Dental health is difficult for people experiencing homelessness to maintain and can have serious implications for their health and well-being.  Dental services for indigent people in Albuquerque are severely limited.

Dental health is imperative to a person’s ability to eat well, express oneself, maintain self-confidence, and remain free of pain from such conditions as abscesses. All of these factors are essential to a person’s capacity to get or stay healthy, acquire housing and/or employment, and transition out of homelessness. 

The dental clinic offers a full range of routine, emergency, and preventive dental services. Occasional special needs cases are referred to dentists in the community willing to provide pro bono care.

Walk-in visits for emergencies/toothaches are available Monday through Friday at 8am and 1pm, however patients will be accepted throughout the day, if needed.

Appointments available everyday.

Same-day appointments for patients with existing treatment plans or needing a new patient exam are available Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  Many patients take advantage of the ability to complete their treatment plans more quickly.
