How to Make an Appointment With the UMichigan Dental School

The School of Dentistry at the University of Michigan offers dental services ranging from basic cleaning and fillings to cosmetic veneers and teeth whitening. You can choose to be treated by a student dentist, a resident or a member of the faculty, and your treatment costs will vary based on this choice. Although you will save money on dental services performed by a student dentist, you can expect your appointment to last about three times as long as a session with an experienced practitioner.
