Affordable Dental Care for the Underserved & Uninsured in Southwest Virginia

Access to quality dental care should never depend on income or insurance status. At Appalachian Highlands Community Dental Center, we are committed to providing affordable, compassionate dental services to individuals and families throughout Southwest Virginia—especially those who are uninsured or underserved.

A Nonprofit Dental Clinic Serving Abingdon, VA

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community dental clinic located in Abingdon, Virginia, our mission is simple: remove financial barriers to essential dental care. We proudly serve individuals who may not qualify for traditional insurance coverage or who cannot afford the high cost of private dental services.

Our clinic is built around the belief that everyone deserves a healthy smile and access to professional dental treatment—without fear of overwhelming costs.

Sliding Fee Scale Based on Income

We understand that financial situations vary from household to household. That’s why we offer a sliding fee scale based on income. This means the cost of your care is adjusted according to your household size and earnings.

Who We Serve

We specifically focus on helping:

  • Uninsured adults and families
  • Individuals in recovery programs
  • Low-income workers who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance
  • Individuals experiencing homelessness
  • Anyone without dental insurance seeking affordable care

We believe dental health is essential to overall health, and we are dedicated to serving those who might otherwise go without treatment.

Comprehensive Dental Services

From preventive care to advanced procedures, we provide comprehensive dental services under one roof. Our licensed dentists and experienced faculty offer:

  • Cleanings and exams
  • Fillings and restorative care
  • Extractions
  • Dentures and partials
  • Implant services

Whether you need routine maintenance or more complex treatment, our team is here to help.
