Detailed Introduction
Family Health Care - Baldwin Dental is a crucial branch of the broader Family Health Care organization, a community health center dedicated to providing comprehensive primary care services in west-central Michigan since 1979. Located at 1615 Michigan Ave, Baldwin, MI 49304, this clinic specifically focuses on dental health, serving residents of Baldwin and surrounding areas like Big Rapids, Cadillac, and Evart.
The clinic operates with a "one-stop shopping" concept for healthcare, meaning it is part of a larger network that offers not only dental services but also family practice, behavioral health, pharmacy, laboratory, x-ray, medical social work, and health education. This integrated approach emphasizes the connection between oral health and overall well-being.
Family Health Care - Baldwin Dental provides a wide array of dental services for both adults and children. These include essential preventive care such as teeth and gum examinations, cleanings (prophys), fluoride treatments, and sealants. For restorative needs, they offer fillings, crowns, bridges, partial and full dentures, root canal treatments, and extractions, including minor oral surgeries. Emergency dental care is also available. They utilize X-ray services for accurate diagnosis and work with local specialists for more complex procedures like braces.
A key aspect of Family Health Care's mission, including its Baldwin Dental branch, is accessibility. They accept most insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, and offer a sliding fee scale to ensure that high-quality care is available to all, regardless of their ability to pay or other socioeconomic factors. This commitment extends to school-based services, providing preventative checks, X-rays, and treatments to students, with coordination for restorative services at their clinic locations. The clinic is staffed by board-certified dentists and a professional team dedicated to providing a comfortable and caring environment for their patients.
