About dentures and crowns
A prosthodontist specialises in replacing missing teeth and restoring damaged ones: dentures, crowns, bridges and implant-supported teeth. Dentures are among the services adult Medicaid most often limits, so it is worth checking your state's rules first.
Paying for a visit
This is a community health center. Federal rules require it to offer discounts based on income and household size, and it cannot turn you away because you cannot pay. How sliding-scale fees work at community health centers

Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Does Jeffrey Tom see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
- Do I need a referral from a general dentist first?
- What income documents should I bring to get the sliding-fee discount?
- What will the first visit cost me, and what will it include?
A dentist registered at an address may work there only some days, or may have moved on. The clinic's front desk can confirm.
