Our Services

Correctional Dental Associates has successfully managed and provided dental services for the New Jersey Department of Corrections since 1996. We have achieved and maintained National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) Accreditation for each institutional dental clinic in the NJDOC. The majority of the NCCHC reviews have noted our dental service as either “Excellent” or “Outstanding”. We have achieved the highest level of compliance ever recorded with Dental Sick Call, Annual Recall and Routine Treatment Guidelines, over 98% in 2001 and 2002.

CDA provides dental care according to the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, the American Dental Association standards, guidelines promulgated by the Centers for Disease Control and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards, and in compliance with the New Jersey Administrative Code 10A:16, and the New Jersey Inmate Medical Services Contract.

CDA has the ability to handle all aspects of the delivery of general dental care to the state inmate population. The majority of this care is provided on site at the 26 state correctional facility clinics. The remainder of the inmate population is in halfway houses and is provided for at assigned state facilities.

CDA has the ability and the experience to provide dental services to the HIV Positive inmate population. A CDA board member successfully directed the AIDS Dental Program for the NJDOC and continues to direct HIV dental care for a federally funded hospital based program. We provide minor oral surgery on a cost effective basis. CDA has access to bilingual staff, if not available in the institution. The increasing number of Hispanic inmates necessitates bilingual capability.

CDA handles recruitment of staff, all personnel matters, including contracts, performance, liability, and payroll. CDA has established relationships for dental laboratory services, supplies, equipment, and equipment maintenance. We have the financial capability to stand as an independent contractor. CDA has the single unmatched ability to commit the largest percentage of designated funds directly to patient care because our main goal is contractual compliance and not profit.
