Faculty Dental Practice

In the LSUSD Faculty Dental Practice, faculty members provide state of the art dental care. Patients benefit from an environment where education, research and patient care collectively come together, and where innovation, learning and best practices are the norm. Faculty are able to stay abreast of the latest techniques in dental care, learn about recent research breakthroughs and technological advancements in dentistry, and enjoy the opportunity to easily consult with colleagues and specialists on difficult cases. General dentists and specialists are available to provide care.

In contrast to the Student Clinics, patients can expect an experience similar to what one might expect in a private dental office. Faculty Dental Practice is open to all patients, and fees are comparable to those charged by private dentists. The clinic is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.
