Geriatric Dentistry
Elders in PHC's residential care facilities have enhanced access to dental care as part of an innovative program developed in partnership with UBC's Faculty of Dentistry. The overall goal is to improve the quality of life of residents through good oral health.
In partnership with the UBC Geriatric Dentistry Program, residents are able to have an annual oral examination completed, for a fee, at their residential care home. The fee is paid through the resident's trust fund account.
Restorative procedures and extractions are performed three satellite clinics located at Brock Fahrni, Langara and Youville Residence. Complex procedures are performed at the UBC Dental Clinic or at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital. Some fees may apply.
