Dientes Community Dental Care opened its doors in 1992 to create access to dental education, prevention, and treatment.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and one of the few “dental only” federally qualified health centers (FQHC’s) in the U.S. that offers the full range of dental services, including licensed pediatric specialists. Our ten-chair facility serves all low-income, no-income, uninsured and publically insured residents.

Our primary patient population includes diverse families as well as elderly, HIV positive, disabled, and homeless children and adults.  96% of our patients live at or below the poverty level.

Dientes accepts Medi-Cal, Healthy Families and Healthy Kids insurance (as well as some private insurance). We also offer other payment options, including a sliding scale fee schedule for low-income uninsured patients.

In addition to our clinic, which is open six days a week, we operate several programs to further serve our community, including the Outreach and Dental Affinity Programs.

We provide a critical health care safety net, ensuring that everyone, regardless of circumstance, has access to the dental care they need and deserve!
