There is a fee for dental services for all patients. The amount charged will be dependent on tribal enrollment status and insurance coverage. Costs for tribally-enrolled patients are shown above. If you are not tribally enrolled, we can apply a sliding fee scale to adjust service pricing based on your income and family size. Additionally, there is some funding available for elders, so please ask our team.

DIHFS No-Show Policy
Denver Indian Health and Family Services is proud to be able to provide basic Medical, Dental, and Behavioral Health services to our community. There is a great need for these services. Clinic services are valuable to our community and can be costly.
We, at Denver Indian Health and Family Services, understand that sometimes you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment and that there are emergencies. However, when patients do not notify our office prior to missing the appointment it affects both the community and the clinic. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call us as soon as possible (with at least a 24-hour notice). You can cancel appointments by calling the following number: 303-953-6600.
To ensure that each patient is given the proper amount of time allotted for their visit and to provide the highest quality care, it is very important for each scheduled patient to attend their visit on time. As a courtesy, an appointment reminder call to you is made/attempted one (1) business day prior to your scheduled appointment. However, it is the responsibility of the patient to arrive for their appointment on time and if your phone number changes to call DIHFS to update new phone number.

Only two “No Shows” per 6 months will be allowed for services at DIHFS.
- All clients are requested to sign the No Show policy at the time of registration.
