Dental Aid was the first not-for-profit comprehensive dental clinic in Colorado. Founded as a referral organization in 1974, Dental Aid opened its first full-service clinic in Boulder in 1980. Dental Aid now has clinics located in Boulder, Longmont and Louisville which provide emergency, preventive, restorative and specialty care including pediatrics, orthodontics, and oral surgery. Our tele-dentistry programs make oral health services more accessible by bringing the services of a registered dental hygienist to community settings where clients are already present.
Dental Aids mission is to improve the quality of life of children and adults struggling to afford health care by providing compassionate, affordable, high quality dental care and education, while advocating to ensure access to care.
