Dentistry
LCHC currently offers a full range of general dentistry services including diagnostic and preventive services such as exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants and x-rays.  Restorative services include composite resin fillings, amalgam fillings and crowns.  The clinic also performs simple extractions as well as offering root canal therapy.  For replacing missing teeth, fixed bridges are offered, as well as removable full and partial dentures.  Periodontal procedures are limited to scaling and root planing.  Of the several other medical safety net providers in or near LCHC’s targeted communities, none offer these dental services, except for Lawndale Christian Health Center.

Dental services have been expanded to include both our main site as well as Homan Square. Dental and dental hygiene services are provided for about 8,000 patient visits per year.
