UF Health St. Petersburg Dental Center

We're pleased that you are interested in becoming a patient at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. This page was prepared to acquaint you with the procedures and policies related to patient care and the benefits to you as a prospective patient. Please read this information carefully.

The St. Petersburg Dental Clinic is essentially an "in house" private practice where full-time University of Florida College of Dentistry residents treat patients. Because of high demand, our clinic accepts patients on a limited basis. We accept new patients as treatment of existing patients is completed. All types of general and specialty treatment are available. Fees are approximately 30% less than a private practice.

When our schedule allows, we accommodate walk-ins and same day appointments for limited emergency care to treat pain. We make every effort to see our patients in a timely manner. Limited care includes extractions, initiation of root canal therapy, temporary fillings, and other procedures to relieve pain. There is a minimum fee expected up front for the limited exam and payment of fees for any treatment is expected before treatment begins.

How to become a patient

To be considered for treatment in the resident clinics, call 727-893-5050. All fees are due at the time service is provided.

Patient rights

As a prospective patient, you have the right to considerate, respectful and confidential treatment regardless of race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability. If assigned to a student for treatment, you have the right to a thorough dental examination, a review of your medical history, and a complete explanation of treatment options. If you have a disability, such as sight or hearing impairment, or require wheelchair assistance, please call 727-893-5050. Every effort will be made to assist you during your dental treatment.
