The UBC Geriatric Dentistry Program has been delivering community dental services since 2002. Today, the Geriatric Dentistry Program operates in 27 facilities with a team of dentists, dental hygienists, certified dental assistants, and is supported by a specialized team of administrative personnel at UBC. In addition to dental services, the program is also committed to education and research. The model of care is based on fee-for-service delivery of dental care, and the hope is to develop a model of care that can be available to other health regions in the province and beyond.
