Community Health Care - Milgard Family Dental Clinic

South Tacoma’s Community Health Care - Milgard Family Dental Clinic sits at 1708 E 44th St, providing dental care just off Portland Avenue. Routine exams and cleanings anchor their regular offerings, while specialists there handle crowns, bridges, and root canals when needed. Patients in the area rely on them for pediatric services alongside traditional fillings and implants.

Across the street from McCarver Elementary, the clinic serves neighborhood families and nearby workers alike. Between cleanings, they tackle emergencies—chips, sudden pain, lost fillings—on a walk-in basis. For patients needing imaging beyond X-rays, they bring digital diagnostics in-house, cutting down on referrals and extra trips.

At the corner of 44th and Steele, parking along the curb stays free after school hours. With dental work often daunting, this clinic keeps morning and afternoon slots open to keep waits short. Behind the storefront’s brick facade, operational signs rotate between quiet mornings and steady afternoon traffic.
