Free dental cleaning if qualified. If you come in for a free screening and qualify for a deep cleaning you will be able to get the cleaning for free. You will be used as a test for a student for either dental hygiene mock boards or real boards. More information will be given at the screening.

Free screening dates are May 16, 23 and 30 from 9 am to 2 pm. Contact us on any week day at 206-344-4423 for your screening appointment.

SCCC dental hygiene students need dental patients who want to have dental exams, cleaning and fillings if needed. We provide top quality dental care for inexpensive school pricing. If you have not had your teeth cleaned in about four years or over, we are a great option. Please contact us for an appointment.

Clinic Location: The Seattle Vocational Institute, a part of the Seattle Community College District, is located at 2120 South Jackson Street, Seattle, WA 98144. This is a tall green building on the corner of Jackson Street and 21st Street South. The clinic is on the 4th floor, on the right as you leave the elevator or stairway.

There is usually street parking in the neighborhood around 20th AVE. S. It is a good idea to come a little early to the first assessment appointment to have time to fill out the necessary paperwork.
