Dental and Oral Health Clinic
By choosing a student clinic, you'll be helping to grow the next generation of dentists in your community. You'll also get a very affordable and fully supervised service.
Our students are fully supervised during each treatment. A registered dental practitioner will provide guidance and can also assist with the treatment if required.
Because we appreciate the time you spend to help train our students, the cost for each procedure is substantially less than with a registered dentist. You'll get more information about the costs at the time you book.
Please be aware that services provided at our student clinics cannot be claimed via Medicare or your private health insurance. This is because our students don't have provider numbers for claims to be lodged against.
At our student clinics, we talk you through everything we do and we're very thorough with each procedure. This also means that our students may take longer than our registered dentists, so you'll need to set aside a bit more time than usual.
Care without charge may be available for eligible patients under 18 years of age. Eligibility is determined at the time of assessment and may vary depending on clinical, educational, and operational factors.
Patients under 18 years of age will not be able to make claims under the Child Dental Benefit's Schedule within Charles Sturt University Dental and Oral Health Clinics.
All care is provided in university teaching clinics by students enrolled in accredited dental and oral health programs. Care is delivered under the direct supervision of registered dental practitioners.
Care is provided based on clinical need and suitability for student learning. Not all conditions or treatment requests may be appropriate for management within a teaching clinic environment.
Where care is not suitable for delivery in a teaching clinic, patients may be referred to internal or external dental providers.
An initial assessment may be required before any treatment can be offered. Attendance for assessment does not guarantee that care will be provided.
The types of treatment offered, appointment availability, and timing are subject to student curriculum requirements, staff availability, and clinic capacity.
Charles Sturt University reserves the right to vary or withdraw these arrangements at any time in line with educational, clinical, or operational requirements.
