Dental care is not provided free of charge. However, as a teaching institution, LSUSD's fees are substantially reduced from that of private practice. This courtesy is extended to patients due to the increased time required for care. Payment plans are not available because of the reduced fees; therefore, patients are expected to pay for services at the time of the appointment. Any treatment that involves laboratory costs must be paid in advance of the procedure. Cash, personal checks, VISA and MASTERCARD are accepted. Treatment plans and associated costs are subject to change.

Private dental insurance is not accepted in lieu of payment; however, the students can assist in completing claim forms for the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. For questions regarding private insurance please call (504) 619-8630. Medicaid, which covers most dental care for children under 21 and dentures for adults, is accepted and the patient will incur no out-of-pocket expenses if the care is pre-authorized.
