Dental Service Fees
Below is a list of the basic services that are provided by the PSU Dental Clinic. More comprehensive information regarding additional services and fees may be obtained at your initial visit. To schedule a dental appointment, please call the dental reception desk at 503-725-2611.
Your student account will be billed for most of our services. You will be informed in advance if pre-payment is necessary for certain procedures. A brochure containing the information is also available in the Dental clinic and at the front reception counter in the Center for Student Health and Counseling.
**Please note: The Standard of Care in Oregon requires that current radiographs are available prior to providing treatment to a patient. If a patient without a medical justification refuses to allow radiographs to be taken, even with the offer to sign a waiver, then providing treatment to that patient would violate the Standard of Care in Oregon (taken from the Oregon Board of Dentistry newsletter February 2012). If new patients have current [within the last year] radiographs from their last dentist they can have them sent to the Portland State dental clinic or bring them to their new patient appointment.
