I’ve only had experience with Penn Dental.
- They were much more affordable than private dentists
- Appointments are long (~4 hours)
- It can take awhile to get the initial consultation
- If you need long term dental care, the student dentists graduate every year and you have to go through all the initial evaluations all over again once you are assigned a new student
- There can also be some lapse in care during transition

Interesting, I was debating doing this since their open enrollment is next week. How were the prices?

I had Aetna Dental through my employer so I did have some coverage. I paid around $400 out of pocket for 2 root canals, many fillings, and an extraction. As long as you make regular payments, your bill stays current. I was paying $25-$50 every time I went in to get my bill down.
