All of our general dental services are provided by licensed dentists, hygienists and oral surgeons.
Services include:
Cleanings
Exams and X-Rays
Extractions
Fillings
Periodontal Treatment
Selective Restorative Care
Please Note:
We do not have the facilities for a general anesthetic. Most teeth extractions are done by a group of oral surgeons that specialize in extracting teeth. They will use a local anesthetic to numb only the area of your mouth to be worked on.
Due to limited resources, we are unable to do any cosmetic dentistry such as teeth whitening. Our main goal is the restoration of good dental health.
The Catholic Charities Free Health Care Center provides free, quality primary medical and dental services, with some specialty care, to uninsured individuals of greater Pittsburgh who meet our eligibility requirements.
We do not discriminate based on religious beliefs, race, gender, ethnicity, age, or physical disability.
We provide only health services. We are not a form of health insurance coverage.
We are not a walk-in clinic. Volunteer doctors and dentists are only available by scheduled appointment.
We do not treat children under the age of 19.
In Pennsylvania, children are covered by the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
