Patient Information
Senior Citizens (55 and older) receive free treatment. (There is a charge to copy x-rays to be sent to your dentist.) All others who can afford to pay are charged $20 for cleaning. The cost for sealants is $12 each. The costs for reproducing x-rays are as follows: $30 for full mouth, $20 for bite wings or panoramic, and $5 for single periapical x-rays.
All exams are free, and there is only a charge for x-rays when they must be reproduced. Current fees are subject to change.
Please remember that we are a teaching facility. You will receive excellent care, but it may not done as quickly as in a private dental office. Our students need time to learn and to have their work evaluated. Thank you for your patience. Also, please be advised that our services do not replace routine visits to your dentist.
