OFFERING ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE

The clinic provides a wide range of dental services for low-income and homeless persons in San Antonio and Bexar County. The Clinic is unique in the area as the only agency providing free dental care primarily volunteer providers.

WHY DON'T THEY RECEIVE CARE?

Some are homeless, some are single mothers, others are unemployed, victims of abuse, many work, yet remain in poverty, others may be recovering from substance abuse, and many are elderly or disabled.

THE NEED IS GREAT

Each year the San Antonio Christian Dental Clinic performs $3 million dollar's worth of free dental care. We take anyone from Bexar County who lacks the means to afford quality dental care.

ACUTE NEED FOR THE WORKING POOR

Hundreds of low-income elderly and disabled persons live below the poverty level in San Antonio and Bexar County, and most have no dental insurance. Dental benefits are usually not available for seniors in Medicaid programs.

CLIENTS OF HAVEN FOR HOPE

In addition to caring for our community’s low-income residents, The Clinic provides dental care for the Haven for Hope members. The clinic includes 12 dental treatment rooms and 4 surgery suites.

UTHSCSA COLLABORATION

The University of Texas Health Science Center-SA Dental School senior dental students provide general dental and hygiene care and Advanced Education in General Dentistry residents provide specialized treatment under the supervision of dental school faculty throughout the year.
