New patients who are veterans or military personnel (with proof of service, such as a VA ID card or military ID) can receive a free dental exam and free X-rays, plus a cleaning for $35. Patients who enroll in a comprehensive treatment plan may also receive a $100 voucher toward future dental services.

Appointments are required and limited. They are available at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. To schedule an appointment, call 216-368-8730.

Patients will be treated by third- and fourth-year dental students and residents under the supervision of dental school faculty. For follow-up care, clinic patients can expect discounts of 30% to 50%, compared with standard dental rates, depending on the procedure. 

Each year, the school's students and residents treat more than 8,000 patients, including university students, employees and members of the general public, at reduced prices.

“This is our way of saying a special 'thank you' to our war heroes,” said Ali Syed, associate professor in the dental school’s Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences. “We want to reach out to the military personnel in our community and offer the care they deserve, which is not only affordable but also of the highest quality.”
