Family Dental Clinic

202
Bristlecone Drive
Fort Collins, CO 80524
(970) 416-5331
8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday
Appointments are required.

We offer adult and children's dental services at 202 Bristlecone Drive. (next door to the Health District's main office, 120 Bristlecone Drive, in north Fort Collins)

Who's eligible?
The Family Dental Clinic serves residents of northern Larimer County who:

  • Meet financial guidelines, and
  • Have no insurance or are covered by Medicaid or CHP+ insurance.

If your income is low and your assets are limited, you still may qualify for dental care on a sliding-scale fee, even if you are not eligible for other programs such as Medicaid or food stamps. Client assistance funds are very limited and we do not have enough to help every one in need.

What services are available?
The Family Dental Clinic provides dental care that meets the patient’s needs, including

  • Full dentures
  • Partial dentures
  • Root canals
  • Silver fillings
  • Tooth-colored fillings
  • We do not provide orthodontic care

It’s important that patients are happy with their mouth and smile. That means relieving tooth pain, repairing broken teeth and providing good preventive care. A dentist determines the most appropriate care for each patient.

How do I apply ?
If you would like to see a dentist and are not an established patient, please call the Eligibility Department at 407-7959 for eligibility requirements. If you have a dental emergency, please call contact the Family Dental Clinic 8 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. A limited number of emergency appointments are available each day.

The clinic is very busy and sees many patients each day. Patients are scheduled for appointments based on the urgency of their need, as determined by the dentists. Patients are served as promptly as possible. Please keep in mind that demand for services is high, which often results in a longer waiting time. The Family Dental Clinic team works closely with other dental professionals in the community to best meet the needs of patients.

Hours
8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday
Appointments are required.

If you have a dental emergency, please call the office at 416-5331 after 8 a.m.; emergency appointments are available daily.


Become a Tooth Fairy for someone in need

The Tooth Fairy Fund for Grown-ups is an effort to provide financial assistance to adults  who are unable to pay even the low sliding-scale fees at the Health District’s Family Dental Clinic.A local anonymous donor (our biggest Tooth Fairy so far) has offered a $20,000 challenge grant for the Tooth Fairy Fund for Grown-ups. If the Health District matches this donor’s $20,000 in 2009, we’ll have $40,000 to help people in our community. Click here to learn more or to donate.

The Dental program was featured on the Community At Work radio show on KRFC, 88.9FM.
