At Norwest, we understand and celebrate that every child has unique needs. As a specialist paediatric dental practice, we provide the highest quality tailored dental care for children with disabilities, complex medical requirements and genetic conditions. We’re here to create a safe, supportive environment where your child receives personalised care.
Before your child’s appointment, we work with you to understand their needs, likes and dislikes, preferred communication stye and any adaptations that will help make their visit more comfortable. We’re committed to creating a supportive environment, and service animals are always welcome.
Our clinic is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a spacious waiting area, large treatment rooms, and convenient lift and wheelchair access. We also offer accessible parking and bathrooms to ensure a comfortable experience for all families.
We are equipped to treat children with disabilities effectively and comfortably. This includes access to high quality day surgery facilities and paediatric anaesthetists.
We understand the unique time requirements for treating children with disabilities and offer flexible appointment times—whether shorter or extended—to ensure each child receives care at their own pace and comfort level.
Your child will receive a personalised treatment plan tailored to support their specific needs, including any disabilities, medical conditions, or medications.
We maintain strong relationships with other healthcare providers, enabling coordinated care for children with complex requirements.
If your child has a disability and/or complex medical history, we understand that dental visits can present frustrations and challenges. Beyond the immediate stress of organising and getting your child to the appointment, you’ve likely had to talk through your child’s medical history with countless professionals.
To make the process easier, we offer flexible ways for you to provide us with the information we need. Whether through discussions with your child’s clinician, sending documents by email before the appointment, or phone consultations, we are here to accommodate your preferred method of communication.
Feel free to bring as many support people as needed to ensure a successful visit for your family. At Norwest, we are committed to making your experience as smooth, comfortable, and reassuring as possible.
Our team of paediatric dental specialists, surgeons, and oral health therapists work together to provide expert care for every child.
Our goal is to create a calm, positive experience—offering options like happy gas and distractions, such as watching an iPad. Our team will ensure your appointment runs quickly, smoothly and with minimal discomfort for your child.
We’re here to guide you and your child with care and compassion at every step. We’ll explain what’s happening and the procedure thoroughly to you, and use age-appropriate language to help your child feel at ease and prepared.
