BronxCare Dental Services

BronxCare Dental Services operates as a comprehensive dental clinic, serving as a department within the larger BronxCare Health System. This system, which also includes the BronxCare Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Health Center, is a prominent provider of health care services in the South and Central Bronx, an area designated as medically underserved. The dental department offers a wide array of services for both adults and children, aiming to address the integral relationship between oral health and overall systemic health. The main clinical campus is located at 1775 Grand Concourse, a facility boasting 45 dental treatment rooms. This site is well-equipped with modern technology and features dedicated areas for different specialties, including adult and pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. The facility's surgical suite, for instance, includes seven fully equipped surgery rooms with an expanded recovery area. Other services provided include restorative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, implants, crowns, bridges, root canals, treatment for gum disease, and cosmetic procedures like tooth whitening. Beyond the main location, BronxCare Dental Services provides care at several other sites throughout the Bronx, including the BronxCare Ogden Family Medical and Dental, BronxCare Medical and Dental at Poe, and the BronxCare Special Care Center. This multi-site approach ensures accessibility for the local community. The department is also committed to education and training, with nationally recognized residency programs in General Practice, Pediatric Dentistry, and Orthodontics. These programs are dedicated to serving the underserved population and training underrepresented minorities in the field of dentistry. Referrals to the dental program come from BronxCare physicians, the outpatient network, the emergency room, and private practitioners, reflecting its central role in the community's healthcare system.
