No joke here. This is the best place to have your dental work done. It does no matter what it is, root canal, cavity, cleaning and other dental needs. Its a Dental School. The students are all great, supervised and in the process of becoming dentist. I've had two pairs (they work in twos) and all the work has been great In the instance that a more experienced dentist was needed I was worked on by them.
Now for the cost. Root canals are around $150! Not bad considering my other dentists charged $800 and then the crown for another $800. At MidWestern ifs $550 for the crown.
When walk in for your appointment its quite fascinating. All appointments are at 1pm so the waiting room is packed. The students come down to pick up their patients. Its fascinating to watch this process. Everyone is very happy to see each other. I would recommend them to anyone!! Especially if you are on a budget.
