Why it matters for dental

Dental school leaders and specialty programs gain a new referral and training resource; practices may see expanded referral pathways for patients with complex medical needs once the center opens.

Key points

  • Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine received a $15 million gift to establish the R. William Cornell, Jr., DDS and Chloe T. Cornell Oral Health Center for Individuals with Special Needs.
  • The center will offer pediatric dentistry, advanced general dentistry, craniofacial orthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery alongside coordinated medical, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social services, and nutrition teams.
  • The gift also funds the school’s first endowed professorship in over 130 years.
  • The center is scheduled to begin patient care in early 2027 in a five-room operatory space within the existing dental clinic.
