You're on the ChairMatch patient list
A student will reach out when they have an opening that fits your schedule. That can take a few days to a few weeks, depending on the semester.
When they do, they'll confirm the cost, the clinic address and how long to plan for.

Good to know before you sign up
How much does it cost?
School clinics charge a reduced fee, and the amount varies by school. The student will tell you the exact cost before you book anything.
Why does a student visit take longer?
Students are graded on being thorough, and an instructor checks their work along the way. Plan for 2 to 3 hours, and sometimes a second visit.
Who supervises the students?
Students treat patients under the supervision of licensed instructors, who review their work during your visit.
Does joining guarantee an appointment?
No. Students need patients with different needs at different points in their training, so wait times vary. You can ask to be removed from the list at any time.
In pain or have swelling? Please don't wait on this list. See a dentist or urgent care.
