Dental Marketing in Buffalo, NY
The Buffalo dental market is heavily shaped by UB dental school workforce (one of the largest dental workforces in the country due to UB's enrollment scale), M&T Bank and academic medical center employer PPO, and distinct submarkets from the Elmwood Village and North Buffalo professional corridors through Amherst and Williamsville premium suburban areas, Clarence and East Aurora affluent family markets, and South Buffalo working class neighborhoods. Competitive density is high due to the dental school workforce concentration.
Buffalo's economy is anchored by healthcare (Kaleida Health, Catholic Health, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center), higher education (University at Buffalo is the largest SUNY campus, plus Buffalo State, Canisius, Niagara), the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (a major biomedical research cluster), M&T Bank (headquartered here), manufacturing (Moog, Delaware North, Praxair legacy, General Motors Tonawanda Engine), and the cross-border trade corridor with Canada.
