UR Medicine Eastman Dental – Complex Care Center

The UR Medicine Eastman Dental – Complex Care Center is a specialized dental clinic situated within the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC). As part of the Eastman Institute for oral health, it offers comprehensive dental services with a unique focus on serving patients with complex medical needs. This includes adults with chronic childhood-onset conditions such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental disabilities, as well as seniors and individuals with dental anxiety. The center distinguishes itself by providing an integrated and coordinated approach to care. The team consists of fully trained dental residents, who are overseen by expert faculty dentists. This model allows the clinic to offer a broad spectrum of services, including general dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics. The clinic also provides specialized care for conditions like TMJ disorders and cleft and craniofacial disorders. A key aspect of the Complex Care Center's mission is to facilitate a seamless transition for patients moving from pediatric to adult healthcare. The clinic's staff, which includes physicians with specialized training in both adult and pediatric medicine, works closely with patients and their families to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. The center also provides on-site services like behavioral health counseling, nutritional counseling, and physical and occupational therapy, making it a comprehensive "medical home" for its patients. The center's location at 905 Culver Rd in Rochester, NY, is part of a broader effort to centralize care for this specific population in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes regions. It accepts most insurance plans, including Medicaid, and aims to make dental care accessible and affordable.
