Welcome to the Patient Clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto.

Under the supervision of qualified dentists, our students successfully treat thousands of patients every year in our many dental clinics.

We are a full service facility and provide fillings, dentures, braces, bridges, implants, children's dentistry, root canals, crowns, treatment of gum disease, extractions of wisdom teeth and more. Some programmes have a long waiting list, particularly for braces and implants.

If you wish to take advantage of our dental services, this section of the web site will help you to understand the process of becoming a patient at our Faculty.

Your initial step will be to book an appointment for yourself in our Oral Diagnosis department in order for a determination to be made of your treatment needs as well as your suitability for our programme. Before booking this appointment, you should be aware of a few points:

• Treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry is ALWAYS provided by our student dentists. Students are ALWAYS supervised by qualified dental practitioners.
• Because treatment is provided by the students, who have limited clinical time available to them, your treatment will take longer to complete than it would in a private practice care setting.
• As a school, there are certain times of the year when the Faculty clinics close altogether. These include a break over the Christmas holidays when we are closed from mid-December until after New Year's and the end of the school year at the beginning of July until the end of August.
• We have extremely limited patient care available in July and August.

If you feel that you would be able to work within these parameters and are willing to be patient for our student dentists, please call 416-979-4927 and ask to book a screening appointment. PLEASE NOTE: This telephone number can be extremely busy and the wait can be quite long. Once you have become a patient of the Faculty, you will be assigned a student provider and should not need to call this number again so please be patient with our staff as you wait for your call to be answered. You should avoid calling between 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. and again between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. as these are the busiest times on the phone lines.
