Last year's services included 1,338 extractions, 1,289 fillings, 500 cleanings, 82 dentures/partials and crowns, 14 root canals, and 91 surgical procedures, with a market value of nearly $1,100,000. This would not be possible without your support.

Your investment in the Clinic today will ensure that we can:

  • Maintain emergency operations with competent, compassionate staff

  • Produce virtual hygiene and prevention webcasts for local students who are currently enjoying "virtual school"

  • Provide training to staff for best practices during a crisis

  • Purchase critical supplies for the safety of our patients and staff

  • Reach out to patients in need of exams through a telemedicine service

  • Recruit volunteer dentists for the future when we are back at full capacity—and we expect the future to be bright!

  • Continue serving over 700 patients each year

Volunteer

Currently, under the leadership of an active Board of Directors, the Clinic serves patients in our community with a Supervising Staff Dentist, 12 Volunteer Dentists, one part-time Dental Hygienist and two Dental Assistants. In 2019, our Staff Dentist spent 1,027 hours with patients. Our volunteer dentists matched those hours with a total of 914 hours.

Dentists

Our volunteer dentists are our heroes, selflessly giving countless hours of their time, receiving no compensation, and deriving benefit only from knowing that they are providing a more normal life to those who would otherwise live in pain. With well over 100 years of cumulative dental service, our team of dentists brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Blue Ridge Free Dental Clinic. We currently have 12 active volunteer dentists.
