My Community Dental Centers

My Community Dental Centers (MCDC) is a prominent non-profit organization that operates a network of dental clinics across Michigan, with a core mission to enhance community health by offering accessible and quality dental care to all individuals. This commitment extends to those on Medicaid, under-insured, uninsured, or with commercial insurance, demonstrating their dedication to serving underserved populations. MCDC's service offerings are comprehensive, covering a wide spectrum of dental needs. These include preventative care such as cleanings and oral exams, pediatric dentistry, and digital X-rays. For restorative needs, they provide cavity fillings, root canals, bridges, and periodontal treatment. They also offer emergency dental care, tooth removal, and more advanced services like crowns and dentures. Furthermore, MCDC provides cosmetic dentistry options and has specialized programs for patients with special needs, facilitating hospital-based services for safe oral healthcare. They even offer a "My Community Dental Plan" (MyDP) for uninsured patients, providing an affordable oral health care option with a sliding fee schedule for low-income individuals. Founded with a vision to improve the quality of life for their patients and communities, MCDC operates in partnership with local health departments. For example, their Kentwood location at 4700 Kalamazoo Ave SE #200, Kentwood, MI 49508, is a key part of their network, providing essential dental services to the local community. The organization is committed to continuous quality improvement, maintaining a "patient first" perspective in all their operations. They adhere to CDC guidelines for infection control and meet OSHA/MIOSHA standards, ensuring patient safety. MCDC also emphasizes a people-powered culture, focusing on developing a dedicated team and fostering an inclusive and equitable environment for both staff and patients. They actively engage in advocacy and education to promote equal access to dental care for all Michigan residents.
