Mobile or Facility-Based Dentistry

Bringing Quality Dental Care to You

For patients who cannot easily travel to a dental office due to mobility limitations, health conditions, or residence in a care facility, Cornerstone Dental Arts offers a safe and reliable solution: mobile and facility-based dental care.

Our team partners with caregivers, nurses, and facility administrators to deliver on-site preventive and restorative dentistry—bringing the same professional standards and compassion you’d expect in our office directly to the patient’s location.

Who Benefits from Facility-Based Dentistry

Mobile dental services are ideal for:

• Residents in nursing homes or assisted living facilities

• Rehabilitation or skilled nursing patients

• Homebound individuals or those with mobility limitations

• Patients with cognitive or developmental conditions

• Individuals with chronic illnesses or medical complexities

These patients often face barriers to traditional dental visits, but routine care remains essential for comfort, nutrition, and overall health. Our mobile program bridges that gap.

Services We Can Provide On-Site

Depending on the facility’s setup and patient needs, our mobile dental team can perform:

• Comprehensive dental exams and cleanings

• X-rays and diagnostic imaging (portable units)

• Fluoride and desensitizing treatments

• Denture care, repairs, and adjustments

• Simple fillings or noninvasive restorations

• Tooth extractions (when appropriate)

• Emergency or palliative care for pain and infection

Our goal is to maintain oral health and comfort while minimizing disruption to the patient’s daily routine.

Coordinated Care With Caregivers & Healthcare Teams

Collaboration is central to our approach. We communicate closely with caregivers, nurses, and family members to ensure that every patient’s medical history, medications, and comfort needs are fully understood before treatment.

We also coordinate with physicians and specialists when necessary to align care with each patient’s broader medical plan.
Our process includes:

1. Scheduling & Coordination – Working with facility staff to establish convenient, recurring visits.

2. Patient Evaluation – Reviewing medical background and performing a full oral assessment.

3. Treatment Planning – Recommending services appropriate to each patient’s health and comfort.

4. Documentation & Communication – Providing clear reports and updates for caregivers and healthcare providers.

This collaborative model ensures safe, comprehensive care in every setting.
