Dental Services
Dental services include exams, x-rays, dental and health care instructions, cleanings, fillings, extractions, full dentures, partial dentures.
If you are experiencing an URGENT DENTAL PROBLEM, you may come to the Dental Emergency Clinic. A dental emergency is defined as dental pain, discomfort, swelling, and signs/symptoms of infection. You must be present at 8:15am Monday, Wednesday or Thursday with all necessary documents.
This is a lottery drawing not "first-come, first-serve" program based on dentist availability. There is no guarantee you will be seen the day you come.

Costs
There is no fee charged to you for services at Matthew 25. However, to help defray the costs of the clinic, patients are asked if they would like to give a free-will donation of $10 for dental visits.
There are fees for dental appliances such as dentures, partials,
flippers, and nightguards. Prices are discussed with patients after an appointment as costs vary with size and materials used.
Any tests or procedures performed at Matthew 25 are done without charge. If it needs to be done elsewhere, then special arrangements are made through Matthew 25 by giving you a “referral slip”, but you still may be responsible for some of the cost.
