Are you uninsured in need of Dental care?

The Good Samaritan Center may be able to help you.

Each year, GSC fulfills nearly 1,400 Dental appointments

We alleviate pain and help patients save their teeth.

Services offered at the GSC dental clinic include fillings and routine extractions.  We also provide cleanings and advice on good dental hygiene practices to prevent future problems.

Unlike the medical clinic portion of GSC, we can schedule qualified low-income patients who receive some medical insurance but have no dental insurance coverage. If you have a question about your eligibility for a dental appointment, call the Center and schedule a consultation.

We render service to members of our community who are uninsured and are earning less than 250% of the federal poverty level (for example, a household of four that earns less than $69,375 per year). We meet critical health needs for:

• Blanco Co.
• Gillespie Co.
• Kimble Co.
• Mason Co.
• and the towns of Comfort and Brady.

If you want to know if you qualify for our services, or if you want to set up an eligibility appointment, please call us at 830-990-8651.

We treat a variety of acute and chronic illnesses. Through our partnerships with area doctors and treatment centers, we afford our patients access to specialists and complicated procedures that would be otherwise unobtainable.

By encouraging patients to come to GSC, we are reducing congestion at our local hospital's ER, a real win-win situation since ER visits are an expensive prospect for everyone.
