Description of Services

SLDDS’ primary goal is to make quality preventative and restorative dental treatment accessible to our community’s underserved. The clinic’s programs include: emergency care, preventative and periodontal maintenance, restorative care (fillings, crowns, bridges), and an extensive denture and partial program. Our volunteer dental professionals work five days a week, seeing an average of 20 patients a day. Patients are given the same options they might have if seeing a dentist in a private practice but because of ongoing community support, SLDDS is able to provide most of our services at no cost to the patient.
