Bright, modern and outfitted with the latest dental technology, our clinic renovations are taking the patient and student experience to the next level. Thanks to a historic $25 million investment in the school’s future, we are strengthening student and patient recruitment efforts through greatly improved teaching and patient care environments. To date, we've celebrated the renovation of our B30 Clinic (preclinical simulation lab), first floor post-graduate clinic, welcome center and a state-of-the-art implant clinic.
As we prepare for the future, we're focusing on the exciting next phase of our renovations, which includes a new special needs clinic, renovated orthodontics clinic and more.
The latest improvements started in 2018 with the completion of the B30 clinic, where second-year students develop their manual skills. Here, students take hand-skills based courses in spacious workplaces with large television screens that give every student a perfect view of videos and demos. In addition, the clinic has a scanning center and CAD-CAM design center for making crowns.
Dentists working in implant, prosthodontics, advanced education in general dentistry, periodontics and endodontics spend their time in the state-of-the-art first floor postgraduate clinic. Here, patients and dentists have access to best-in-class technology including more digital dentistry, intra-oral scanners, a 3D camera device, a new laser, more lab space and a digital X-ray sensor.
The Buhite-DiMino Center for Implant Dentistry and Advanced Dental Education formally opened in April 2023. The ultra-modern workstations are reserved primarily for surgical procedures to allow patients to receive dental implants. The center was built using a generous $2 million donation from the Frank DiMino Foundation.
Entering Squire Hall, patients are greeted by the spacious, inviting Stephanie T. Niciszewska Mucha and Joseph J. Mucha Patient Welcome Center. Completed in 2021, the renovation was made possible by a generous $1 million donation from Stephanie Mucha.
