What senior dentistry does

Community Dental Health, formerly known as Senior Mobile Dental, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2006 by Michelle Vacha. It operates two dental clinic locations in Colorado—Colorado Springs and Pueblo—providing basic restorative and prosthetic dental care to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured adults, seniors, and veterans. Services are priced at approximately 50% of private-practice rates, with fillings and extractions at $10 and dentures at $60, materially expanding access for populations that would otherwise face cost barriers to dental treatment.

The organization's service model combines in-clinic care with a TeleDentistry platform marketed as "Virtually Connected Dentistry," which extends remote screening and consultation to patients facing transportation, mobility, or geographic constraints. According to organizational disclosures, the value of dental care delivered exceeded $3 million in a recent year. Revenue is generated through a mix of heavily discounted patient fees, partial Medicaid reimbursements, and foundation grants, with the Colorado Health Foundation and the NextFifty Initiative identified as notable funding partners.

Operationally, the organization reports a small team of 1–10 employees supporting two physical locations and the telehealth channel. Strategic activity around 2019—including the Pueblo building purchase, rebrand, telehealth launch, and veterans outreach—indicates an organization broadening its service mandate from senior-focused mobile dentistry toward a wider community health role across southern Colorado.
