Meet Our Dentist
Jamal Wells DDS, M.Ed.
General Dentist
Dr. Jamal Wells is a general dentist with a background in public health, education, and patient-centered care. Since 2020, he has provided comprehensive dentistry to adolescents, adults, and older patients across New York, with an emphasis on reducing fear, rebuilding trust, and promoting long-term engagement in care.
His clinical approach prioritizes minimally invasive, anxiety-conscious treatment. He frequently uses nitrous oxide (N₂O) to support patients with high dental anxiety, particularly those returning after long gaps in care or with prior dental trauma. While trained in surgical and restorative procedures, his focus is on helping patients avoid sedation-heavy treatment plans and re-establish sustainable dental care.
Dr. Wells is a co-founder of Wells Dental, a Tucson-based practice focused on Medicaid accessibility, prevention-first care, and community health innovation.
He is also active in education and outreach, including faculty teaching at the University at Buffalo, youth enrichment programs, and international dental missions, with a broader goal of building systems that support both patients and providers.
