Operating room dentistry may be considered for select patients who cannot comfortably or safely complete dental treatment in a routine office setting. This may include patients with special needs, developmental disabilities, medical complexity, physical limitations, severe anxiety, extensive treatment needs, or extreme difficulty tolerating routine dental visits.
No. Operating room dentistry is an important option for many special needs patients, but it may also be considered for medically complex patients, patients with severe anxiety, patients with physical limitations, or patients who need extensive dental care that is difficult to complete over multiple office visits.
The treatment depends on the patient's diagnosis and needs. It may include x-rays, cleanings, fillings, extractions, periodontal care, or other appropriate treatment that can be safely coordinated in that setting. A consultation is needed to determine whether operating room dentistry is appropriate.
