Emergency Care
Patients who are new to the College of Dentistry or returning after an interruption in treatment receive limited emergency care during clinic hours, with priority given for the relief of pain or swelling. While we respect your time, it is important to be aware that there may be an unavoidable waiting period due to the unpredictability of emergencies. Please note:
- A $33.00 non-refundable fee will be charged for an emergency exam.
- There will be additional charges for necessary radiographs and for any dental treatment provided.
- Additional appointments may be necessary to complete the final treatment, and a cost estimate can be provided.
Call 319-335-7499 for more information or to make an emergency appointment.
After hour emergency care is available through University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, or your local emergency room. Call 319-356-1616 and ask for the General Practice Resident on call. There will be charges for emergency room services in addition to any charges for dental treatment required.
