In 1990 Salt Lake City dentist, Dr. Ralph Montgomery, recognized access to oral health care for the disadvantaged within our community was nearly nonexistent. Many of the poorest and most destitute were forced to go without needed dental care. Often restorable teeth were extracted because there were simply no other options available. As a result, Dr. Montgomery founded Salt Lake Donated Dental Services (SLDDS). He believed that a healthy smile should not be limited to those with financial means and that with community commitment SLDDS’ Donated Dental Program can provide sorely needed quality dental care to Utah’s homeless and extremely low-income individuals (at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level) at no cost. SLDDS implemented the Discounted Dental Program in 2009. Board members and employees realized many families just above the poverty level were also struggling to receive dental care. These individuals often known as the ‘working poor’ rarely held dental insurance and could simply not afford to pay full price for dental care. The Discounted Dental Program allows individuals at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level to pay a discounted rate for dental care.The Discounted Dental Program not only pays for itself, but supplements the Donated Dental Program, allowing more community funds to support direct patient care instead of overhead costs.
