CODA accredited dental program finder

The official register of accredited dental and dental-hygiene schools, where supervised student clinics treat the public at a large discount.

Program finderDental and vision

Best for

People who need routine or restorative dental work and can trade time for a much lower price.

Why Kave includes this

Dental-hygiene school clinics in particular are the most consistently overlooked discount in dentistry — cleanings and preventive work at a fraction of private rates, in nearly every state. Kave links the accreditation register rather than a marketing list, because accreditation is the thing that makes a student clinic safe to use.

Expected cost
Each school publishes its own fee schedule, commonly 30–60% below private practice. Hygiene-school cleanings are often the cheapest option in a region.
Insurance requirement
None. Many schools also bill insurance and Medicaid.
Who qualifies
Generally open to the public. Some procedures require a case suitable for teaching.
Where it is available
Nationwide (United States)
How you use it
In person

Limitations Kave wants you to know about

  • Appointments take considerably longer because faculty check the work.
  • Complex cases may be declined as unsuitable for a student clinic.
  • Availability follows the academic calendar, and clinics close between terms.
  • This is a register of schools, not a booking system — you contact each clinic yourself.
