Patient Information:
Thank you for your interest in our program. We accept most patients but you must be screened to determine the type of cleaning you will need so we can match you with a student. Currently, we are finishing our semester and will not be screening patients until September. If you would like to be a patient, please call our office at 223-5710, the first week in September to schedule a screening appointment.
