I am three months into a treatment plan and nothing, not one thing has been done yet. Opinions change, dentists change, appointments are broken. Total lack of professionalism and disclosure. If you go there, expect nothing and you will be ok.

for any serious procedure. I went in on an emergency basis.Instead of fixing the fairly minor but quite painful problem they managed to break off a large part of the tooth while drilling. This has now escalated to my needing an implant (my only one)and I wouldn't consider going back. I agree with all the negative comments here. I always had great teeth and never had a bad dental experience till this one!!

I think the students do a very good job considering they are thrown into all kinds of situations at once. My student dr. was very good and attentive and answered my questions. The faculty supervisor was also friendly and took the time to explain his diagnosis. Don't expect to get a private dental experience because that is not what this is but they get the job done at a fraction of the cost.

Good: Nothing. Bad: I was treated by a platoon of dentists each giving a different diagnosis and course of action. In the end I am down three teeth, $1,000, five out of the way trips, a broken filling due to a rough extraction, and a super loose tooth from the same. I walked out yesterday still with unhealthy teeth and the advice to save $50,000 for implants.. Improvements: The method of haphazard diagnosis and treatment at the expense of the patient needs to be eliminated. The professors seem to mouth of a course of action without real merit. There is no central person treating you and as your chart is shuffled from speciality to speciality you are given different information. My money is hard earned and while the costs are less than a private dentist it is not cheap at the clinic. There seems no regard for wasting your dollars on treatments with no long term benefits.. Other: I would like to speak to a faculty member/administrator to rectify my poor treatment. I cannot chew on my right side anymore due to loss of teeth (although the professor tells me I can - how she knows what goe son in my mouth astounds me). I should be reimbursed for the filling that cracked due to the residents incompetence. To go back to the clinic and have an undergraduate repair anything ranks below a root canal..

I need a lot of dental work done and wanted the best bang for my buck so I went to NYU. I ended up with a great student doctor - she was very thorough and has done better work any private practice I've been to. The work can take a while but for me it was definitely worth it.

They told me I had two cavities I should get filled - supervising dentist agreed - but for some reason I had a bad gut feeling. I just got back from another dentist who informed me that I have no cavities. Just thankful that I decided to look for a second opinion. The whole process (simple cleaning, etc) took a long time, unfriendly doctor, and unusually painful.

Students learn at a good facility. Students/School isn't interested in what the patient wants but only to fulfill what they are interested in doing. If you give an opinion on what you want to do, or don't want to do or ask to have something redone that fell apart, you will be met with enormous resistance by students and staff and treated like you are being ridiculous. It's either their way or nothing.

I have no dental insurance and was told I could get cheap care there. Big mistake. I wolud rather pay more to go to a real dentist next time. The student that worked on me even had trouble with the cleaning--actually accidentally cut my mouth! I was told I need a root canal, so I decided to go to a private dentist. Even the receptionists there seem overworked and pissed all the time. If I want to get bad dental work and get attitude, I might as well just ask my teenage daughter to fix my teeth!

Only go here if you are doing very routine cleaning or fillings. Students do all the work, and the supervisor for my student doctor was a jerk who was constantly in a bad mood. They will refuse to redo any shoddy work, so you may end up paying more to another dentist to fix up whatever NYU screws up.
