About This Provider
Dr. Carlos Pera is a Dental Public Health specialist at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Dentistry, located at 333 S State Street in Chicago's South Loop. Dental Public Health is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. Specialists in this field apply evidence-based science to reduce oral health disparities and expand care access across populations, with a focus on community health, prevention, and equity rather than individual treatment alone. At UIC, one of the nation's largest public dental schools, Dr. Pera works within a teaching environment where dental students and residents provide direct clinical care under faculty supervision. This academic model allows the clinic to serve a broad cross-section of Chicago residents, including Medicaid patients and individuals who face barriers to private dental care. For patients seeking supervised dental treatment in the heart of Chicago, UIC College of Dentistry provides access to dental services within a public health-focused academic setting.
