You will receive a link to our Patient Access site that will allow you to initiate your new patient registration online.

Before becoming a patient at the UCLA Dental Clinics, you will be screened to determine if the General Clinic (pre-doctoral) is a good fit for your needs. The screening is free-of-charge. After screening and if accepted as a patient, you will be assigned to a student dentist and supervising faculty member from the UCLA School of Dentistry.

Once the screening process is complete, and if you are accepted as a potential teaching case in our student clinic, you will be scheduled for a comprehensive oral examination to assess the general state of your oral health and create a full-mouth treatment plan. The fee for the oral examination is $103 in the General Clinic, which includes a full mouth set of X-rays. 

If your case is complex, you may need specialized care at one of our Residency Clinics (including specialties), the Faculty Group Dental Practice, or possibly the private sector. 

Before becoming a patient at the UCLA Venice Dental Center, you will be screened by a faculty member to determine if your treatment needs are a good fit for the teaching environment. A full series of X-rays or basic X-rays will be taken as needed, determined by the screening faculty. The fee for the full series of X-rays is $93.

Once the screening process is complete, and if you are accepted as a potential teaching case in our student clinic, you will be scheduled for a comprehensive oral examination to assess the general state of your oral health and create a full-mouth treatment plan. The fee for the oral examination is $52 in the student clinic. 

If screened at the UCLA Venice Dental Center and your treatment needs are complex, you may be assigned to the Venice Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Residency clinic and a secondary screening with the residency Program Director may be required.  If you are accepted as a potential teaching case in the Venice AEGD Residency clinic, you will be scheduled for a comprehensive oral examination to assess the general state of your oral health and create a full-mouth treatment plan.  The fee for the oral examination is $111 in the Residency clinic.

After making your appointment, please download and complete the New Patient registration form online prior to your first appointment. For new patients under 18-years-old, in addition to the forms above, a separate health history form will be given to you at check-in. 

We ask that you please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow for new patient check–in.

If you can bring original X-rays from within the last two years, we may not need to take new ones. All digital x-rays should be sent to fgdp@dentistry.ucla.edu.
