I'm a graduate student in the US, I need some major dental procedures done but am put off by the potential bills (even with a good dental insurance, it would still cost thousands of dollars; a lot of dark patterns, they can't give you a rough quote before doing an expensive checkup).
I did some research myself on where to find more affordable quality dental care in my area, and found that a top dental school nearby would offer care from students at a lower rate, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My parents have been doing that for years at the dental college down the street from their house and have nothing but good things to say. Same college also does eye doctoring and they also go there for that.
IIRC, the format is a newer and more experienced student work on them while an instructor supervises two or three of these groups.
Just tagging along on this but colleges and universities sometimes have the following that are awesome and usually extremely affordable if you're low wage:
- auto repair
- dental
- medical
