Rutgers School of Dental Medicine Dental Clinics

Initial Appointment

Clinic hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

To schedule your first appointment and evaluation, call 973-972-4242. If you experience delays due to high call volume, email [email protected]. Please provide your name and phone number; an administrative assistant will return your call to set up an appointment.

Our dental clinics are staffed by dental students who are under the ever-present guidance and supervision of faculty. Therefore, treatment typically takes longer than it would at a private dental office. Your screening visit can take up to four hours to complete, so please arrive promptly and devote enough time.
