# Dental Grant Program > Dental Grant Program helps patients save 30–50% on dental procedures by matching them with network dentists who subsidize treatment costs through grants. It is not a government program and is not affiliated with any state agency. ## About Dental Grant Program (DGP) is a private service based in Irvine, CA. The program connects patients with local dentists in their network who offer subsidized rates on dental procedures. The grants come directly from participating dental offices and do not need to be repaid. The program is open to everyone, with or without dental insurance. **Disclaimer:** Dental Grant Program is not sponsored by any government or state agency and is not affiliated with the state of California. --- ## How It Works 1. **Apply online.** Fill out a 30-second application with your name, contact information, zip code, desired procedure(s), and insurance status. 2. **Get matched with a dentist.** DGP finds a qualified local provider in their network who specializes in the procedure you want. 3. **Save on your procedure.** Your procedure can be subsidized by an average of 30% to 50%. A $25 assessment deposit is required to secure your appointment with the provider's office. This deposit is collected by the provider over the phone, is non-refundable if the appointment is missed, and is unrelated to insurance status. If you cannot keep your appointment, the provider's office will reschedule as a courtesy. --- ## Procedures Covered - **General Dentistry** – Teeth cleanings and regular checkups for maintaining dental hygiene. - **Cosmetic Dentistry** – Procedures to improve the appearance of teeth. - **Sedation / Sleep Dentistry** – Many providers offer sedation so patients don't need to be awake during procedures. - **Invisalign / Orthodontics** – Straighter teeth without metal braces. - **Gum Treatment** – Treatment for gum health, which is as important as dental health. - **Dental Prosthetics** – Prosthetic dental solutions. - **Veneers** – State-of-the-art veneers to dramatically improve the appearance of front teeth. - **Teeth Whitening** – Modern whitening techniques can brighten teeth in as little as one hour. - **Dental Implants** – Restore single or multiple missing teeth via crowns, implant bridges, or implant-secured dentures. - **Cavity Fillings** - **Porcelain Crowns** - **Dentures** - **Other** – Custom procedure requests are accepted via the application form. --- ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I know if I'm eligible?** Everyone is welcome to apply, with or without insurance.
