Cornerstone Care Community Dental Center of Uniontown

Cornerstone Care Community Dental Center of Uniontown is a vital part of Cornerstone Care, a well-established non-profit network of Community Health Centers. Founded over four decades ago, Cornerstone Care's mission is to improve the health of individuals and communities, with a particular focus on serving the underserved populations across Southwestern Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia. The Uniontown dental center, like other Cornerstone Care locations, operates as a comprehensive clinic offering a full spectrum of dental services. These services typically include routine dental exams and cleanings, X-rays, preventive care, fillings, crowns, root canals, bridges, and oral health education. They also emphasize pediatric dentistry and provide emergency consults. A key aspect of Cornerstone Care's approach is their commitment to making high-quality dentistry available to everyone. They accept all state and most commercial insurances with open networks. For uninsured patients, they offer discounts on essential services based on family size and income, ensuring that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Beyond the fixed clinic location, Cornerstone Care also extends its reach through a mobile dental unit. This unit travels to schools, Head Start programs, businesses, and various community locations, providing vital services like dental screenings, exams, X-rays, cleanings, and sealants. This outreach program, "Smile for Life Oral Health Outreach Program," aims to educate families about good oral hygiene and establish a "dental home" for patients, ultimately working towards improving generational oral health and reducing the burden of emergency dental care. Cornerstone Care's patient care philosophy is prevention-oriented, aiming to proactively manage and prevent dental issues rather than simply reacting to crises. They prioritize patient education, empowering individuals with the knowledge to maintain optimal oral health. Their team includes highly trained dentists, hygienists, and support staff dedicated to providing compassionate and high-quality care. The organization's integrated care model means that patients can often access various health services, including medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health, all under the umbrella of Cornerstone Care.
