Dientes Community Dental Care

Dientes is on a mission to create lasting oral health for underserved children and adults in Santa Cruz County and neighboring communities.

We believe that there's dignity that comes with a healthy smile. For over 30 years, Dientes has worked to ensure that cost, insurance, income, race, language, and transportation do not prevent people from visiting the dentist. With four clinics throughout Santa Cruz County, we provide affordable, high-quality, and comprehensive dental care for patients who are on public insurance or uninsured. Since 1992, we have treated over 50,000 patients.

We're working towards a community where children can focus on school instead of a toothache, adults can make good first impressions and get a job because they have a healthy smile, and seniors can comfortably eat nutritious foods.

We believe that it is only when our neighbors have their basic needs met, including access to dental care, that our community can truly thrive and flourish. Come join us!
