Salt Lake Donated Dental Services (SLDDS) is a non-profit organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah, that has provided dental care to homeless and indigent residents since 1990. The group operates a free safety-net program funded by the community, relying on volunteer dental professionals to deliver preventive, restorative, and other dental services to those with limited or no financial means. Its treatment philosophy centers on ensuring a healthy smile is accessible beyond financial constraints, with the schedule influenced by volunteer availability and the specific services offered by participating clinicians. In addition to its Donated Dental Program, SLDDS expanded in 2009 to include a Discounted Dental Program for individuals at 101-200% of the federal poverty level, requiring full payment at the time of service. This program enables more people to receive dental care at significantly reduced rates, complementing the organization’s mission to provide essential dental services to underserved populations.
