General Information Regarding Appointments

• Please keep in mind that our clinic is an educational setting, and each appointment with a student is 3.5 hours. Services are provided by RCBC Dental Hygiene students while they are supervised and evaluated by licensed dental professionals.
• As a new patient, the first appointment is a screening appointment that takes about 45 minutes and is no charge. It is important to note you will not receive a cleaning during this visit. Upon the completion of the screening appointment, we can schedule your appointments with a student for further treatment.
• Please note accepting an appointment with a student is a commitment that you will arrive promptly for your scheduled appointments and fulfill your obligation to that student by staying the required 3 and a half (3.5) hours. Depending on your dental hygiene needs, more than one appointment may be necessary to complete your treatment.
