Our department has been compassionately serving
the oral health care needs of the community
for almost 40 years. We offer a full range of
Dental and Oral Surgical services, both emergent

personalized and delivered in a culturally sensitive
manner.
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive
care and support two fully accredited and specially
recognized residency-training programs with
multiple centers of excellence. Our faculty
and staff provide over 10,000 visits/ per year
in various settings such as outpatient, emergency
room, ambulatory surgery, inpatient consultations
and inpatient surgical admissions. We respond
to the needs of children, adults, the elderly,
and physically and emotionally challenged. We
also serve the needs of the indigent by offering
a reduced fee for service format as well as
accepting straight Medicaid for elective dental
services.
We provide a safety net for public access to
oral health care by offering access to underserved
communities where disparities in health care
may exist. In addition we act as a tertiary
