Faculty Group Practice
Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM– 5:00 PM
The Faculty Group Practice is transitioning to a new independent dental practice, the Cambridge Dental Center, in fall 2026. Current patients will continue to be seen at our Longwood location through the transition period; however, new appointments for preventative care should be scheduled directly with the Cambridge Dental Center.
Faculty Group Practice transition
HSDM has reached an agreement with the Cambridge Dental Center, a private dental practice that will operate a dental clinic at 114 Mount Auburn Street under new ownership.
Several faculty dentists will continue to provide care to their patients at the Cambridge Dental Center; however, the new practice is independent of Harvard University and Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
To support continuity of care, existing treatment plans, patient records, insurance participation, and payment arrangements will continue in accordance with the transition agreement. Former patients will receive communications directly from the new practice with additional details regarding its anticipated fall opening.
