Our Outreach Program eliminates transportation as a barrier to care for underserved Santa Cruz County residents at many venues, including schools, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and our one-chair Outreach Clinic at Housing Matters in Santa Cruz.

Our partnerships provide patients who might not otherwise get access to dental services to the treatment they need.

At our outreach sites, our staff delivers oral health evaluations including x-rays, and procedures such as cleanings and fluoride varnish. Those patients who require more complex care are referred back to our clinic.

Dientes provides oral health education and preventive services in six school districts (Pajaro Valley Unified, Live Oak, San Lorenzo Valley, Soquel Unified, Santa Cruz City & Santa Cruz County Office of Education) at 30+ schools. The program has been a huge success since its inception in 2009.

AMR Santa Cruz (the EMS 911 providers for Santa Cruz County) has launched a new service for patients that call 911 with low acuity complaints where our EMTs and Paramedics are able to reach an ER physician via a tablet or a phone to get patients' concerns resolved without having to go to an ED, saving a costly medical bill from the hospital, reducing ED visits, and allowing for more units to be available for life-threatening emergencies. These physicians are able to prescribe medications as well.

Dientes offers comprehensive specialty care for patients who previously had to leave the county and wait several months to access services, because there was no endodontist or oral surgeon in Santa Cruz County that accepted Medi-Cal. Through our Specialty Care Program, adults and children can receive root canals, extractions, and other surgical procedures from an oral surgeon and endodontist.
