Make an Appointment
Current Patients
A current patient is someone who is actively being treated at any of our clinics or has been seen in the last 12 months. Otherwise, you will need to start as a New Patient.
The best way to make or reschedule your appointment is to first contact your student dentist directly; otherwise, please call your group practice administrator or clinic. You can also visit our Patient Access site to request an appointment or navigate your dental records.
New Patients
Thank you for your interest in becoming a patient of the UCLA Dental Clinics, we look forward to treating you. The first step to making an appointment is to determine the provider level and cost of care that works best for you. If you already have a referral to a specialty clinic, call the clinic directly.
UCLA Dental Clinics in Westwood
Call the general appointment line at (310) 206-3904. You will receive a code 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 $95 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.

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 $45 in the student clinic.

Faculty Group Dental Practice
Call the general appointment line at (310) 794-5750 or email fgdp@dentistry.ucla.edu.
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.
Please note that treatment at one of our specialized clinics, or at the UCLA Faculty Group Dental Practice has higher fees, as does the private sector.
