The Department of Dentistry at Jamaica Hospital has been providing valuable services to the community since it began in 1972, and has grown to meet the community's increasing needs. Our latest effort to meet those needs is the completion of our brand new, state-of-the-art dental center, located at 134-20 Jamaica Avenue.

The new center features a 15-chair dental clinic as well as a separate, four-chair faculty practice within its 11,000 square feet of space. It is wonderfully decorated and features all the latest, state-of-the-art dental equipment including fiber optic, high-speed drills, the latest oral cancer screening kits, and digital radiography units that will reduce the amount of radiation required to take films. The dental center also now has the ability to provide the latest techniques in sterilization and has added a paperless, computerized record, billing, and appointment system.

The spacious center has a large waiting area, with two televisions and a play area for children. It is colorfully painted and each exam room offers the patient a great deal of privacy. The staff of over 60 voluntary attendings, three hygienists, 10 residents, and a large support staff, have all been specially trained to provide the highest quality care and are dedicated to making your visit as comfortable as possible.
