University of Toronto/Faculty of Dentistry

I would keep away from this place unless you are just going for cleaning. Even with cleaning it can take weeks of repeat visits while the students probe your gums for two hours at a time. Even with cleaning, they don’t fit you in for twice a year like they are supposed to do, even after the professor recommended it. From my recent experience this week, keep away if you are going for crowns or other complicated work.
The crown I just got is a like something from a third world dentist, it has no shape or ridges, it’s just a smooth disc that doesn’t match the tooth above it. I now face the expensive task of having this gold crown cut off and replaced at another dentist. A nightmare. The so called professors who oversee the work the students do are just as bad, as they are the ones who are signing off on the atrocious sub standard work, they just want the students to graduate and get out of there, and let their unfortunate clients deal with it when they open their own practices.
Their emergency department will not return calls sometimes for a few days, so what use are they?
This place use to be good but now it’s like some aid clinic in a third world country where you are supposed to be thankful that you had any work done at all, which isn’t good enough, is it?
Bottom line; if you have teeth… keep away!

It all depends on what student you get and it’s a looong process. You have to go back several times for an exam. And each takes a couple of hours to complete, before they do any work. Prices are lower compared to regular dental treatment, by about 20 percent. It is good if you are low income or on some sort of assistance, but even then, you still can get attitude from some of the employees. They have on staff, the most ignorant, rude pig working in the payment department that I have ever dealt with, with a strong Indian accent. Making complaints gets you nowhere in this place, because of the huge bureaucracy.
