To give you the best possible service please make an appointment. Our health centers take payment from:

- Medicare

Be sure to bring your insurance cards with you every time you visit us.
If you are not in one of these programs, we can still help you. There are other funding sources you may be able to use, including our "sliding" fee scale. (A sliding fee scale means that you pay based on how much you earn.) To meet with a patient services representative, please call (619) 662-4100.

Many communities have clinics that charge little or nothing for dental care. They are usually run by nonprofits, community health centers, dental schools and local health departments, and they often rely on grants, donations and public funding. Some serve everyone on a sliding fee scale, while others focus on children, seniors or people without insurance. Every clinic sets its own rules, so call ahead and ask what you qualify for.
