Getting the care they need
Not everyone has the money to get the dental care they need — for themselves or for their children. Through the Patient Assistance Fund, you can make a huge difference for local families who need our help.
Your support allows us to provide basic disease control and emergency dental procedures to adult and pediatric patients with limited financial resources. The fund assists with the costs of the most common procedures — extractions, exams, x-rays, fillings, infection control and pain management.
Thank you for helping us ensure that the most vulnerable people in Omaha and beyond have access to the finest dental care available, free of charge or for significantly reduced rates.
Every gift to the dental school has a tremendous ripple effect, not just for our students and school but the community at large.
Each year, the School of Dentistry serves more than 14,000 patients (more than 2,100 of them children). By caring for so many patients, our students are not only fulfilling Creighton’s mission of service and justice for others; they’re becoming some of the most practice-ready dentists in the nation.
You can make a difference today!

Shape the future of Creighton dentists
“There's nothing else I'd want to do but be a dentist, and there's nowhere else I'd want to study but Creighton's dental school. It's just one of the best, most well-rounded dental programs in the country. And the school's Jesuit mission to give back to the community aligns with my own values. I want to help serve the underserved, and Creighton has given me many opportunities to do so.”
— Emily Snodgrass, School of Dentistry
