Emergency Dental Care

We offer emergency walk-in services weekdays between 8:30 a.m.-10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.-2:00 p.m., with services rendered to a limited number of patients per session on a first-come, first-served basis. Dental emergencies may include conditions in which bleeding, pain, swelling, or trauma exists; the goal of emergency treatment is to alleviate pain immediately and deal with acute problems such as infection and trauma.

General Dentistry

Student dentists provide routine dental care in the general dentistry facilities. Patients needing extensive dental care are referred to the specialty departments on recommendation by the faculty. Appointments are available on weekdays and select evenings and weekends.

Oral Diagnosis & Radiology

Your initial visit will most likely be on the first floor. This is where most diagnostic radiographs (X-rays) and preliminary examinations are performed. Patients are then assigned to other departments for treatment and follow-up.
