Amaus Dental Services provides free dental care for adults without dental insurance.  Our Dentists, Dental Assistants, Hygienists, and Office workers are all volunteers.  We are a ministry of Syracuse’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.

Exams, x-rays, fillings, cleanings, routine extractions, and some other procedures recommended by the dentist. At your first appointment, the dentist will take x-rays, provide a thorough examination, and draft a Treatment Plan.  The office volunteers will, then, schedule you accordingly.  Amaus Dental Services does not offer dentures, implants, orthodontia, and other complex, costly services.  Because we see patients by appointment only, we are not, unfortunately, able to provide rapid care necessary to treat emergencies
