Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we currently are accepting new patients. Are you interested in applying? We encourage you to learn how to become a patient with us.

Call (414) 288-6790 to speak with one of our representatives. Please note that we cannot guarantee an appointment for all callers.

If you’ve had X-rays taken in the last six months by another dentist, we encourage you to bring them along to your appointment. If these X-rays are not readable or too old, it will be necessary to take new X-rays before we can serve your needs.

At your first appointment, your teeth will be assessed to determine whether your dental needs match the educational needs of our students. Please note that no other dental treatment will be provided at this appointment. If the School of Dentistry program isn’t right for you, we encourage you to find a private dentist or dental clinic to meet your dental needs.

Our school appointments last 2 to 4 hours. Do not leave pets in your car for this duration.

At your first visit, as the parent or legal guardian, you can give written consent for another adult (over 18 years of age) to bring and stay in the school for your child’s appointments. All children under 18 must be accompanied by a consenting adult.

Our orthodontic and endodontic clinics accept patients from referring dentists, but only for these specialties. You will need to return to your dentist for crowns, fillings, annual exams and cleanings.

It depends on several factors: how long ago you were screened, if you are a teaching case, if you were compliant with our policies and treatment plans, if you did not fail or cancel more than 2 appointments, if you are reachable by a reliable phone, and if it is in the best interest and safety of our students. Some patients are permanently inactivated, and some may be rescreened in 2 years.
