Urgent care is also available for dental injuries and other acute problems. Another advantage of the Dental Service is close collaboration with other MIT Medical specialists. Often what seems to be a dental problem turns out to be a sinus infection or other medical problem. The proximity of so many medical specialists makes it easy to consult with them, and MIT Dental patients get better care as a result. No referral is needed.

Unless you already have your own dental insurance, you pay for each dental care service. Fees are competitive with other Boston area dentists, with a significant discount for registered MIT students who don't have their own dental insurance through their family or elsewhere. You may pay at the time of service with a check, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover. If you have your own dental insurance and provide claim information, we'll be happy to file claims for you. Medical's Dental Service accepts Delta Dental and most other dental insurance plans, but does not provide dental insurance.
