Sault Tribe Health Center Dental Department undergoes Renovations

There is a great demand for dental services.  In effort to provide high quality and complete care, the dental program will be scheduling up to 3 months in advance.  Elders (age 60 and older) and kids will be given scheduling priority.

Please be advised the dental department in Sault Ste. Marie is undergoing renovation.  For the next few months, we are working out of a smaller clinic located on the 1st floor of the Sault Tribal Health Center.

How Do I Make a Dental Appointment?

Please call the dental department between 9AM – noon or 1 – 5PM to speak with a dental team member about scheduling.  Each week we will be giving out a limited number of both exam and treatment appointments on a first call basis.  Patients will need to have a dental exam before they can be scheduled for a treatment appointment (filling, denture, crown, etc.).  If the dental schedule is full, you will be advised to call the following week when new appointments become available.

What to do in Event of Dental Emergency?

Sault Ste. Marie:  

During the Sault dental renovation emergency appointments can be made by calling at 8AM to schedule for the following morning.  Please remain on hold until a dental team member answers your call.  Calls will be answered in the order they are received.  Occasionally, appointments may be available the same day.  If appointment slots are full, you may be asked to call the following day.
