The Elmwood Dental Story
Elmwood Dental Group is the leading provider of a full range of innovative, high quality dental services that maintain good oral health, maximize dental function and improve patient quality of life and appearance.
From basic dental care to dental implants and complex dental restoration services, Elmwood Dental Group Family and Elmwood Dental Group Implant & Restoration Center offer complete dental care for a lifetime. We help our patients achieve their dental health goals in a warm, supportive and professional environment.
For over thirty years Elmwood Dental Group has helped set the bar for quality dental care. Founded in 1977 by Dr. Frank LaMar Sr., the practice quickly established the reputation for professionalism with honest, comprehensive, compassionate care at the absolute highest level. Raised on this tradition of excellence, brothers Dr. Frank and Dr. James LaMar joined their father in practice in 1992 and 1991 respectively, making it a true family practice. Today, our caring and knowledgeable team of doctors, hygienists, and staff carry on this legacy of excellence by seeking out the most current continuing education training, employing the finest bio-materials, and the latest technology to meet and exceed the needs of our patients and their families. As it was in 1977, we are NOT a fast paced, insurance driven practice. We take the time necessary to reach the optimal result desired for each unique individual. We enjoy knowing our patients and their families, respect and honor the privilege of the doctor patient relationship and strive to grow our practice through our Share a Smile referral program, one trusted referral at a time.

Two Collaborative Offices, One Great Location
Elmwood Dental Implant & Restoration Center
In 2005 Elmwood Dental Group, located at S. 1950 Clinton Ave., acquired a separate but attached office location at 1960 Clinton Ave creating a unique, private space for Elmwood Dental Group's innovative and nationally recognized implant and restorative specialty practice. Here, prosthodontists Dr. Frank LaMar and Dr. Michael Baleno work closely with Dr. Jim LaMar to perform comprehensive implant and restorative dentistry of the highest order, most famously, the invention and implementation of now nationally recognized and widely adopted HYBRIDGE. Indeed, many of the most experienced and respected implant and prosthetic dentists throughout the United States now travel to Rochester, NY to train with us here at Elmwood Dental Group's Implant and Restoration Center.
