Becoming a patient

Screening registration form

The Adult Main Clinic is accepting new patients. 
To be considered, please complete the screening form below. 

What’s next?

  • After submission, a staff member will reach out to book your screening appointment.
  • Wait times can vary depending on student availability and the number of applicants. 
Your first visit is a short assessment to determine your dental needs and whether our student clinicians can provide your care. If you're a good fit, you’ll be matched with a student who will follow up to schedule a full examination. Please note: wait times can vary depending on student availability and academic schedules.

For treatment to progress smoothly you should:

  • Be available for at least one clinic session every week. Your student will plan an appointment schedule for you.
  • Each appointment may be up to three hours in length.
  • Please be on time.
  • If you cannot keep an appointment, please contact your student at least forty-eight (48) hours before the appointment. This will allow the student to appoint another patient.
  • Cancellation of two booked appointments with less than 48 hours notice will result in dismissal from the clinic.
  • Pay regularly as treatments are completed.

Patients and prospective patients are advised that not everyone is suitable to become or remain a patient in the teaching clinics of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry Dental Clinics due to the teaching requirements for our students. The following criteria may indicate unsuitability:

  • A lack of medical information
  • Extensive and/or complex dental treatment required
  • Patient management challenges are beyond the capability of an undergraduate student
  • Complex medical history
  • Dental treatment needs which are not compatible with our educational program
  • A combination of any of the above criteria
Prospective patients are reviewed on entry to the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry dental clinics and periodically thereafter. They may be found to be unsuitable to be treated in the Schulich Medicine & Dentistry dental clinics or, due to the criteria above, may be asked to seek dental care in an alternative facility after being a patient of the Schulich clinics.
