Clinica Sierra Vista has 10 dental centers to serve the needs of Central Valley residents in Kern and Fresno Counties. Our dentists saw more than 76,000 patients in 2016, and we continue to add staff members and sites to address the urgent need for primary dental care among vulnerable and low-income patients.

Quality Dental Health Care

Clinica Sierra Vista believes everyone in the communities we serve should have access to quality dental health care. We have two fully equipped, 40-foot mobile units that allow our dental and medical professionals to provide their services in communities where they are needed most. Our units have visited schools to offer first-time checkups to thousands of children, as well as to the homeless on the streets and farmworkers in the fields.

We accept Denti-Cal, private insurance, most HMO plans, including Covered California, and cash. A sliding-fee scale is used to determine rates for the uninsured. Call (833) 678-2781 in Fresno to reach a Clinica Sierra Vista enrollment expert who can answer your insurance questions.

Do I Qualify for WIC?

  • You are breastfeeding a baby who is less than one year old
  • You had a baby in the last six months
  • You have a child who is under the age of five
