The Dental Center provides dental care to low-income children, persons with disabilities, and veterans. Thank you to the Delta Dental Foundation, University of Michigan Health, and the University of Michigan School of Dentistry for partnering with us to bring these services to our community.

Dental preceptors are local dentists who volunteer their time to help patients receive the care they need. They oversee the work of the U of M School of Dentistry residents.

Liability insurance is covered under the University of Michigan, and preceptors are also protected under the Good Samaritan Laws in Michigan.

Our dental practice will provide care for local children whose families cannot afford proper dental care. The CDC reports that nearly 60%  of 6 to 9 year olds from lower income families had cavaties in comparision to 40% of children from higher earning families. At the Dental Center, we are helping to close this gap.

Our space and care model are designed to be inclusive of patients with a range of abilities and needs. One of our patient rooms is specialized to create a more comfortable experience for patients who have physical, mental, and sensory needs. The space provides privacy for patients sensitive to motion occurring around them. The walls are heavily insulated to lessen the volume of sounds from outside of the room, creating a calmer environment for those who are sensitive to noise. The room can also accommodate a wheelchair.

Through our collaboration with our community referral partners, we assure we can provide care to the folks with the greatest need.
