Peoples Clinic Dental

Peoples Clinic Dental is the dental department of the broader Peoples Community Health Clinic (PCHC), a well-established non-profit organization located in Waterloo, Iowa. Founded in 1976, PCHC has grown significantly, evolving from humble beginnings to a 40,000 square foot facility in downtown Waterloo, with an additional satellite clinic in Clarksville, IA. The organization is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), meaning it receives federal funding and is committed to providing healthcare services to all individuals, regardless of their ability to pay or insurance status. This commitment is further solidified by their acceptance of various insurance plans, including Medicaid and Hawki, and the availability of a sliding fee scale based on income for qualifying patients. Peoples Clinic Dental offers a comprehensive array of dental services for both children and adults. These services include routine dental care such as teeth cleanings, exams, and x-rays, as well as preventive treatments like fluoride application and sealants. They also provide restorative procedures (e.g., fillings), extractions, and emergency dental care. A notable aspect of their service is the provision of prenatal dental care, emphasizing a holistic approach to patient health. Beyond dental care, Peoples Community Health Clinic provides integrated medical, urgent care, and behavioral health services, aiming to offer comprehensive wellness under one roof. This integrated approach ensures that patients' oral health is considered within the context of their overall physical and mental well-being. The clinic boasts a dedicated team of dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants, committed to personalized care. While they welcome new child dental patients, at present, they are not accepting new adult dental patients, focusing on emergency care for adults. The clinic also provides on-site interpreters for various languages, ensuring accessibility for a diverse patient population. Peoples Clinic is recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, emphasizing strong patient-provider relationships.
