About SHS Dental Services

We provide preventive and emergency care for dental needs. In addition to routine cleanings and emergency treatment, we offer complete exams, fillings, crowns, night guards, clear orthodontic retainers, custom athletic mouth guards, deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), sealants, home fluoride treatments, tooth bleaching, re-bonding of orthodontic retainers, panoramic and intra-oral radiographs, and other services at our  dental suites inside the Student Wellness Center.

Get More for Less

SHS Dental Service fees are generally 50 to 60% less than those of private practice dentists. All MSU students enrolled in 7+ credit hours pay the health/dental fee upon registration and are eligible for these discounted services. MSU student insurance is not necessary. Full payment for treatment is required at the time of service.  We accept cash, credit cards, CatCard, or can bill your student account. 

Cost of Services can be reviewed online, or you can contact the Dental Office at 406-994-2314.

Appointments

Patients can schedule appointments in person or by calling 994-2314.  

Patients needing dental treatments other than cleanings must first see the dentist for an examination or consultation. Please call 994-2314 to schedule an appointment.  Students who have recently been examined by a private dentist may have their records forwarded to the MSU dental clinic at dental@montana.edu .  

Failure to show for two dental appointments within a semester results in revocation of dental clinic privileges for the remainder of that semester.

Insurance

The MSU Student Insurance Plan does not cover dental services. (Exception: If you are 18 and under, your MSU Student Health Insurance may cover dental services.)  

SHS Dental Services can assist in submitting claims for private dental insurance. However, SHS Dental Services does not accept assignment of insurance benefits. Additionally, SHS Dental Services does not accept Medicaid, Indian Health Service, Veteran's Administration, or other third-party payments.
