Student Clinic

Students in the School of Dentistry, under the close supervision of dental school faculty members, offer dental services at a discounted price in exchange for an extra investment of your time.

Request Screening Appointment

Students in the School of Dentistry, under the close supervision of dental school faculty members, offer dental services at a discounted price in exchange for an extra investment of your time. You don’t have to be part of the UT System or meet any other qualifications to become a patient at our San Antonio teaching practice, but know that the services and hours at our practice are limited based on the schedules and learning goals of our student dentists.

If you choose our practice, you will first go through a screening appointment at one of our student pre-doctoral practice groups. We perform services based on the types of skills our students are building in training year and each practice. So if your dental needs (an abscessed tooth that needs tooth extraction, a canker sore that will not heal, or a cavity that needs to be filled, for example) match the types of services we are able to provide, you’ll receive care and a follow-up appointment so that your recovery progress is monitored. If your dental needs require specialty care, our practice can refer you to another practice at UT Health Dentistry.

Appointments

Before you can obtain an appointment for treatment in our student clinics, you must first have a Screening appointment beginning with completing a screening form. You'll be evaluated during this visit. You will be informed of your potential qualifications and receive a call for an appointment to complete procedures if your dental needs can be served by our practice.

If you only need a tooth extraction at this time, please call the Student Oral Surgery Extraction Clinic at 210-450-3140.

The Student Clinics observe most national holidays as well as additional days for mid-year holiday, Spring Break, and Summer break and are closed during these times.

Our Staff

Our practice is staffed by School of Dentistry students who are gaining practical experience performing procedures. Student dentists are closely supervised by School of Dentistry faculty.

Payments & Insurance

A non-refundable fee is charged for a screening appointment. Payment for procedures is expected at the time of service. If you are accepted as a patient, fees can be paid by cash, check or credit card.

Adult Cleaning (Service Example)

Adult Teeth Cleaning

Also called: Prophylaxis for adults, deep cleaning

Professional teeth cleaning is recommended every six months to prevent cavities, stop tooth loss, brighten your smile and promote overall health.

At cleanings, your dentist will use the right tools to remove bacteria build-up that your toothbrush cannot get.

For those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, it is recommended to have teeth professionally cleaned frequently to avoid tooth loss.

What to expect

The patient will have a clean, healthy and beautiful smile. Dental cleanings are often followed by a fluoride application to help prevent cavities. On occasion, patients might experience light sensitivity that usually resolves in a few days.
