Integrated care
Jefferson Healthcare’s Dental Clinic, slated to open this spring, will be the first dental clinic in the state to address the needs of the under and un-insured and patients with Medicaid. The clinic will be co-located in the Sheridan Medical Office Building which currently houses primary care integrated with behavioral health. This allows dental services to be fully integrated into other aspects of healthcare.
Access to affordable dental care
Our 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.
