Patient Selection and Screening Appointment Results

Your first visit will be a Screening appointment. This short examination allows us to determine your dental needs and your suitability as a patient for the clinic. In some cases the type of treatment needed by the patient is too complex for our students. If you are suitable and wish to become a patient we will assign you to a student who will contact you to set up an appointment for a detailed examination. The length of time between screening and beginning of treatment varies based on the needs of the students, your requirements, and the time of the academic year.
