ProHEALTH Dental’s expansion is part of its clinical affiliation with CareMount Medical, New York’s premier multispecialty medical group serving the Hudson Valley and New York City – and affirms the mission and model of breaking down the barrier between medicine and dentistry. ProHEALTH Dental not only provides high quality dental care, but also educates the public about the importance of oral health as a key element of overall health.
“There is a clear connection between the health of our mouths and the health of our bodies, which is why we are pleased to announce the opening of our second CareMount Dental location, expanding our dental and medical integration model,” said Norton L. Travis, CEO of ProHEALTH Dental. “I am excited to expand our mission of helping patients understand the importance of good oral health as an important element of their overall health and well-being to the Mt. Kisco and surrounding communities.”
This is one of ProHEALTH Dental’s five major clinical affiliations, which serve over 3.5 million patients throughout the New York/New Jersey area. Through this unique clinical affiliation model, ProHEALTH Dental currently operates 14 offices, with more in development, including another CareMount Dental office opening in Yorktown Heights, NY Q1 2022.
Dr. Rao will be the lead dentist at the new Mt. Kisco location. She received her DDS degree from New York University College of Dentistry in 2009 and completed general practice residency at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Patient education and comfort is her priority. Dr. Rao devotes time for continuing education, to provide her patients with the highest standards of care. She volunteers her time to provide oral cancer awareness and is passionate about education and prevention to help her patients live a healthier life.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the second CareMount Dental office and to be furthering the mission of integrating dental and medical services,” said Dr. Deepthi Rao, who will be serving as the lead dentist at the new Mt. Kisco office. “Educating patients about the relationship between oral health and overall health will hopefully help them avoid medical issues in the future.”
