HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

All clinics are fee-for-service. Fees vary by both the type of care (cleaning, orthodontic, etc.) and the provider of the care (student clinic, dental faculty, speciality clinic, etc.).


Student Clinics

At the Student Clinics, current dental students provide dental care for patients, while supervised by the school's licensed faculty dentists.

While the Student Clinic charges the least, wait times will likely be longer than in the other clinics.

Call 734-763-6933 to make an appointment for a Student Clinic.


Graduate Specialty Clinics

At the Graduate Specialty Clinics, dentists with a DDS degree (or equivalent) provide dental care for patients. The dentists are either graduate students, specializing in a particular field of dentistry or a member of the faculty.

These clinics typically charge fees that are much less than a standard private dental clinic but more than the student clinics.


Dental Faculty Associates Clinic

At the DFA Clinic, faculty dentists provide dental care for patients. The dentists at the DFA are considered experts in their field.

The DFA fee schedule is similar to a private dental practice and most insurances are accepted.

Visit the Dental Faculty Associates Clinic or call 734-764-3155 to schedule an appointment.

The students there were amazing. They were attentive to my tooth and understanding of my fear of the dentist. By far the best dentist experience I've ever had.

They worked so well with my special-needs son. They are patient and kind.
