Will they take me?

Open to the public. Students do the work and faculty check it. If your medical or gum condition is too complex for a teaching clinic, you get a referral and a list of other clinics.

• X-rays or other checks may be needed to see if your care can be done here
• A note from your doctor (medical clearance) may be required
• Arriving more than 30 minutes late or missing 2 appointments means you will not be booked again
• New patients who miss their first appointment without notice will not be booked again
• You keep the same student for your care

How long it takes

Each visit: About 3 hours

Visits: Several visits may be needed
