Established almost 40 years ago, we currently operate nine Centers for Dental Health in Minnesota, and have created replication programs in North Carolina, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Texas, and California.
Inspired by the Mayo Clinic model, Apple Tree is nationally recognized for its pioneering approach to integrating dental care as part of overall health and well being. With an integrated team of professionals that includes specially trained dentists and a multilingual staff, we provide preventive care and treatment at nine Centers for Dental Health and through our On-Site Care Programs.
Working with 200 collaborating organizations, our teams deliver compassionate care to children, adults, and elders who face barriers to care at Head Start Centers, local schools, group homes for people with disabilities, assisted living centers, nursing facilities, and other sites.
In partnership with educational institutions, Apple Tree hosts clinical rotations for a variety of students in the health professions and a dental residency program. Apple Tree’s Innovation Center designs new delivery systems, clinical dental education experiences, and pursues policy reforms to help transform the health care system.
