First ever visit here. Just finished with a root canal, was a molar (tooth#30). This is a detailed experience overview. Mind that the experience can vary. Parking: (3/5) You can park in the gated parking lot just opposite the UT Health building. It's going to cost $10, every time you park for 2 hours or more. Should have been free though for at least 4 hours since each appointment takes 4 hours. Appointment: (4/5) To get an appointment at this time, I had to call the number provided and leave a message for callback. I did this daily for almost two weeks and finally heard from the staff. Got the next available appointment booked. They only have two time slots daily i.e 08:30 AM and 1:00 PM. Paid $22 for urgent care assessment. Make sure you are on time. Check in once you are at the front desk with your ID. Then wait for the dentist/staff to come out and call your name while you are inside the lobby. Check-in line Hack: If the line is too long at the first floor, go to second floor and check-in. Treatment: (5/5) So I was greeted and treated well at all times. Shout out to my student dentist. She was just awesome. Since my root canal was quite complex, it took 4 appointments to get it done. It may have taken 2 appointments at a regular dentist but since the students work at their own pace therefore it took 4. During treatment, the faculty comes to make sure everything was being done as it should be. They are very professional and courteous. Many times faculty would take over from student dentist and complete the procedure, which is even better. Although during each visit I had a different faculty member but even then their treatment was top notch. Pain: (4/5) So Pain is dependent upon many factors such as what tooth is being treated, how thick are the bones are and how long do you get treated for etc. In my case I needed a lot of anesthesia to make sure I was numb. This caused swelling on the inside of my cheeks and gums. I also experienced pain in between the treatments due decay caused by tissue. So be ready to experience pain. Also each appointment being 3 hrs long, may cause your jaw joints to hurt by the end of appointment. But each time I felt pain, the student dentist apologized and immediately called in the faculty to make sure I was numb enough to get the treatment done. Note: The pain during treatment was no way near the toothache I already had. So don't get discouraged by minor pains in between the treatments. Cost: You pay for an assessment first which is $22. Additional X-Ray may require $10. Parking for each visit of 2 hours or more is going to cost $10. For the treatment, It depends upon what kind of treatment you require. There are two categories of student dentists; Undergraduate and Graduate. Undergraduate dentist costs the cheapest. In my case UG Dentist treatment for a root canal costed $220. While for the same treatment Graduate Dentist would have costed $440. Faculty decides whether you need to be treated by a UG Dentist or a Graduate. Summary: - Cheaper than regular dentists. - Check in on time. - Courteous staff, students and faculty dentists - Treatment takes more appointments and longer time compared to regular dentists. - You may experience some pain depending upon who is treating you and what treatment are you getting. - Be respectful and courteous towards the staff and dentists and they will make sure you are taken care of in the best possible manner.
