"The Harvard School of Dental Medicine announced last week that it is permanently closing its Cambridge clinic, citing an electrical fire and ongoing financial challenges. In a statement to Boston.com, the school said it initially closed the 114 Mount Auburn St. location in April after an electrical fire caused significant damage and led to an extended shutdown. Combined with "current financial challenges," officials said it was "no longer sustainable" to continue operating the clinic."
""At this time, we are focusing on our clinical practice in Longwood to ensure we meet capacity and continue to maintain our educational, research, and patient service mission," Heather Denny, the senior director of communications for the school, said in a statement. According to the school's website, dental students and residents provide care under the guidance of Harvard faculty at the Teaching Practices in Longwood. This option offers "high-quality" treatment at reduced costs; however, appointments may take longer and often require multiple visits."
Harvard School of Dental Medicine permanently closed its Cambridge clinic after an April electrical fire caused significant damage and an extended shutdown. The school cited ongoing financial challenges that made continued operation unsustainable. Care for Cambridge patients has been moved to the clinical practice at 188 Longwood Ave., where the school is concentrating capacity and resources. There are no plans to reopen the Cambridge location. Dental students and residents at Longwood provide care under Harvard faculty supervision through the Teaching Practices, offering reduced-cost, high-quality treatment that may require longer appointments and multiple visits.
