Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso opened an oral health clinic June 22.
The 38,000-square-foot clinic will provide additional education opportunities to dental students, who will serve patients under the supervision of faculty doctors. An additional goal of the clinic is to provide low-cost, quality dental care to local residents.
A division of the Woody L. Hunt School of Dental Medicine, construction of the facility began in July 2020. It includes 145 chairs, operating stations, faculty and staff spaces, a public lobby, and a waiting area.
Services to be offered at the clinic include diagnostic and emergency clinic care, implants, oral surgery, periodontal care, preventive care, fillings, root canal treatment, crowns and bridges.
