We regret that we are unable to take new patients on an emergency basis. If you need emergency care, you may call:

• Harborview (206) 731-3189

Dental Clinic Office Hours

Monday to Thursday	8:00 am - 4:30 pm
Friday	Reduced hours (please call)

Please plan to arrive early to update your health history if needed, and make any changes in address, phone number or insurance. Also bring your insurance card or current DSHS coupon with you.

Please be advised that new adult patient exams are by appointment and usually take two to three visits. Initial cleaning appointments may take one to four visits. Restorative appointments range from one to three hours.

Our restorative appointments (fillings, root canals, crowns and bridges) may need to be scheduled months ahead of time due to the number of patients we see. Sometimes extractions and root canals will be referred to another facility in order to complete them in a timely manner.

Dental Clinic Policies

Our goal is to provide student dental education and for our patients to receive quality dental care. To ensure efficiency, we have created policies to enhance and protect the dental clinic:

• Payment is required at the time of service. We accept cash, checks, and VISA or Master Card for your payment convenience.
• Certain DSHS coupons with CNP in the lower right corner are accepted for dental services rendered. A copy of the current coupon will be made at each patient visit.
• A strict cancellation policy is adhered to due to students clinical requirements. We require notice at least 24 hours before your dental appointment to re-schedule it.
• A parent or a guardian must accompany all patients under the age of 18 and stay on site during the treatment.
• As a courtesy, we submit insurance claims on your behalf. However be aware that you are ultimately responsible for any fees incurred. You are responsible to bring in all needed information and to advise us when that information has changed.
