2020 Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards

42 GHP / 2020 Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards , Sep20572 Best Multi-Specialty Dental Office - New England Based in Boston, CDMR is a boutique dental clinic with patient satisfaction at its heart. Dr BiNa Oh, one half of the founding duo, tells us more. Center for Dental Medicine & Reconstruction (CDMR) is a multi- specialty office encompassing prosthodontics, periodontics, cosmetic, and implant dentistry with an emphasis on rehabilitating and improving dental health, function, and aesthetics. Co-founder, Dr BiNa Oh, tells us more about the firm and its unique offering. “It is a boutique dental office that stresses on patient focused, quality driven comprehensive and complex care management through close synergistic collaboration of in-house restorative and surgical specialists to optimize the patient experience,” she begins. “The practice utilizes modern state-of-the-art equipment to promote patient comfort, treatment quality, and accuracy.” Founders Dr Chan (Prosthodontist) and Dr Oh (Periodontist & Implant Surgeon) have contributed a decade of their careers as clinicians and educators. A few of their professional recognitions include 10 Under Ten by MA Dental Society, Excellence in Clinical Teaching Award by Tufts University, America’s Top 40 Under 40 Dentists, and Boston Magazine’s Best Dentists multiple years running. They have lectured, published, and has contributed to advanced dental education at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, MA for over a decade. “CDMR offers unique opportunity for patients to experience advanced collaboration of in- house experts and professors in a private practice setting with personalized attention,” continues Dr Oh. “We provide simple to complex procedures such as cleanings, fillings, crowns, teeth whitening, Invisalign, cosmetic/ functional reconstruction, complex periodontal therapy, bone regeneration, and implant surgery and restoration.” CDMR is always looking for ways to improve patient experience and treatment outcome by incorporating advanced equipment and technology. Staying at the forefront of emerging industry developments is just one of the ways that CDMR distinguishes itself from competitors. “As dental specialists, we continually follow and update ourselves with the latest developments within each of our respective specialty fields. The nature of our synergistic collaboration allows us to meld all of the developments from each field, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of the dentistry and oral health care.” “CDMR’s specialists apply their extensive knowledge and experience to evaluate new developments and appropriately meld novel technology to the fundamentals of traditional therapy to enhance patient experience, maximize predictability, and achieve the best possible outcome. The most recent engagement of the practice is incorporating three- dimensional imaging with intra-oral scanning and 3D printing to plan complex surgical and prosthetic reconstructive cases. As a result, we have seen improved treatment accuracy, patient communication and education of planned treatment.” One of the most recent and significant challenges the field of dentistry and oral health care has faced is responding to the Covid-19 pandemic. “The hands-on nature of the profession requires close proximity to patients and aerosols that may be generated during many of the procedures creates an infection control challenge that induces understandable fear and anxiety amongst patients and providers equally,” Dr Oh explains. “However, we strongly believe the field of dentistry amongst any healthcare fields, is one of the best-trained in infection control. We strive on a daily basis, to review developments and adapt to protocols and recommendations to protect our patients, providers, and staff to the best of our abilities.” Although CDMR is still in its infancy compared to many established dental offices in the Boston area, the founders have associated in many practices for over a decade. Their exposure and experiences from various practices ultimately gave birth to the unique environment of CDMR, as they combined the best aspects of each experience while incorporating their own vision and creativity.
