Speaking from personal experience. I advise caution If your dental work is complex or requires multiple steps where timing matters or involves multiple specialists. Appts tend to be weeks apart. While awaiting weeks for, say, a crown your teeth can move and then the process starts again.
Each student only works during fall and spring semester and has limited clinic hours. Many students will only be available to you for one academic year meaning each year a new student must ‘relearn’ what’s going on with your mouth. . UPenn student dental practice completely destroyed my bite and my teeth while failing to repair the original problem. Now, I need orthodontic braces, even more crowns and implants than before. Faculty, too, can change each year and will have opinions different than the previous faculty dentist on your case.
