New Patients / Make an Appointment

“I highly urge people to go there. The treatment you get is superb. [The student clinician] is very meticulous. The teacher will talk to the student right in front of me, which I enjoy. It’s a tremendous learning experience for me. You’re going to go there, and you’re going to walk out and go ‘Wow.’ ”

Welcome to the UW School of Dentistry where we have several options available to manage your oral health care. Please contact us by choosing one of the options below.

New Patients

Please call 206.616.6996 to make an appointment for a new patient screening appointment. This appointment will determine which clinic best meets your treatment needs.  A $20.00 screening fee will be charged. If you have dental insurance with one of our contracted insurers, this fee may a covered benefit of your plan.

During your screening appointment, a brief oral evaluation and assessment of your dental needs and concerns will be completed to determine if your dental needs are appropriate for our teaching mission.  This screening is not a complete examination and during this visit we will not be providing a definitive diagnosis, treatment plan, or cost estimates. 

If accepted as a patient, and you decide to receive dental care at the School of Dentistry, a Comprehensive Examination appointment will be scheduled for a fee of $70.00 – $100.00 plus an additional $75.00 – $140.00 for x-rays.

Please visit our Dental Student Clinic page for more information about becoming a patient at the School of Dentistry. If you already have a referral to one of our clinics, please visit our Clinics page.
