Patient Services and Eligibility

Compassionate care and confidentiality are the hallmarks of the clinic. We know the confidence and self-esteem that come with a healthy smile can be life-changing.

Patient Services and Eligibility

The services are provided by local dentists who volunteer their time. Based on this unique model, we do not offer urgent care, emergency or walk-in services.
