Student Dental Clinic
UT Dentistry’s Student Dental Clinic offers patients a reduced-cost alternative for dental care they can trust. Under the close supervision of expert School of Dentistry faculty, predoctoral dental students provide affordable dental services for patients 18 years and over in exchange for an extra investment of a patient’s time.
A screening appointment is required to become a patient with our student dentists. During your screening, our faculty dentists will evaluate your health history and dental care needs to ensure our student dentists can meet your treatment requirements. A screening does not guarantee an appointment in our Student Dental Clinic. If your dental needs require more advanced or specialty care, you will be referred for care to a resident clinic within UT Dentistry.
Provider type: Student
Appointments
To schedule an appointment, call 210-450-3700 or chat at the orange bubble in the bottom right from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. During non-business hours, please complete the screening appointment request form and a care representative will contact you to schedule your appointment. Prior to dental care with a student dentist, patients must first have a screening appointment with our faculty dentists. Dental care in the Student Dental Clinic costs about 60 percent less than private practice care but appointments can take two to three times longer than those with a private practice dentist.
Payments and Insurance
Screening appointments require a $50 payment at the time of the appointment booking. This payment covers the cost of the screening and associated x-rays.
Fees at the Student Dental Clinic are about 60 percent lower than private practice but vary by procedure.
The Student Dental Clinic does not accept dental insurance, and payment is expected at the time of service. Fees can be paid by cash, check or credit card. We also offer online payments.
