Making an appointment

To make an appointment at one of the school’s advanced care clinics, you must get a referral from a dentist who has treated you. This can be a dentist in private practice or a student dentist in one of the school’s Comprehensive Care Clinics.

Referrals from private practices

To get a referral to a School of Dentistry advanced care clinic from a dentist in private practice, have your dentist contact the appropriate clinic directly.

Referrals from School of Dentistry Comprehensive Care Clinics

If you are a current School of Dentistry patient, your student dentist can help you get a referral to an advanced care clinic.

If you’ve never been a patient at the School of Dentistry, you must undergo an initial screening exam at the school before you can be referred to an advanced care clinic.
