Our clinic is located at the University of Alaska Anchorage in the Allied Health Sciences
building. Our clinic provides opportunities for our students and staff, as well as
community members, by providing dental care in a learning environment during the academic
year (September-April).
Since patients will be working with students, the treatments provided are at a discounted
price, but the length required per appointment is 3-3.5 hours.
Our students provide treatment to patients under the supervision of licensed dentists
from the community. Our clinic is HIPAA compliant and maintains the highest level
of infection control procedures for patient safety.
