Two Fully Equipped Chairs
Restorative, preventative, surgical, and prosthetic procedures delivered on campus for veterans and families.
Village 5 Digital Dental Suite
A two-chair, full-service dental clinic inside Village 5 with on-site digital imaging, 3D scanning, same-day crown milling, and emergency oral care. Built to eliminate untreated dental disease and restore confidence for veterans and their families without off-island referrals.
Why Dental Care Matters
Untreated dental issues drive chronic pain, infection, poor nutrition, and confidence loss — all of which undermine reintegration. Bringing full-service dental care on campus removes a major barrier to stability, employability, and overall health for veterans and their households.

Dental Suite Concept Layout
This concept floor plan illustrates how a complete two-chair digital dental clinic fits within a compact, container-based footprint while preserving proper clinical flow, imaging isolation, sterilization standards, and sound control.
The layout supports clean one-direction sterilization flow, isolated CBCT imaging, on-site CAD/CAM fabrication, and sound-controlled mechanical systems—allowing same-day restorative and surgical care without off-island referrals.
Built Into Village 5
The dental suite sits within Village 5’s health and wellness footprint, alongside counseling, behavioral health, and family services. That placement keeps care accessible, private, and coordinated with the campus clinical team.
Island Resilience Role
During disasters, the on-site dental suite reduces load on local hospitals by providing emergency oral surgery and trauma management. It strengthens St. Croix’s medical readiness while keeping veterans’ care online.
