WellPartners Lexington Dental

WellPartners Lexington Dental is a dental clinic located in Lexington, SC, that operates as part of the non-profit organization WellPartners. The primary mission of WellPartners is to connect community partners and volunteers to provide healthcare services, including dental and eye care, to uninsured and underinsured residents of the Midlands community, specifically in Fairfield, Lexington, and Richland counties. The Lexington dental clinic focuses on providing quality care to adults and children who meet specific eligibility criteria, such as having a valid county ID, lacking dental insurance, and having a low income (less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level). The clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services, which include: Preventive care: Full mouth examinations, cleanings (prophylaxis), fluoride treatments, and gross debridement. Restorative procedures: Amalgam and composite restorations (fillings), and sedative temporary restorations. Surgical procedures: Simple and surgical extractions. The clinic is staffed by a dedicated team of professionals, including a part-time dentist, Dr. Kimberly Bensonhaver, along with certified dental assistants and registered dental hygienists. This core team is further supported by a network of community volunteers from institutions like Palmetto Health Department of Dental Education and Midlands Technical College Allied Health Department. The clinic's partnership with the Lexington County Health Department helps it to extend its reach and provide much-needed services to the community. In addition to adult services, WellPartners also provides dental care to eligible school-age children through a partnership with school nurses.
