Certifications & Accreditations

 AAAHC Accreditation

This prestigious accreditation asserts our national recognition for excellence in care and service to our patients. WNY is proud to be one of a select group nationwide to be accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).

Our accreditation tells you that AAAHC\’s independent team of health care professionals has found that we meet their rigorous, nationally-recognized standards for health care services. Accreditation demands a high level of commitment and effort. It challenges us to always find better ways to serve you, and it is one more way for us to say “We care about you.”

When selecting a dental provider, AAAHC accreditation is one of the things you may consider and ask about. These are just a few examples of what the AAAHC looks for when surveying an organization. WNY meets all these qualifications and parameters.

  • Does the organization have an appropriate procedure for validating the qualifications of individuals who provide health care services?
  • Does the organization do periodic patient satisfaction surveys?
  • Does the organization have procedures in place for reviewing their quality of care?
  • Does the organization follow nationally-recognized standards in infection prevention and control practices which are established by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO)?
  • Does the organization have a risk management program designed to protect the life and welfare of its patients and employees?
  • Is there a process for identifying, analyzing, reporting and preparing an action plan for adverse incidents?
  • Does the organization encourage employee participation in seminars, workshops and other educational activities that are relevant to its mission and objectives?
  • Does the organization have a safe environment for treating surgical patients, including adequate safeguards to protect from cross-infection?
  • Are the anesthesia services provided by the organization adequately supervised by one or more physician or dentist qualified by the governing body?
  • Does the organization have the appropriate resuscitative equipment for patients receiving anesthesia?

What Our Patients Say

  • What a team! From the reception staff to the hygienists to the doctors, everyone is warm welcoming and outstanding customer service. Building is clean and organized. They don't shame you but instead educate you on dental health. All in all, the best dentist office I have ever gone to and I won't be changing any time soon!

  • I'll make it short and sweet. The staff has been absolutely phenomenal, they're always quick to get me in, and I've never had a better experience anywhere else.

  • Out of all the dentists that take my insurance, they were the only who would get me in within 24 hours for an emergency. All the rest said 3 weeks to month.

But, already in just one visit, WNY Dental has been different. I don't expect a miracle, and even if in the end, It's ....
