About Lindquist Dental Clinic

Founded in 1936, Lindquist Dental Clinic for Children (LDCC) has been serving our Puget Sound community for over 77 years!!! Over the years LDCC has grown from a teaching facility to a professionally-staffed organization with 4 locations, over 24 chairs, and is estimating over 42,000 patient visits in 2013.LDCC was founded in 1936. The organization is named for Carl E. Lindquist, a Tacoma banker and philanthropist. In the beginning the organization served primarily as a dental assisting program at Bates Technical and Clover Park Technical Colleges. In 1998 LDCC began operating independently in a rented 5-chair dental facility in Parkland. At this time there was also a transition from an educational program to a professionally staffed clinic.LDCC purchased a building in Parkland with 5 treatment rooms in June of 2001. Between 2000 and 2002 LDCC increased patient services by over 50% and began bursting at the seams. It was evident that expansion was needed.In 2005 the expansion project was completed and LDCC moved into the current 10-chair facility in Parkland. Thanks to the many dedicated donors that made this a possibility.
