Dental Community Clinic
KCal News Profile of Clinic
About us
Our clinic welcomes patients from both on-campus and off-campus communities. However, the services provided are limited to radiographs, teeth cleaning, and temporary restorations for patients who meet the students' training needs. The students will carry out all dental procedures under the supervision of licensed dentists and dental hygienists.
A licensed dentist must screen all patients before any treatment to ensure that their case can be treated safely. No payment or insurance is necessary for services.
Please be aware that space is limited, and if the clinic is full, patients may be asked to return on different days.
**Current Status:** Our dental clinic is currently at full capacity for patient care and is not accepting new patients. However, if you have previously been treated at our clinic, we invite you to return for maintenance care. Please fill out the interest form again, and we will contact you as soon as a space becomes available.
The clinic is closed for patient care during the Summer session (June, July, and August).

Notice to Patients: Potential Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Risk
Dear Patients,
Welcome to the Dental Hygiene Student Clinic at West Los Angeles College! We appreciate your trust in allowing our students to provide you with quality dental care while they learn and grow in their clinical skills. We would like to take a moment to inform you about an important aspect of your visit. As part of the educational process, there is a potential risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. While our clinic adheres to strict safety protocols and our students receive comprehensive training in infection control measures, we ask for your understanding of the inherent risks in a clinical environment. The health and safety of our patients are our top priorities, and we are committed to maintaining a safe setting for everyone involved.
