Dental Faculty Practice

Become a Dental Faculty Practice patient

At the Indiana University School of Dentistry’s Dental Faculty Practice, we offer professional oral health care services in a convenient on-campus setting.

The Dental Faculty Practice (DFP) is a general dentistry and multispecialty office staffed by licensed dentists who are full-time faculty members at the School of Dentistry. We’re located in downtown Indianapolis at the IU School of Dentistry.

Students do not treat patients at the Dental Faculty Practice; all care is provided by faculty members.

Do dental students treat patients in the DFP?

No. DFP members are licensed dentists who hold full-time faculty positions at the School of Dentistry. The DFP is run in a manner similar to private practices in the community.

The School of Dentistry also is home to several clinics where patients are treated by students training to become dentists, hygienists, and other oral health professionals. Services in those clinics are provided at a reduced cost. If you’d like to make an appointment to be treated in one of those clinics, call Patient Services at 317-274-7433.

Where is the DFP Clinic?

The DFP Clinic is housed in the IU School of Dentistry, located at 1121 W. Michigan Street. We are on the fourth floor of the building, which is directly west of the Vermont Street parking garage. The receptionist in the main lobby (on the first floor near the patient entrance) will be happy to direct you to our clinic located in the original building.

Where do I park?

Complimentary parking is provided in the Vermont Street parking garage, located at 1004 W. Vermont Street. Take a gate ticket to enter the garage, then bring the ticket with you to your appointment for validation.

ADA-compliant surface parking is available immediately to the south of the Fritts Clinical Care Center or in the surface lot across Vermont Street from the school.
