This page lists 9 reviewed dental clinics in Phoenix, AZ. They are run by 7 separate health center organizations, including Mountain Park Health Center, Neighborhood Outreach Access To Health, Adelante Healthcare and Horizon Health and Wellness. Each sets its own income bands and keeps its own books, so prices and waits differ between them even in the same town.

The 9 clinics sit across 9 different Phoenix ZIP codes. Distance on a map is a poor guide across a city of this shape. Searching on your ZIP code, and checking the bus route before booking, saves the wasted trip.

The nearest other Arizona cities with listings are Glendale at about 8 miles (1 clinic), Scottsdale at about 14 miles (1 clinic) and Mesa at about 18 miles (1 clinic). Measured straight-line rather than by road. Clinics do not follow city boundaries and neither do waiting lists, so the town next door is often the faster appointment.

4 of the 9 Phoenix locations have no website, so calling is the only way to find out what they offer. The other 5 carry links on the listing, though an organization-wide website often will not say which of its sites runs a dental clinic.

Before you travel across Phoenix, settle the things these listings cannot: what to ask on the phone, how the sliding fee discount is applied for, and which door to use when it is urgent and money is short. If you think what you have might be an emergency, go to an emergency room rather than onto a dental waiting list; the price of that visit is not the thing to weigh in that moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

With several clinics here, which should I call first?

Not automatically the nearest. Waits differ by weeks between sites, and dental hours are often shorter than the health center hours on the door. Ask two or three what their next dental appointment is before choosing.

Will the number listed reach the dental department?

Often it reaches central scheduling instead, especially at larger organizations. Name the clinic and say the appointment is dental, or you can be booked into the medical queue.

Is dental priced the same as medical at these clinics?

Not always. Dental is sometimes on its own fee schedule, and laboratory work for crowns and dentures is frequently billed on top of the discounted fee. Ask about dental specifically.
