Apple Tree Dental operates a comprehensive mobile dental service that delivers on-site care to elderly nursing facility residents, disabled adults living in group homes, and low-income children at Head Start centers, schools, and other locations. We provide access to cost-effective dental care to people who face barriers to care in traditional dental settings. One advantage of this proactive approach to care delivery, especially for frail elderly or disabled individuals, is that they can be treated in a familiar place, in collaboration with their nurses and other caregivers.
Our mobile services are coordinated out of nearby "hub" Centers:
Our dental teams travel to our community sites each day, typically with a team of dentists, hygienists, and assistants, to provide oral health education and preventive and restorative dental care. Apple Tree's multi-site delivery truck transports our complete mobile dental office to community sites prior to services. When our dental team arrives in the morning, they set up a complete dental office inside the building within minutes. The dental teams provide examinations and check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and tooth extractions on a regular schedule, creating year-round dental homes for patients. At the end of the day, the mobile equipment is picked up and delivered to another site.
Our on-site dentists also work with patients who have denture needs. Dentists make impressions for new dentures, relines, and repairs. Using Apple Tree's in-house dental lab, new dentures generally take from four to six visits.
Apple Tree Dental's mission is to overcome barriers to oral health, and on-site dental care has been a part of that since the beginning. We are proud to bring care to the people who need it most.
