Detailed Introduction

Special Touch Dentistry is a highly specialized dental clinic located in Philadelphia, PA, focusing on providing comprehensive and compassionate oral healthcare for adults with special needs and autism. The practice is family-owned and operated by a team of dedicated dentists, including Drs. Joshua, Jason, Rachel, Jill Bresler, and Jordee Shapiro. Their mission is to provide expert care in an environment that is safe, comfortable, and tailored to the unique challenges faced by their patients. The clinic sets itself apart with its patient-centered approach. They recognize that each patient has different needs, and their care process begins with a thorough assessment and communication with the patient and/or their caregiver. This allows the team to develop an individualized treatment plan that considers the patient's specific sensitivities, medical history, and communication skills. They offer various accommodations to ensure patient comfort, such as the use of noise-canceling headphones, weighted blankets, and different sedation options, including general anesthesia when necessary, performed at affiliated surgical centers. Special Touch Dentistry offers a wide range of services, including preventive care, routine exams, cleanings, fillings, and major restorative work. They are a trusted "dental home" for numerous special needs organizations and families in the Philadelphia area, meaning they are the primary source for all their patients' dental needs. The clinic's commitment to the special needs community extends beyond their practice, as they are involved in philanthropic efforts with organizations like the Special Olympics. Their staff is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, with some even learning American Sign Language (ASL) to better communicate with their patients.

I rarely leave reviews —however this place has been absolutely amazing!! My son Gavin has special needs. He is extremely sensitive with major sensory issues.

Dianne and all of the dentists have been wonderful every time in working through this with Gavin and he has no problem at all any longer at the dentist! He sits through the exam and the cleaning and leaves happy -no tears! Best experiences ever and we had tried at least 4 other places before finding Special Touch Dentistry! Highly recommend! So grateful for the very talented, skilled, and caring professionals and the kind receptionists as well. Thank you Special Touch Dentistry!

Awesome is all I can say. The staff took their time so that my daughter with DS felt comfortable. I was impressed with their ingenuity at getting my daughter to cooperate, which included singing Disney songs. That did the trick! Thank You for taking care of special needs in a special way.

This dental office is absolutely amazing!My husband has a brain injury and has special needs. This dental office was highly recommended to us. From when you enter the door you are welcomed by the receptionist whom is friendly, kind and organized! The hygienists that worked on my husband were very patient ,kind and did a fantastic job. Dr. Jill Bressler was the dentist he saw. She is so attentive to his needs, so patient ,so kind and explained everything that he needed to do to help heal the problem he was experiencing at that time.

We followed her advice and soon after his mouth felt good. I observed the kindness of everyone working there how the speak so empathetically to the patients and their caregivers. What a bunch of angels all of you are!This place is also kept extremely clean. If anyone is blessed to have a special needs person in their life I highly recommend this special dental office. Their “Special Touch” makes all the difference! Mindy M.
