The CU Dental Team Care Clinic provides thorough, comprehensive care at significantly discounted rates. Because we are a teaching facility, care is provided by dental students under the supervision of highly-skilled faculty who oversee all aspects of treatment. Most appointments are scheduled for three hours to allow time for the teaching process. However, this extra time means you get expert opinions from multiple dental professionals.
Due to limited capacity, we are currently not screening new patients.
Before becoming a patient, you will receive a free-of-charge screening exam to determine if your dental needs can be addressed by a supervised dental student or if you need specialized care at one of our advanced care clinics.
The screening exam will last approximately 1 hour 15 minutes and may include dental x-rays, if needed. X-rays cost up to $90, and payment will be due at time of the appointment. You may also bring x-rays from another dental provider if the x-rays were taken within the past 2 years.
To schedule a screening appointment, please call: (303) 724-2273

Before your appointment, you will need to complete the virtual check-in process.
With fees typically 30-50% lower than private practices, the CU Dental Team Care Clinic is a great option for patients without insurance and those who want their insurance dollars to go further.
The CU Dental Team Care Clinic accepts cash, check (with ID), debit cards, credit cards, Health First Colorado (formerly Medicaid), and is a Delta Dental in-network provider. The school will accept other forms of dental insurance as an out-of-network provider. Medicare and payment plans are not accepted at this time.
We are always available to help you with insurance claims and paperwork, and we are happy to work with your insurance provider to make sure you understand your insurance benefits. Regardless of insurance status, the patient is responsible for timely payments of any fees.
