Implant Center
The School of Dental Medicine recently unveiled the Buhite-DiMino Center for Implant Dentistry and Advanced Dental Education.
- The 6,000-square-foot center, which began seeing patients last November, is located on the first floor of Squire Hall, South Campus.
- It includes six surgical suites — two of which have audio-visual monitors to broadcast surgical procedures for students — that are equipped state-of-the-art technology.
- It also has four dental units for screenings, consultations and other implant dentistry and oral health services. Each unit has a computer station and X-ray unit.
- The idea behind the center, according to officials, is to promote interdisciplinary education for dental professionals, advance clinical research and provide equal access to quality and comprehensive care to the Western New York community.
- “The Buhite-DiMino Center for Implant Dentistry and Advanced Dental Education is an incredible facility that is accelerating the swift academic and clinical growth of implant dentistry at UB,” says Stefan Ruhl, interim dean of the dental school. “Thanks to our generous supporters — Dr. Robert Buhite Sr. and Mr. Frank DiMino — we have a space that will keep UB at the forefront of oral health care in Western New York for years to come.”
- The Buhite-DiMino Center for Implant Dentistry and Advanced Dental Education represents the mission and vision of Buhite, a long-time dental school faculty member who specializes in implant dentistry, and DiMino, a friend and patient of Buhite.
