Dental Care

Integrated care

The first dental clinic in the state of Washington to address the needs of Medicaid patients and the under and uninsured of our community. Co-located in the Sheridan Medical Office Building, which currently houses primary care and integrates with behavioral health. This close proximity allows affordable dental services to be fully integrated into other aspects of healthcare.

Steps to ensure your safety

Our COVID-19 response ensures that every person entering the hospital and clinics is screened for temperature and respiratory illness symptoms. Universal masking is in place for all patients, visitors, and employees. Exam rooms and waiting areas receive extra cleanings and we have created physical distancing between patients.

Access to affordable dental care

The goal and focus is to provide preventative, restorative dentistry to our under and un-insured community members and those with Medicaid.

Preventative health

Prevention and a healthy lifestyle are important. We offer full service hygiene appointments: comprehensive oral exams for children and adults, including complete x-rays, oral cancer screening, periodontal exams, and adult prophylaxis-teeth cleaning.

Coordinated services

Seamless referral between primary care providers, specialty care, Emergency Department and the Dental Clinic. Surgical clearance for procedures conveniently scheduled within the Jefferson Healthcare system. In clinic, urgent and emergency appointment slots available daily.

Whole person care

We believe whole body heath is important and proper dental care is key. Preventative oral care can potentially eliminate painful and costly emergency visits as well as help avoid other health issues. Prenatal dental care is important piece for expectant mothers who often experience gestational gingivitis, painful inflammation of the gums.

Education

We believe education and outreach are vital to improving the dental health of our community. From children to seniors we strive to better educate.
