Cleveland Dental Institute

The Cleveland Dental Institute (CDI) is a multifaceted dental organization that serves as both a comprehensive dental clinic and a prominent educational institution for dental professionals in Ohio. Located at 30 E Apple St Ste. L328, Dayton, OH 45409, with a phone number of (937) 640-3388 and website https://cdiohio.org/, CDI is part of a larger network with multiple locations across the state, including Cleveland, Columbus, Akron, and Garfield Heights. CDI distinguishes itself by integrating patient care with robust graduate residency programs, including General Practice Residency (GPR) and Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD), as well as a dental assisting program and continuing education courses. This unique model allows them to provide world-class dental services while simultaneously training the next generation of dentists. Residents at CDI receive extensive clinical and didactic experience across all areas of dentistry, mentored by a skilled attending dental staff that includes general restorative dentists, oral surgeons, endodontists, periodontists, and pediatric specialists. They gain advanced training through medical rotations in hospital settings, including general anesthesia and emergency room experience. The range of dental services offered to patients is extensive, covering general dentistry (cleanings, X-rays, exams, fillings, crowns, veneers), cosmetic dentistry (ZOOM Teeth Whitening, braces, invisible aligners like Invisalign and ClearCorrect), restorative dentistry (dental implants, bridges, dentures), endodontics (root canals), oral surgery (tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, ridge augmentation, sinus elevation, jaw fracture management), periodontics (gum grafting, deep cleaning, periodontal osseous surgery), and emergency dentistry. CDI is particularly noted for its expertise in providing comforting dental care for children and patients with special needs, being one of only two facilities in Greater Cleveland specializing in this area. They accept all insurance plans, including Medicaid, PPO plans, and private pay, aiming to improve access to care for diverse patient populations. CDI's commitment to education is further highlighted by its accreditation by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) for its AEGD programs and its recognition as the only CDCA (Council of Interstate Testing Agencies) exam training facility in Ohio. The institution emphasizes a holistic environment that fosters diversity, collegiality, and professionalism among its residents and staff. Patients can expect personalized care with the latest technology, and CDI is proactive in communicating appointment policies, including requirements for advance notice for cancellations to ensure timely access to care for all patients.
