Our Services

We gladly accept Medicaid including ARKids First Insurance. HCI accepts most forms of dental insurance; however, no person will be turned away for lack of insurance. Qualified families will be charged according to their total family income and total persons living in the household.  Please see our Discounted Medical & Dental Care page for details. Medicaid and ARKids 1st enrollment assistance is also available for anyone interested.

TEETH CLEENING & EXAMS

Regular dental exams are an important part of preventive health care. During a dental exam, the dentist or hygienist will clean your teeth and check for cavities and gum disease.

DIGITAL X-RAYS

Similar to traditional dental X-rays that use film, your dentist inserts a sensor into your mouth to capture digital radiography images of your teeth. They are available instantly.

FILLINGS, EXTRACTIONS & ROOT CANALS

Root canals and tooth extractions are procedures dentists can use to treat teeth that are damaged or infected in some way.

CROWNS & BRIDGES

Bridges and crowns are fixed prosthetic devices that are cemented onto existing teeth or implants by a dentist. Crowns are used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth or cover an implant. 

TEETH WHITENING

Teeth whitening is not a medical procedure but it can result in whiter teeth and a brighter smile. This in turn can make people feel better about themselves.

Velscope Oral Cancer Screenings

Head and neck cancer, including oral cancer, cancer of the larynx, and cancer of the pharynx, is the sixth most common type of cancer worldwide.
