Sidebar
The General Practice Residency (GPR) location provides complete dental care in all areas of general dentistry. Your care will be provided by highly-qualified licensed dentists seeking additional training in advanced restorative dentistry. In addition, services can be provided under IV sedation – the deepest form of conscious sedation available in a dental office setting.
Our hospital-based facility serves the general population, but also allows for the coordination of medical and dental care for those with more complex conditions.
