Do I have to pay for treatment?

Yes. Patients are requested to pay for the treatment provided at the time of service. Our fees are approximately 50% less than the fees at a private practice dental office.

Do you offer financial assistance or charge on a sliding fee scale?

No. Our fees are set at a flat rate.

Does the Dental School provide a price list for services?

No. Due to the variation of dental procedures we can not give out price lists. Once accepted as a patient and assigned a dental student, you will be given a comprehensive treatment plan which will include fees.

How do I become a patient of the Dental School?

All new patients of the dental school are required to go through our screening process. During the screening process, you can expect to have a panoramic x-ray and a dental exam by four of our faculty members. Our screening process is designed to determine if you will be accepted as a patient. To schedule a screening appointment you will need to call (804) 828-9190.

How long does each appointment take?

Due to the fact that we are a teaching facility, each appointment will be scheduled either from 9:00 AM -12:00 PM or 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM. You will need to plan on being at the dental school for the full three hours.
