dental clinic
Oral care facility
A dental clinic is a facility where dentists provide oral health care—examinations, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and other procedures.
The term often suggests a more utilitarian setting than a private dental office: The university runs a free dental clinic for low-income residents.
Some dental clinics specialize in particular services like orthodontics or oral surgery.
