CCD Dental Hygiene Clinic

Community College of Denvers Dental Hygiene Clinic, located at Lowry, provides preventive and therapeutic dental services to adults and children (ages four and older).

This clinic is a self-supporting, non-profit facility operated by college faculty, staff, and students.

Dental hygiene studentsinstructed and supervised by dental hygiene facultyprovide all dental hygiene care while the clinic dentists provide dental exams for every patient.

Patients with medical or dental conditions that hinder the proper treatment may not be acceptable for a clinic appointment in this educational facility. In certain circumstances, your physician may need to be consulted before you undergo dental hygiene treatment in the clinic. A thorough screening of your health is for your protection.

Children under four (4) years of age are not considered mature enough for clinical care in this teaching clinic, and all children age 12 or under must be accompanied by an adult for the entire appointment. Minors (under 18 years of age) must have the medical/dental history form completed and signed by a parent or legal guardian at each appointment and before services will be rendered.

Your first appointment will be a screening to determine which of your dental needs can be met in the Dental Hygiene Clinic. After this initial visit, additional appointments will be scheduled to complete your treatment. A specific treatment plan will be explained to you; generally a complete prophylaxis (teeth cleaning) requires a minimum of two (2) three-hour appointments. If you have not had your teeth cleaned recently, you should plan on several appointments.

Patients should arrange an appointment with a dentist of their choice for a comprehensive oral examination and diagnosis following completion of the services provided at this clinic.

This is a teaching institution and treatment is completed more slowly than in a private dental office.
