Community Dental Center

The Community Dental Center, located at 38722 Saltwell Rd B, Lisbon, OH 44432, is a vital healthcare facility serving the Columbiana County area. It operates under the umbrella of the Community Action Agency of Columbiana County (CAACC), an organization dedicated to providing comprehensive health, behavioral health, and dental care to all individuals, regardless of age or economic status. The Lisbon dental center is a key component of CAACC's health services, emphasizing preventative care, patient education, and the promotion of overall health through oral hygiene. The clinic offers a broad spectrum of dental services designed to meet the diverse needs of the community. These include, but are not limited to, dental exams and X-rays, cleanings and fluoride treatments, cavity fillings, tooth extractions, root canals, bridges, crowns, and dentures. The center also provides pediatric dentistry, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention for children's oral health, with recommendations to see children by age one. A significant aspect of the Community Dental Center's mission is its commitment to accessibility and affordability. They accept most health insurance plans, including all Ohio Medicaid managed care plans. For uninsured patients who meet eligibility criteria, a sliding fee scale is available, ensuring that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. This commitment extends to recently opening a new pharmacy in Lisbon, exclusively serving CAACC patients, which is a 340B pharmacy, offering significantly reduced prices on outpatient drugs. The center also utilizes a mobile unit to reach smaller communities and provide services to school districts, further expanding access to care. The facility is well-regarded for its welcoming and professional environment. Patient testimonials frequently praise the staff for their kindness, gentleness, and attentiveness, particularly noting their ability to alleviate dental anxiety. The clinic prides itself on having skilled professionals, including dentists and hygienists, who provide thorough and personalized care in a clean and up-to-date setting. The Community Dental Center at Lisbon has received grants, such as a $300,000 grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to update and replace equipment, further enhancing its ability to provide modern and efficient dental care. The center's dedication to integrated oral health services, including the potential for teledentistry, underscores its forward-thinking approach to healthcare.
