About general dentistry

A general dentist handles most everyday care: check-ups, cleanings, fillings, simple extractions and referrals onward when something needs a specialist. For most people this is the first appointment to make.

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

In New Jersey, adult Medicaid covers a broad range of adult dental care. What New Jersey Medicaid covers, service by service

Questions to ask when you call

• Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
• Does Gisela Lopez see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?
• 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.
