Low Income Dental
Referral Listing
PLEASE NOTE: While we are very fortunate to have so many dental clinics and programs in the Denver metro area - the need far outweighs the resources available. We make every attempt to keep our list as up-to-date as possible, however, be aware that emergency and appointment availability is subject to change. We recommend you contact the programs directly for which you may qualify and we encourage you follow any specified acceptance protocols (i.e., fill out the application, get your name on the waiting list, etc). Because the need for dental services is so great, in many cases you will need to exercise patience and diligence.
