A growing dental care crisis in the U.S. is pushing oral health to a tipping point. Nearly 27% of adults lack dental insurance—nearly triple the percentage of those without medical coverage. Low Medicaid reimbursement rates and the continued separation of dentistry from general health insurance have created deep access gaps, especially in underserved communities.
At LADD Dental Group, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, compassionate dental care—and we are committed to being part of the solution. Here are a few ways we are working to break down barriers and improve access:
✅ Accepting Medicaid & State Programs – Unlike many dental offices, our practices proudly accept Medicaid, ensuring that low-income families and children can still receive preventive and restorative care.
✅ In-House Dental Discount Plan – For patients without insurance, we offer our own membership plan that provides affordable coverage options and discounts on treatment—helping bridge the gap for the 27% of adults with no dental benefits.
✅ Community Outreach & Education – We partner with schools, community organizations, and local events to provide education, screenings, and awareness around the importance of oral health as part of overall health.
✅ Multi-Specialty Care Under One Roof – By offering general dentistry, oral surgery, endodontics, and more within the same group, we reduce the need for costly specialist referrals and make care more accessible and coordinated.
✅ Commitment to Technology & Efficiency – From AI-assisted diagnostics to advanced imaging, we invest in tools that help us detect and treat issues earlier, ultimately reducing long-term costs for patients.
The dental access crisis is real—but at LADD Dental Group, we are working every day to make dentistry more affordable, accessible, and patient-centered for the communities we serve.
Because oral health isn’t a luxury. It’s essential.
