Dental Care Resources for Veterans

Good dental health is a key ingredient in maintaining overall wellness during your lifetime. Dental-well-being is part of the big picture of health, affecting nutrition, digestion, appearance, self-esteem and everyday comfort, to name a few. And you play a role in your own oral health and hygiene. Working with your dentist and other oral health care professionals, you and your family can take the right steps today to maintain good dental health for years to come.

We provide dental care services from our Norwich and Binghamton facilities for people of any age, from children to the elderly. And we offer many treatment options, such as anesthesia or sedation, for patients with special needs, those who are medically compromised, or who have severe handicapping limitations.

In addition, we provide dental screenings for oral cancer, and special treatment for patients who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, both pre-and post-surgically, for head or neck cancer.

We promise that you will always be treated with courtesy and respect at the Dental Services center, and that we will provide you with the most advanced techniques and clinical excellence available in the care of the teeth and mouth. Whether you are a new patient, or have been with us for some time, you can expect the same high level of caring, service and expertise.
