A Welcome Change of Pace for Dentistry
Correctional dentistry provides the supportive work environment that lets you “just be a dentist.”
The correctional model takes the pain out of dentistry.
- The unique working environment of correctional medicine offers dentists the opportunity for maintaining a steady practice with little or no economic burdens.
- You enjoy a steady patient load and stable work—with no concern about the patient’s ability to pay.
- No administrative headaches, such as collecting insurance payments, so you can focus on dentistry.
- Regular office hours, without being on call or providing the after-hours emergency responses often required in private practice.
A team approach means supportive, high-quality practice environment.
- You have the opportunity to interact with specialists and other medical support staff when needed, thanks to our fully staffed medical units.
- You can rely on CMS’ systems to ensure continuity of care, including confirmation of patient treatment and scheduled follow-up treatment
- CMS’ nationwide network of dentists allows you to consult with fellow professionals within your state or in another.
- Dentistry is performed as part of a medical team that treats the whole patient, with complementary services available on site, including radiology, general medicine and nursing.
CMS provides opportunities for dentists at any point in their careers.
- Because of prior limited dental care, many patients present with a wide range of dental health challenges, offering offering opportunity to review unique states of pathologic oral condition.
- For recent dental graduates in particular, correctional dentistry affords you the opportunity to develop your professional skills.
- For dentists closer to the end of their careers, correctional dentistry can allow you to simplify your service offerings, and focus on essential services such as trauma and emergency dentistry.
You can do the right thing.
- Correctional dentistry provides a vital service for people who otherwise could not afford or have access to quality dental care.
- Our dental care is the first dental service some incarcerated individuals have received in years, so work is routinely met with great appreciation.
