DENTAL

Our clinic gives patients access to a comprehensive selection of dental procedures. These procedures include, but are not limited to:

• Exams and X-rays
• Child and Adult Cleanings
• Fillings
• Extractions
• Periodontal cleanings (scaling and root planing)
• Root canals
• Crowns
• Bridges
• Dentures and partials
• Emergency appointments

A variety of periodontal and oral surgery procedures are provided by our on-staff specialists.  These procedures are appointed upon referral by our dental team.

Preventative care starts with easy-to-understand education of dental health, which includes expectations of a daily oral care routine. In addition to oral care education, our staff hygienists and dentists will engage the patient to create a timeline of regular checkups and cleanings that will improve long-lasting dental health. This coordination of care helps to reduce the risks of gum disease, sensitivity, cavities, and other conditions.  Our hygienists provide customized care, including regular and deep cleanings and fluoride treatments.

We are pleased to provide preventative and diagnostic dental services in each of our School Based Health Centers (LINK) which includes cleanings, X-rays, screenings/Teledental exams, fluoride and sealants.  Dental screenings and fluoride programs are offered in every school in the Summit, Lake and Park RE-2 School Districts that don’t have School Based Health Centers. 

Limited restorative (fillings and extractions) services are available at Lake County High School that are appointed upon referral of the hygienist and dentist.

At the Care Clinic, we know that overall health and dental health are related. As a result, our dental services are fully integrated into primary care.  Medical and dental appointments can be scheduled consecutively to facilitate ease of service, and medical providers can refer our patients for needed dental services via our friendly and gentle hygienists located conveniently in the medical clinic.
