*CASS COUNTY DENTAL CLINIC
Cass County Dental Clinic is Cass Community Health Foundation's safety net dental clinic. We serve children and adolescents ages 0–20 who are insured through Missouri Medicaid or are uninsured and financially qualify for services. Adult family members of children currently receiving care and pregnant people can also be treated if insured through Missouri Medicaid.
In 2009, the foundation identified a need for dental care for children and teens in Cass County who previously had no access to Medicaid-accepting providers. With grant funding, we opened Cass County Dental Clinic in Belton, Missouri in 2011. As the first safety net dental clinic in Cass County, Missouri, we quickly became the primary source for Medicaid dental care for underserved children in our area.
With high demand, we expanded our mission, opening a second clinic in Harrisonville, Missouri, in 2015. This clinic increased access to care by 53% for children from the central and southern parts of Cass County, Missouri. By 2023, we had served more than 4,000 children in a single year—a record for us. The growing demand for our services led to the construction of a new state-of-the-art clinic at 1000 Markey Parkway in Belton, Missouri, completed in 2025. This expansion helps us continue providing access and care to underserved children and their families in our community.
