This is a SLIDING SCALE clinic. The costs for clinic services are based on either your income or they offer type of financial assistance. Contact the clinic directly to discuss prices for individual services which vary. Sliding Scale does not necessarily mean free. For people who live on the streets or have marginal housing, minimal income, and no health insurance, dental care often becomes a low priority. The result is poor oral hygiene, dental disease, and often, tooth decay and loss.The "Smile Book" to the left shows the transformation that occurs when some of these homeless patients seek help at our clinic. In effect, the patients "get their smile back". In addition, they gain the confidence needed to apply for social services, interview for jobs, and start to rebuild their lives.Dental Services: Exams (comprehensive and emergency) X-rays Cleanings Preventive services Periodontal therapy Oral health education Cancer screenings Restorations Extractions Root canals Crowns and bridges Dentures Specialist referralsHours: Monday – Thursday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.
