Are dental insurance plans accepted?

Yes, Medicaid and some third-party dental insurance plans are accepted. Those insurance plans with out-of-network coverage are accepted. Others may or may not allow for billing for out-of-network service providers. To determine whether or not your plan is accepted, please call 658-2581 to discuss. Adults covered by Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may receive complete dentures, relines and repairs at no cost. However, Medicaid does not pay for extractions and other dental services.

Are advance appointments needed?

Yes, everyone must have an appointment.

What is the proper thing to do if I cannot keep my appointment?

Call the clinic at least the day before your appointment. If the clinic is closed the day before, call 658-2581 to cancel.

Why should I call the day before to cancel my appointment?

When notice is given someone else can be scheduled for that time.
