    3. Treatment process
    4. End of treatment

    Preliminary examination and decision regarding treatment

    The preliminary examination is the first step to becoming a patient at the School of dentistry. A dentist will examine you and decide if we can offer to treat your problem.

    If we can, you will be registered as a patient and you will get a new appointment for the actual treatment.

    If the treatment is too complicated, we will guide you to other options.

    When the treatment is finished, you are no longer a patient, and you will need a new preliminary examination, if you want another/new treatment.

    To get a preliminary treatment, log on to our online booking and book and pay for an appointment. You can pay by credit card online. 

    Please note that the School of Dentistry is a place of education and that we are not obligated to provide treatment. The treatment types that are offered must be part of the educational aims of the dental education, and only patients who have these needs can be admitted.


    Treatment and terms 

    Who performs the treatments and when?

    Treatments are carried out by dental students under supervision of qualified dentists (clinical instructors). The treatment time is usually longer than treatment at a private dentist.

    Treatments are performed on weekdays between 8:15 and 13:30.

    What does a treatment include?

    You will only receive a specific type of treatment and we therefore recommend that you visit your own dentist regularly for check-ups.

    Do I have to pay for treatment?

    Treatments are not free, but the prices are a little bit lower than at a private dentist, as you only pay for materials.

    There are different prices for the different types of treatments. The dentist who performs the preliminary examination will decide what type of treatment you need.

    You will be informed of the price before treatment is started.
