Dental care FAQs
Come as you are
Going to the dentist can feel stressful for a lot of people. Some worry about cost, insurance, anxiety or feeling judged about where they’re at with their health. That’s why we put a lot of value on a welcoming experience where you’re treated with kindness and respect.
You deserve high-quality dental care. You deserve to feel seen, informed and supported every step of the way.
What services do you provide?
Our dentists and hygienists provide comprehensive dental care. That means you can count on us for fillings, exams, cleanings, extractions, crowns, partials, dentures, sealants and root canals.
Who can receive care at the Family Dental Clinic? Are there any residency or boundary restrictions?
If you live in the district boundaries (Fort Collins, Timnath, Laporte, Wellington, Bellvue, Livermore, Red Feather Lakes, Virginia Dale and far west neighborhoods in Windsor), are without insurance or have Medicaid, and meet income guidelines, you can receive care here. Call us, and our care coordinators will help you understand what you qualify for.

What insurance plans does the clinic accept?
We accept Medicaid and CHP+. We also work with uninsured patients to make care affordable.
How does the sliding fee scale work?
While most people are eligible for emergency care, for comprehensive care, your sliding fee is determined by your household size and household income. Our care coordinators will help you through the process of determining costs.
Can I get care if I have concerns about my paperwork?
We welcome everyone. If you have questions about paperwork, cost or available resources, we’re happy to talk through your options.

What else can the Health District help with?
We care about your whole health, not just your teeth.

Are eligibility requirements the same across the Health District’s programs?
Eligibility varies across the programs, and we have dedicated folks to help explain the requirements.
