General Dentistry Advanced Education Clinics
General Practice Residency (GPR)
Description of Care
The LSUHSC School of Dentistry General Practice Residency (GPR) treats dental patients
in New Orleans located at the dental school. A clinic at the University Medical Center
(UMC) is also open for medically complex patients who cannot be treated safely outside
of a hospital setting.
Residents in the one-year GPR program are dentists who function as part of a hospital team and gain competency in diagnosing and rendering comprehensive and preventive dental treatment for the medically compromised patient. Residents are closely supervised by LSUHSC School of Dentistry faculty members.
Become a Patient
Appointments at the GPR clinics are made by dentist referral only. To fax a referral letter to GPR, dentist's should indicate the patient's name, contact
number, and the specific reason for the referral. Doctors should call 504-941-8408
or fax to 504-941-8394 to refer a patient.
To contact the clinic at UMC, call 504-702-5126 or fax to 504-702-3170. Be sure to indicate that the referral is to the GPR clinic.
Treatment Fees
LSUSD General Practice Residency fees will typically be 1/2 to 2/3 the cost of private
practice. Before providing each patient with an estimate of treatment costs, a thorough
examination and the necessary x-rays will be performed. With this information, we
can diagnose the case, develop a treatment plan that helps meet the patient's goals,
and provide the patient with an estimate of the costs involved.
Treatment in other departments at LSUSD requires additional fees.
