Texas will soon be home to a new state-of-the-art dental facility for special needs patients, according to a news story in the San Antonio Business Journal.
Construction on the Trinity Surgery Center, located in San Antonio, will begin this week, the Journal reported. It is said to be the first such facility in the state.
The clinic will provide care to special needs patients such as those with a dental phobia, autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, head and spinal cord injury, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, hypertension, muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anemia, renal disease, and transplant survivors, as well as those undergoing chemotherapy, the Journal reported.
"This is the first dental surgical center to be designed and built in Texas for patients who are unable to receive comprehensive dental treatment in a traditional setting," said Henry Chu, D.D.S., one of the venture partners, in the story.
Construction on the 6,500-sq-ft facility should be completed this summer.
