You and your family will receive compassionate, patient-centered care. Our dentists offer general and specialized care for all ages. You can choose from these care options based on your dental needs, finances, and availability:
Âé¶¹AV Dental Associates (Faculty Practice)
Faculty members, including general dentists and specialists, provide direct patient care in an educational-practice setting. Fees are comparable to those in private practices in our area. To schedule an appointment with a Dental Associates dentist, call (706) 721-2696.
Resident Clinics
Residents hold a DMD or DDS or an equivalent foreign dental degree and are continuing their training in an advanced program. Care is provided under the supervision of experienced and certified, specialty clinical faculty. Patients whose treatment may be too complex or time-consuming for a dental student may be offered the opportunity to be treated by a resident. The fees for treatment by a resident are higher than those charged in the student clinic, but less than you might expect to pay elsewhere. The care provided by a resident will generally take less time than with our dental students.
Student Clinics
Patients are treated by dental students under the direct supervision of licensed dentists. Individuals are accepted as patients after a screening appointment based on their treatment needs and their availability. Fees in this program are the lowest of all the school’s programs (approximately 60 percent lower than private practice), but the time commitment is the greatest.
Pediatric Dentistry Clinic
Children 13 and under and Special Health Care Needs Children (SHCN) under 21 are seen in our Pediatric Dentistry Clinic. Call (706) 721-2716 for an appointment.
