Utah Partners for Health

Utah Partners for Health (UPFH) Dental is the dental arm of Utah Partners for Health, a vital non-profit organization established in 2002 with the core belief that "PEOPLE MATTER." Located at 7651 S Main St, Midvale, UT, UPFH Dental is committed to offering high-quality, comprehensive, and affordable dental care to a wide range of patients, with a particular focus on empowering underserved individuals, families, and communities. As a Federally Qualified Community Health Center (FQHC), UPFH provides a "patient-centered medical home" model, integrating various healthcare services under one umbrella. This holistic approach ensures that patients receive not only dental care but also access to medical, behavioral health, vision, pharmacy, and substance use treatment services. For dental care specifically, UPFH Dental offers a full spectrum of services, including but not limited to general cleanings and evaluations, fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns, dentures, and implants. A significant aspect of UPFH Dental's mission is to make healthcare accessible, regardless of socioeconomic status. They offer discounted fees through a sliding scale based on family income and size, and their patient navigators assist individuals in understanding and enrolling in programs like Medicaid and CHIP. This commitment ensures that financial barriers do not prevent individuals from receiving necessary dental treatment. UPFH Dental operates alongside other UPFH clinics, such as the UPFH Family Clinic in West Jordan and the UPFH Mid-Valley Clinic. They also provide mobile medical and vision clinics, demonstrating their dedication to reaching communities where transportation might be a barrier to care. Their goal is to be "everyone's first choice for care" by providing compassionate, quality services that empower patients to improve their overall health and well-being. UPFH emphasizes a preventative approach to health, encouraging regular check-ups and offering health education. They accept a wide range of insurances and are a key partner in providing dental care for Medicaid patients in Utah, often working in conjunction with the University of Utah School of Dentistry's associated provider network to expand access.
