As a direct result of the economy and the recent Medicaid cuts, SLDDS now has two programs:

1. DONATED DENTAL PROGRAM

   SLDDS works with a corps of volunteer dentists to provide free services for the homeless and indigent. Because of the tremendous demand for free dental care, individuals seeking care enter their name into a drawing a day ahead of time and all patients who are treated are "drawn" daily.

   FREE SERVICES: 801-983-0345

2. DISCOUNTED DENTAL PROGRAM

   For those who don't qualify for SLDDS' free program, SLDDS has a program where services are offered at a significantly reduced rate (the fees average about 50% less than what one might pay in a private dental office). Individuals interested in the discounted dental program may schedule appointments and payment in full is required at the time of service.

   DISCOUNTED SERVICES: 801-972-2747

For both programs, all patients must income-qualify. Proof of eligibility is required on every visit.
