Dental Clinic

The San Juan College Dental Hygiene Program offers affordable Dental Hygiene services in a state-of-the-art Dental Clinic. Services are provided by students in the Dental Hygiene Program and are supervised by fully licensed Dental Hygienists and Dentists.

---

Since the Dental Hygiene students are held to the highest possible standards of care, and each procedure is meticulously checked by faculty, patients can expect to receive excellent treatment at a reasonable price.  Since students are learning these procedures, patients can expect also that these procedures will take significantly longer to complete in the school setting than they would in a private practice.

If you would like to contact the Dental Hygiene Clinic, or are interested in becoming a patient please call: (505) 566-3126.
