High Country Community Health Dentistry is a key part of High Country Community Health (HCCH), a comprehensive community health center serving western North Carolina, including Avery, Burke, and Watauga Counties. Located at 108 Doctors Dr, Boone, NC 28607, this clinic is dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable, and patient-centered dental care to individuals of all ages. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), HCCH operates with a mission to make healthcare accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. This commitment is evident in their flexible payment options, which include accepting Medicaid, Medicare, and most major private insurance plans. Furthermore, they offer a sliding fee scale discount program for uninsured patients, with rates determined by household size and income. This ensures that essential dental services are within reach for the entire community. High Country Community Health Dentistry offers a wide array of dental services designed to meet diverse patient needs. These include general dentistry, preventive care (like exams and X-rays), restorative procedures (such as fillings, crowns, and bridges), simple extractions, root canal therapy, and the provision of complete and partial dentures. They also utilize modern technology like digital X-rays to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient care. The clinic is staffed by a team of dental professionals, including general dentists, who are committed to providing integrated care alongside HCCH's medical and behavioral health services, treating the "whole person." The Boone dental office operates with convenient hours, typically Tuesday-Friday from 8:30 am to 5 pm, with a lunch break. They strive to accommodate appointments promptly, especially for emergency situations. HCCH's dedication extends beyond just dental services, as they are part of a larger organization that also offers primary medical care, behavioral health services, women's health, nutrition counseling, and a 340B Drug Discount program. Their presence in the High Country region emphasizes community well-being and integrated healthcare solutions.
