How to Become a General Clinic Patient
Dental care in the general clinic is provided by pre-doctoral students under the supervision of licensed faculty dentists and dental hygienist. Prospective patients are required to have a screening appointment to determine if their needs are suitable for treatment by a dental student.
Getting on the Screening Appointment List
You may add your name to the waiting list through our on-line form. When you register, your name will be put on a list. Once an opening becomes available, a registration attendant will call you back to schedule an appointment. Your name will remain on our list until an appointment is scheduled, or two attempts have been made to schedule a time.
The Screening Exam
At your first appointment a screening examination will determine your dental needs, and whether the clinic will be able to provide dental services. A screening appointment does not guarantee that you will be accepted as a patient. If we do accept you as a patient, we will schedule you for any necessary x-rays, and you will then be assigned to a student dentist, who will do a complete dental examination and work out a specific treatment plan that best suits your needs.
