What is a “teaching center”?
The St. Louis Dental Center is a collaboration between A.T. Still University’s Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health (ATSU-MOSDOH) and Affinia Healthcare. Your dental care is provided by dental teams led by faculty dentists from ATSU-MOSDOH and dental professionals from Affinia Healthcare. In addition to hygienists and other support staff, teams include students who are preparing for a career in dentistry at ATSU-MOSDOH. The education our students receive is invaluable and includes hundreds of hours of training and practice on human simulators. Because of our expert faculty and state-of-the-art dental center, students receive a much more expansive dental education. Our students are among the most clinically prepared and advanced dental graduates nationwide.
Will I be cared for by a “real” dentist?
Yes. Faculty supervisors at the St. Louis Dental Center have a DMD, DDS, or equivalent degree for the national standard for the practice of dentistry. Student doctors work under the close supervision of faculty members with care being provided by the student doctor with assistance from staff hygienists, dental assistants, and other staff.

We offer a full range of dental services including preventive services, cleanings, orthodontics (braces), dental implants, oral surgery, and virtually every type of restorative service.

What should I expect at my first appointment?
Our patients receive a comprehensive exam which includes X-rays, assessment of their gums and bone health, charting of all treatment needs and dental impressions to make models. Also, dental treatment needs are prioritized and then the patient is given the next appointment to start the treatment plan.
How much are your fees?
Because we are affiliated with a federally qualified health center, our fees are very reasonable with discounts of at least fifty percent from the St. Louis dental market. Specific fees for dental services will be explained to you before you receive treatment.
