Dental Hygiene Clinic

The Vermont Tech Dental Hygiene Clinic offers a range of services for patients interested in keeping their teeth healthy for a lifetime.

Located at our Williston campus, our dental hygiene students work with you in an educational setting, always closely monitored by their faculty. Because the care we provide is very comprehensive, appointments last longer than those you would experience in a traditional dental office. You should plan on a 2 to 3 hour appointment per visit. In most cases, more than one appointment is required to complete your dental hygiene care.

Restorative Services:

During the months of February, March and April, 2022, our clinic has a 4th year Dental Student (an extern) from the University of New England who is working in our clinic and is available to provide some restorative care for our patients. These services may include fillings, crown preps, crowns, fabrication of bruxing (night) guards and simple extractions. Current dental radiographs (within the last year) and a complete oral exam will be required in order to create individualized patient treatment plans. Services will be provided at reduced fees compared to traditional dental offices.

Infectious Disease Policy

The policy of the Vermont Technical College Dental Hygiene Department is to not discriminate on the basis that an individual has a chronic communicable disease. The curriculum provides thorough instruction in the most current principles regarding infection control and the U.S. Center for Disease Control Guidelines. All students and employees are expected to understand and adhere to these guidelines.

Due to COVID-19 everyone will be screened prior to entering the Dental Hygiene building. Patients will need to wait in a socially-distanced line in front of the building, or in their vehicle during inclement weather, for their turn to enter and be screened. Students and faculty will be wearing significant personal protective equipment so the clinic will be quite cool. Patients are advised to dress warmly and/or bring their own blankets to the clinic as we will are not able to provide them for patients. All patients are required to wear a mask to enter the building.
