Prior to the pilot phase of RefugeeOne’s Dental Clinic in 2021, obtaining high quality, affordable dental care had been a serious challenge for refugees in Chicago. Many refugees have gone their entire lives without access to dental care. As a result, poor dental health is common, often due to limited diet, access to dental care, and in some cases, torture.
 
RefugeeOne’s Dental Clinic provides refugees with free, onsite, comprehensive dental care that contributes to their sense of wholeness and overall wellbeing. We partner with University of Illinois College of Dentistry, volunteer dentists and RefugeeOne staff who speak 35 languages to provide this essential care.

Are you a dentist or dental professional interested in volunteering at our pro-bono dental clinic?
With your help, we can meet a significant need in the refugee community. For more information, contact Justin Blunt at info@refugeeone.org with the tag line: Dental Volunteer
 
                Are you a refugee in need of dental care?
Our regular hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm M-F
Talk to your case manager about dental care and have them refer you to us. Someone will reach out to you and you will need to fill out preliminary paperwork.
