Bringing Smiles to Northwest Kansas, Together!

​

At Rawlins County Dental Clinic, now doing business as Northwest Smile Center, we believe that every smile tells a story—and we’re here to make sure that everyone in northwest Kansas has access to the dental care they need to keep those stories bright. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we’re not just providing dental services; we’re building a healthier, happier community, one patient at a time.

​

Your Support Makes a Difference—Thank You!

​

Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we’ve been able to offer care on a sliding fee scale, making dental services affordable for everyone—from kids visiting the dentist for the first time to seniors who need a little extra care. You’ve helped us reach families who might have otherwise gone without care, and together, we’re creating lasting change in our community.

Building a Brighter Future for Oral Healthcare in Northwest Kansas!

​

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded $166,000 in Community Service Program (CSP) Tax Credits from the Kansas Department of Commerce! This achievement was made possible by generous supporters like you, who provided crucial pledge letters during the application process. With your help, we’re one step closer to offering even more comprehensive care to our community.

Expanding Our Reach—And Our Care!

​

These tax credits will enable us to fully equip our new clinic at 104 S 4th Street, where we moved in August. We welcomed patients to our expanded space on August 13th and brought on Dr. Tellbuescher, who joins Dr. Omido. Together, they are serving an additional 60 patients per week, helping us meet more of the community’s needs than ever before.

Our next critical step? Equipping two essential rooms: a sedation dentistry room and an extended ADA room. These facilities will allow us to care for children and adults with developmental disabilities, who often face long wait times for sedation services elsewhere. With your support, we can offer these important services right here at home, reducing travel time and providing timely care for those who need it most.

​
