We are thrilled to celebrate Dr. Jill Bresler, DMD, and her team at Special Touch Dentistry, who were honored as winners at the 10th Annual Community Champions Event on September 10th! 

Special Touch Dentistry, led by Dr. Bresler, has redefined what compassionate dental care can look like for adults with autism and intellectual or developmental disabilities. For many, a trip to the dentist can bring fear and anxiety — but at Special Touch, those worries fade the moment you walk through the door. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the ocean murals on the walls and even a life-sized classic car in the waiting room, every detail is designed to create comfort, trust, and joy. 

What makes Special Touch truly exceptional is their unwavering patience and empathy. The staff take time to get to know each person, explain procedures clearly, and ensure caregivers are part of every decision. Each visit becomes more than a dental appointment — it’s an experience that empowers and uplifts. 

For years, Special Touch has partnered with KenCrest, providing compassionate care to many of the people and families we support. Dr. Jill and her team embody those values every day, creating a space where everyone is seen, respected, and cared for. We are proud to celebrate their well-deserved recognition as Community Champions — thank you for making the world a more inclusive and welcoming place, one smile at a time.
