Affordable dental care in Detroit
Detroit Mercy Dental is one place to ask about dental-school care. It screens new patients, and acceptance into the student clinic is not guaranteed.

How to start at Detroit Mercy
The student clinic lists 313-494-6700 for screening appointments at its Corktown campus, 2700 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Call before going.
Check the official sourceUnderstand the first visit
The school separates screening from the later exam and treatment. Ask what each part costs and whether any images are needed; screening is not a promise of a cleaning.
Check the official sourceAllow enough time
The school says student-clinic care takes longer than private-practice care and may require multiple visits. Ask whether the schedule fits your work and transportation.
Check the official sourceIf the school is not a fit
Community clinics are another route to explore. NIH's dental-care guide explains dental schools and income-based community care; Kiplet helps you compare your next options.

“I'd like to become a patient. What do screening, the exam, and any needed X-rays cost, and how long are the visits?”
