      Expert care.
      Gentle approach.
      Tailored to every child.

      At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, we believe every child deserves high-quality dental care—especially those with special healthcare needs. Our experienced board-certified pediatric dentists are trained to provide compassionate, customized care for children with developmental, physical, cognitive, emotional, or sensory challenges.

      Who we care for

      What Makes Our
      Approach Different

      We understand that dental visits can be stressful—especially for children with special needs. That’s why we’ve designed our care approach to be patient, supportive, and individualized. Here’s how we help:

      Detailed Intake Process

      We start by understanding your child’s medical history, sensory sensitivities, communication preferences, and behavioral patterns.

      Tell-Show-Do Technique

      We explain, demonstrate, and gently perform each step to help your child feel safe and in control.

      Desensitization Visits

      We offer short, non-invasive visits to help children get used to the dental environment gradually and comfortably.

      Applied Behavior Analysis Strategies

      Our team integrates proven behavior management techniques to encourage cooperation and reduce anxiety.

      Sedation Options

      When necessary, we offer safe sedation methods tailored to each child’s needs.

      Extra Time & Attention

      Every appointment is given the time and flexibility needed for a stress-free experience.

      What Services Do We Offer?

      From preventive care to restorative treatments, we offer a full range of pediatric dental services, including:

      Special Needs Dentistry for Children

      Your Child’s
