Naval Hospital Bremerton and branch health clinics located on Naval Base Kitsap Bangor and Naval Station Everett deliver a host of dental services such as General and Comprehensive Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Maxillofacial Radiology, Endodontics, Prosthodontics, Digital Dentistry and Dental Hygiene.
There are 15 active duty dentists, two government service dentists, and eight contracted dental hygienists who provided care to over 12,300 Active Duty beneficiaries in 2022.
That work load last year included 27,866 patient encounters, ensuring dental readiness for a growing fleet of approximately 120 commands, with a Operational Dental Readiness of 99.22 percent for 2022.
Navy Medicine Readiness Training Unit Bangor for 2022 averaged providing 200 exams a week, 220 cleanings, and between 100 and 130 routine fillings, crown, implants, root canals and other needs on a daily basis.
NMRTU Everett had a total seating number last year of 7,295.
The Dental Corps team also provides treatment support and dental services to multiple additional platforms during their selected restricted availability periods.
Notably, the dental team was also able to leverage enhanced technology in virtual surgical planning and 3D printing to perform full mouth rehabilitation, reducing the number of surgeries required for each case down to one, increased surgical predictability, and minimized Sailors’ time away from their deploying operational platforms.
