The
Staten Island University Hospital
Dental care Center is a comprehensive
dental clinic that is part of the larger
Northwell Health system. It provides a wide array of dental services for both adults and children, including general dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery,
pediatric dentistry, and more. The center is well-equipped to provide care for patients with diverse needs, including those who are medically compromised or have special needs, offering services such as sedation and general anesthesia when required.
The center's services include routine check-ups, cleanings,
fillings, extractions, root canals, and cosmetic dentistry. In addition, it specializes in more complex procedures such as dental implant placement, bone grafting, surgical treatment of oral pathology, and reconstructive surgery for jaw and facial injuries. The center also provides 24-hour emergency dental coverage, with dental residents on rotation to assist patients in the hospital's Emergency Department.
As a teaching institution, the Staten Island University Hospital Dental Care Center has a residency program for dental medicine. Residents, under the guidance of experienced attending professionals, provide care in various specialties, including periodontics, orthodontics, and prosthetics. This educational environment ensures that the center stays at the forefront of modern dental practices and technology, while also providing a high level of supervised care for patients.
The center's affiliation with Northwell Health, a prominent healthcare provider in the New York area, gives it access to a wide network of medical professionals, allowing for integrated medical and dental care. This is particularly beneficial for patients with complex health issues, as their dental care can be coordinated with other medical services.
