Costs and Coverage
What you pay here is worked out from your household income and family size, not read off a price list. Where the thresholds fall is decided by North Central Texas Community Health Car, so what a friend paid elsewhere is not a guide. Ask for your band in writing before agreeing to a course of treatment. Our guide to applying for the discount lists the documents to bring.
This clinic has a Medicaid billing registration on file, which is a good sign but not a guarantee for your particular plan. Adult dental coverage under Texas Medicaid is decided at state level and has changed more than once in most states; children’s dental coverage is required everywhere. The Medicaid dental page covers how to check yours.
Planning Your Visit
110 Lee St, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
The published number is 940-766-6306. Where an organization runs several sites this often lands at a central desk, so name the clinic and say the appointment is dental.
The call is worth making for: the dental hours, and which days appointments run, whether new dental patients are being taken, and the current wait, what a first visit costs, before and after any discount, and what to bring for the sliding fee application.
Common Questions
Can they do specialist work here?
Providers in more than general dentistry are registered at this address, which is listed further up the page. That does not mean the clinic is taking new patients for those treatments or that they fall inside the discount, so name the treatment when you call.
Would a dental school be cheaper?
For a large amount of work, often yes — but a school screens you first, may turn your case down, and takes months rather than weeks. A health center discounts by your income and can usually see you sooner. Our guide to dental school clinics compares the two.
Do they treat patients who are pregnant?
Yes, and dental care during pregnancy is not something to postpone: professional guidance is that examinations, cleanings, fillings and extractions can be done, and untreated infection carries its own risk. Tell them when you book. Our pregnancy guide covers what changes and what does not.
Do I have to pay on the day?
Commonly yes, at least the discounted portion, and some clinics ask for it before treatment rather than after. Ask what is due at the first visit, because a discount determination and the first appointment are sometimes separate visits.
Will I see a dentist or a hygienist?
Depends on what you booked. A cleaning is normally a hygienist; an examination, filling or extraction is a dentist. Some clinics run hygiene appointments on different days from dentist appointments, which is worth knowing before you take time off.
What if this clinic cannot take me?
Other clinics run by the same organization and the nearest alternatives are listed further down this page, each with its own waiting list. Dental school and dental hygiene teaching clinics are a separate route worth trying in the same area.
Other Clinics Operated by North Central Texas Community Health Car
North Central Texas Community Health Car operates one other clinic elsewhere in Texas. A central scheduling line can often say which of them has the shortest wait, and it is not always the nearest one. A sliding fee determination made at one of its clinics commonly carries across to the others, so income documents may not need providing twice. What is treated at one site is no guide to another, so confirm with the clinic you actually intend to visit.
