Screening Clinic

New Patient Screening Appointments

Thank you for your interest in becoming a patient at Texas A&M College of Dentistry.

We are a teaching institution in which treatment is provided by students and supervised by licensed clinical faculty.  A screening appointment is necessary to determine if your oral health needs match the educational needs of our students. 

Please call 214-828-8981 and an appointment will be scheduled for the next available date. 

If you are accepted as a patient, the cost of the screening visit is $120, which includes registration, screening and x-rays.

If you are not accepted as a patient, there is no charge for the screening visit.

Please note, the screening appointment can take up to 4 hours.  No dental care will be rendered during screening exams.

Fees for service are not based on income and are due in full each visit.

• Accepted forms of payment are cash, check, money order, Master Card, Visa, Discover, or American Express.
• Insurance, including Medicaid/Medicare is not accepted as a form of payment for adult dental care.
• There are no payment plan options available.
• No children are allowed in the adult clinic areas or can be left unattended in the waiting areas.

After the screening appointment

As a teaching institution, we assign a limited number of patients to a dental student based on his/her educational needs; it may take several months before your first appointment. The student or his/her Patient Appointment Associate (PAA) will contact you to set up your first oral diagnosis appointment.

• Parking is available in the surrounding area. (Please read all parking lot signs carefully).
• Patients are only accepted for the completion of ALL dental care needed.
• You are responsible for seeking all emergency/immediate dental care outside the school until you are assigned to a student for treatment.
