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 $20.00 for cleaning. The cost for sealants is $12.00 each and the costs for reproducing x-rays are as follows: $30.00 for full mouth, $20.00 for bite wings or panoramic, and $5.00 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. For information regarding blood borne pathogens and infection control please refer to clinical education and our clinic manual pages 4 through 19. Our students are taught to follow stringent infection control policies.

Please remember that we are a teaching facility and 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.

Please phone (423) 439-4514 for an appointment. We are located in room 70 just off the breeze way (which is a walkway through the building) in Lamb Hall which is number 19 on the campus map or you can locate the building by choosing Main Campus and Lamb Hall.
