While our office does not offer free and reduced cost dental services, we recognize that there are many citizens in Vancouver who struggle to afford their dental care. Fortunately, there are many organizations in the Vancouver area who do offer free and low cost dental care. If you are in need of these resources, here is a list of places in Vancouver, Washington and Clark County where you can get dental care at an affordable price.
Who Is This Service Right For?
Free and discount clinics are available for patients with limited income, no insurance, or other financial hardships. If you’re looking for a slight discount on your dental services to save a few bucks, it’s probably not right for you – if you want to save some money on your dental care, check out Dr. Bowyer’s special discounts page. If you or your family members must forgo necessary dental care for financial reasons, these providers can help.
