CPCC Dental Hygiene Clinic

CPCC Dental Hygiene Clinic is an affordable dental cleaning and hygiene clinic located at 1335 Elizabeth Avenue in the Elizabeth neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. The clinic is operated by Central Piedmont Community College and provides supervised dental hygiene services to eligible patients at significantly reduced cost, making it a practical option for adults without dental insurance in the Charlotte area.

Services at this clinic focus on preventive dental hygiene care: professional dental cleanings, dental X-rays, and general oral health assessments. The work is performed by dental hygiene students enrolled in CPCC’s accredited dental hygiene program, under direct supervision of licensed dental instructors.

Patients who use this clinic receive thorough, methodical care. Because the work is performed in a supervised educational setting, appointments take longer than they would at a private dental office—typically a full morning or afternoon session. Patients should plan accordingly and allow for extended appointment times.

Eligibility for the clinic’s patient program involves an initial screening to confirm that a patient’s dental needs fall within the scope of what hygiene students can treat. The clinic does not perform extractions or surgical procedures. Patients with complex restorative needs will require referral elsewhere for those services.

The Elizabeth Avenue location is in the Elizabeth neighborhood of Charlotte, close to the campus of Carolinas Medical Center and accessible from Hawthorne Lane, Randolph Road, and the Midtown area. The 28204 zip code is well within Charlotte’s urban core, making the clinic accessible by bus as well as by car.

Current screening availability and appointment openings fluctuate throughout the academic year. Patients are advised to call the clinic directly to confirm current scheduling—availability may differ from what automated recordings indicate. Walk-in screening is not available; prospective patients must be added to the patient pool through the intake process.
