Molokai Community Health Center Expands Dental Services 

Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC) is excited to announce a significant expansion of its dental services, aimed at addressing the growing oral health needs of our community. This initiative underscores MCHC’s commitment to delivering accessible dental care for Quest individuals and families across Molokai.

The expanded dental services will include additional exam rooms and state-of-the-art equipment to improve efficiency and patient care. This upgrade will ensure that more individuals can receive timely treatment, helping to meet the growing demand for dental services in the area.

With the increase in staff and specialized professionals, the clinic will be able to offer a wider range of treatments, from routine check-ups to more advanced procedures. This means that families can receive comprehensive care under one roof, improving convenience and accessibility for everyone.

By partnering with experts like The Dental SEO Group, the clinic is also focused on improving its online presence, making it easier for patients to book appointments and access important health information. This digital boost will allow for better communication and support for patients, ensuring they have the best experience possible.

The federal Community Project Funding, awarded to MCHC, will be used to renovate the MCHC dental clinic. The expansion includes the addition of three new operatories, effectively doubling patient access to dental services. It will also introduce state-of-the-art dental equipment and an extended range of services, including advanced restorative care, pediatric dentistry, and Invisalign treatment for patients seeking a discreet and effective way to straighten their teeth. These upgrades will enable our team to serve more patients, reduce wait times, and ensure timely care for all.

To support this growth, we will be recruiting additional dental professionals, including two dentists, a hygienist, and dental assistants, to our team. Their expertise and dedication will align with our mission to provide exceptional care in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

As part of this expansion, we will continue to provide limited access to dental care for underserved populations by offering sliding scale fees. These efforts aim to eliminate barriers to oral health and promote overall well-being in our community. While renovations are underway, dental services will be temporarily relocated to the Paddler’s Aina Building at 10 Mohala Street, Unit 5, in Kaunakakai.

“This expansion marks an exciting new chapter for MCHC. We are thrilled to broaden our reach and make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of the Molokai community. Oral health is a cornerstone of health care, and this investment reflects our unwavering commitment to the Molokai community,” explained Milton Cortez, CEO of MCHC.

MCHC has been a trusted provider of dental care in Molokai for 20 years, offering a comprehensive range of services for patients of all ages. Our dedicated team is passionate about creating healthy smiles and fostering a culture of compassion.

During the renovation, MCHC will continue to offer a comprehensive range of services for patients of all ages, integrating primary medical and dental care with behavioral health, including the supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children.
