you and is willing to take as much time as you need to ask all the questions you like. He clearly explains all of your options, not just the ones he would choose if he were you, or just the most expensive options. He explains the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and lets you decide what you want. For my daughter, that choice was a dental bridge, rather than an implant/crown combination.
Dr. Clemetson and his staff treated my daughter with respect and consideration. She now has a beautiful, natural looking smile, while undergoing a minimum of stress throughout the procedure.
About Hygienist: Michelle is wonderful, too. Very gentle and considerate, and does a wonderful job on my daughter's teeth.
