Detailed Introduction
HealthPoint Dental Redmond is a vital part of HealthPoint, a well-established, non-profit community-based health organization that has been serving King County, Washington, since 1971. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), HealthPoint Redmond is committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive dental services to all individuals, emphasizing accessibility and health equity. Their mission is to strengthen communities and improve people's health by delivering quality healthcare services, breaking down barriers, and ensuring access for everyone, regardless of their financial situation, language spoken, or health status.
The Redmond clinic offers a full spectrum of dental care for both children and adults, including routine and preventive services like comprehensive exams, X-rays, and cleanings, as well as restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, bridges, and limited root canals. They also provide oral surgery and emergency dental care, with walk-in appointments sometimes available. Beyond treatment, HealthPoint emphasizes patient education on preventive care, healthy eating, and oral hygiene, particularly for children.
A key aspect of HealthPoint's philosophy is its commitment to affordability. They accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Washington Apple Health (Medicaid). For individuals without health insurance, they offer a sliding fee scale based on household income and family size, with dental appointments starting at $50 for qualifying patients. The clinic also provides assistance with insurance applications.
HealthPoint's approach extends beyond just dental care; as part of an integrated health system, they offer a "whole-person" model of care. This means patients often have access to a multidisciplinary care team that can address various health needs, including medical care, behavioral health services, naturopathic medicine, nutrition counseling, social services, and on-site pharmacy services. This integrated approach aims to provide holistic support and reduce barriers to care, especially for vulnerable populations. HealthPoint is governed by a patient-majority board of directors, ensuring that the services provided truly meet the needs of the community.
