Special needs patients are also welcome at Casper Childrens Dental Clinic. We understand the dental experience can often be filled with much anxiety and headache. We utilize a patient-centered approach for helping our special patients and their families feel comfortable during dental check-ups and treatment. Our special needs patients and their families are scheduled, so they are the only patients in the clinic for their check-up and treatment visits. The individualized approach allows us to focus more time and attention on your special boy or girl.

With over 100 years of combined experience working with central Wyomings youth, the staff at CCDC sincerely cares for the kids of the Cowboy state. Please contact us today to become part of the CCDC family.

Each preventive care visit is important for keeping tabs on oral health. Here at Casper Childrens Dental Clinic we like to reward each child for having a perfect checkup. When their dental exam shows that they have been brushing and flossing and have no cavities to report, they become a member of our No Cavity Club!

We want to create healthy smiles for Wyoming's youngsters. Lean on our experience in a wide variety of cases, including sedation dentistry and dentistry for special needs patients. We see toddlers through teens, and we're happy to work with you!
