Comprehensive Dental Care in South Boston

Preventive Dental Care in South Boston

Due to high demand from our primary care patients, you must have a PCP at South Boston CHC to be eligible to receive routine or emergency dental services.

Regular checkups and cleanings are the foundation of lifelong oral health. At SBCHC, we provide preventive dental services for adults 17 years and older, including exams, cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments to help you avoid cavities and gum disease. Our team provides an oral cancer screening at every exam, including your initial visit and each 6‑month checkup.

Restorative & Advanced Dental Services

From fillings and root canals to crowns, bridges, dentures and extractions, our dental team provides restorative care to repair and protect your smile. We work with patients to discuss the best options for comfort, function, and long-term results.

Emergency Dental Care

Dental pain or injury can’t wait. SBCHC offers same-day emergency dental appointments in South Boston for urgent needs such as toothaches, infections, or broken teeth. Availability is offered on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Call us at 617‑464‑5825 to check availability.

Affordable & Accessible Dental Services
