Making an appointment
To make an appointment at one of the school’s specialty 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 specialty care clinic from a dentist in private practice, have your dentist contact the appropriate clinic directly.

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