Thurm Dental

Special Needs Dentist in Collingswood, NJ serving South Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware.

Patients with severe disabilities often need care above and beyond that provided by a local dentist, which is why so many general dentists refer patients to us. If you have a family member with a disability, you know how essential it is to find the right dentist.

The Thurm Dental Group has become more active in this area in recent years due to the increasing demand for services for the special needs community. Patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis and other physical and developmental disabilities require an extremely high level of skill, expertise, and state-of-the-art equipment. Our office is dedicated to out-patient anesthesia services. After an evaluation visit of the special needs patient, we are able to determine if the patient can safely be treated on an out-patient basis. If not our office will make every attempt to locate another practice that can perform hospital based dental care for the at risk patient. Safety is always our foremost concern.
