I made sure to make an appointment so that I'd be seen at a specific time or so I thought. The reality is that an appointment is no guarantee that you'll even be seen. The receptionist told me that the wait is 1.5 - 2 hours. That to me is crap. I'd have been better off waiting a couple weeks to see my regular dentist.
Despite the long wait however I was pleasantly surprised by the low cost of services and the fact that those services could be performed that afternoon. The problem that I had was a molar that was giving me shooting pains that were excruciating. I thought it was a molar on the bottom left. In fact it was a molar on the top left. It was proven to me by the dentist when he touched it with a probe that felt like a red hot poker. I was crying. The pain was that intense. I knew it had to come out but I didn't know how long I would have to wait. Surprisingly the answer was 15 minutes. There was some small pain when the novocaine was administered but none when the tooth was extracted. I now have a new dentist!
