Featured information
How it works
The clinic operates on a teaching schedule, providing high-quality care through a structured three-step process:
- Free screening: New patients must first attend a walk-in screening. A dentist reviews their medical and dental history and performs an oral assessment to determine the level of treatment required.
- Student assignment: Patients are assigned to a student based on specific program requirements. Please note that the assignment may not be immediate.
- Appointment scheduling: Once patients are assigned, appointments are scheduled based on student needs. Because this is a learning environment, appointments typically last up to three hours, and multiple visits may be required to complete treatment.
Please review the privacy policy and patient procedures before your visit. Staff are happy to answer any questions when you arrive.
