Dental Clinics
Three clinics serve uninsured patients, providing preventive and acute dental services.
About the Program
The need for preventive, quality dental care is pervasive and largely unmet. Our three dental clinics provide critical services with the help of staff dentists, hygienists and pro bono volunteers.
Our services include preventive, diagnostic, emergency and restorative oral health care to adults and children who are uninsured. A moderate fee is requested.
They include:
• Preventive — Exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, deep cleaning and digital x-rays
• Restorative — Resin fillings
• Pediatric dentistry — Exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, stainless steel crowns, pulpotomies and extractions
• Endodontic — Root canal therapy
• Crowns and bridge — Zirconium, porcelain crown, and fixed porcelain bridge
• Prosthodontics — Complete, partial, immediate dentures and denture reline
• Oral surgery — Dental implants and extractions
• Emergency — Emergency exams, dental treatment and prescriptions as needed.
