PrimaryPlus-Dental Center

PrimaryPlus-Dental Center (Vanceburg) is a key facility within the extensive PrimaryPlus network, which was founded in 1983 and operates as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). This designation underscores their commitment to providing quality, affordable, and accessible healthcare services to underserved communities in Northeast Kentucky and Southern Ohio. The Vanceburg location, specifically, is a flagship facility of the entire PrimaryPlus organization. The dental center offers a comprehensive range of "Phase I Dentistry" services for both adults and children. These include essential preventative care such as routine dental cleanings, digital X-rays, and fluoride treatments. They also provide restorative procedures like fillings, extractions, crowns, bridges, and root canals. Furthermore, the center offers cosmetic services like teeth whitening systems and custom-made bite guards for protection against clenching and grinding. A core tenet of PrimaryPlus-Dental is affordability and accessibility. They accept most commercial insurance plans, all Kentucky Medicaid plans, and Ohio Medicaid (CareSource & Molina). Crucially, they also provide a sliding fee scale program for individuals who are uninsured or underinsured, which can offer up to a 75% discount on services, making quality dental care attainable for a wider population. The facility emphasizes a patient-centered approach, striving to create a comfortable and welcoming environment, especially for children who may experience dental anxiety. They also offer guidance to parents on maintaining good oral hygiene habits for their children. Beyond dental services, the PrimaryPlus-Vanceburg location is a multi-service facility, offering a wide array of healthcare options including family health, diabetes management, counseling, pharmacy services, X-ray/ultrasound, minor emergency care, and women's health. This integrated approach allows for comprehensive care and aims to be a "one-stop shop" for families' healthcare needs. They also collaborate with other healthcare organizations, such as UK King's Daughter's Medical Center, to bring specialized services closer to their community.
