- Oral and maxillofacial surgery
- Restorative dentistry (including operative, fixed and removable prosthodontics and implant dentistry)
- Orthodontics

The students and residents provide dental care under the supervision of licensed dentists.
The Hialeah Dental Clinic has one full-time faculty member, several part-time faculty members and 50 volunteer dentists from the community. All provide continuous supervision of the residents in the clinic. Seven dental assistants provide support services to the dental residents and three administrative assistants provide clerical support to the office and program. The Hialeah Dental Clinic is one of four college-owned satellite dental clinics in the Statewide Network for Community Oral Health at the University of Florida College of Dentistry.
