Every year on March 6th, dental communities across the nation celebrate National Dentist Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the vital role dentists play in promoting oral health, preventing disease, and improving smiles everywhere. The day encourages gratitude, awareness, and education, and here at UPD Dental Associates, it aligns beautifully with our mission to deliver exceptional pediatric and family-centered dental care throughout Western New York. 

At UPD Dental Associates, our mission has always been centered around delivering exceptional, compassionate, and advanced dental care to the children and families of Western New York. With five convenient locations across the Buffalo region, we take tremendous pride in our team and the high standard of care they provide every single day. [University...Dentistry] 

University Pediatric Dentistry started in 1989 as a way for pediatric dental residents to gain clinical understanding of advanced diagnostic and surgical procedures. While working at our offices, residents also gain knowledge of child psychology and clinical management, oral pathology, child-related pharmacology, radiology, child development, management of oral/facial trauma, care for patients with special needs, conscious sedation, and general anesthesia. 

Since our founding, we’ve expanded to multiple locations throughout the Buffalo region specializing in virtually every aspect of infant to adult oral health care, from simple check-ups to complex oral surgeries. We are the Western New York dental health care experts.

At UPD, we have fifteen wonderful dentists, some of which are faculty and teachers at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. They are all highly trained in their area of expertise. Our team of dentists work together to ensure the oral health of our community alongside residents, dental assistants, dental hygienists, surgical technicians, clerical staff, and administration.

That being said, let’s talk about some of the roles you will see across our seven sites.
