What counts as a "clinic" here
This directory groups multi-provider dental practices, hospital-affiliated dental departments, and community health centers alongside standard private dental offices. Every entry is anchored to the federal NPI Registry, so you can confirm the organization's identity and the individual providers who practice there before you call.
Community and low-cost clinics
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and other nonprofit community clinics often provide dental care on a sliding fee scale based on income, regardless of insurance status. If cost is a barrier, search the HRSA Find a Health Center tool alongside this directory, or see our affordable dentists near me guide.
What clinics typically offer
Most clinics handle routine exams, cleanings, fillings, and extractions in-house, and refer out to specialists for procedures like oral surgery, orthodontics, or endodontics — the same referral pattern you'd see at a general private practice. Group practices with multiple dentists on staff may have in-house specialists instead.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a dental clinic and a dental office?
The terms are often interchangeable, but 'clinic' frequently refers to a multi-provider practice, a hospital-affiliated dental department, or a community/federally qualified health center offering services on a sliding scale.
Are community dental clinics legitimate?
Yes. Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and many community clinics are nonprofit and provide care regardless of ability to pay. Search the HRSA Find a Health Center directory for centers near you.
Do clinics offer the same care as a private dentist?
Most clinics provide preventive care, fillings, extractions, and basic restorative work. Specialty services may be referred to outside specialists, similar to a general dental practice.
