Patients will be seen by appointment only. Treatments will include cleanings, fillings, pediatric dentistry, restorative and other specialty care for the elderly, vouchered specialist care and prevention education. An innovative continuity of care philosophy will strongly encourage follow-up appointments and self-care.
This milestone is being made possible because of an extraordinary group of practicing and retired dental professionals who are giving their skills and personal time, all free of charge. It is an all-volunteer team of dentists, dental hygienists, voucher program dental specialists and support staff, the same volunteer patient care delivery model that our Medical Clinic has operated on since 1976.
Equally key to our Dental Clinic’s creation, is the generous support of our project donors: Conejo Free Clinic Board of Directors, Community Conscience, Thousand Oaks Rotary Club/Rotary International Foundation, Greater Conejo Valley Community Foundation, Soroptimist of the Conejo and many others.
For an appointment please call (805) 328-3100.
We are looking for volunteer receptionists, dental assistants, hygienists, and dentists.
