How can I become a patient?

If you wish to become a patient, call 719-549-3286 to request a screening appointment.

What is the screening appointment? 

The screening consists of a medical history and brief exam to determine your suitability as a dental hygiene school patient. It requires approximately one hour. There is no charge for the screening. 

Will I be accepted as a patient? 

Acceptance of patients is determined by the educational needs of the dental hygiene students, your medical history, and your ability to meet the scheduling needs of the students. Unfortunately, we cannot accept all persons who apply.

Who provides treatment?

Your treatment will be provided by the dental hygiene students under the supervision of dentists and dental hygiene faculty.

How much will it cost?

You will be informed at the screening of the cost for your particular case. Fees are low in exchange for the additional time required for your treatment in a school setting.

Basic fees are $25 for a child ages 6-15, (includes cleaning and topical fluoride); $30 for adults, and $75 for advanced periodontal cases
(x-rays are charged separately). Total payment is required at the first treatment appointment. Cash and checks only.  No credit/debit cards accepted.  For more information, link to the following website: dehcosts.htm.

How often do I have to be available for appointments?

Most cases require two or more visits of about 3 to 4 hours for each visit. Student clinic time is limited, so your reliability is important
