If you’re looking for high quality, convenient, affordable dental care, Penn Dental Medicine may be a good fit
Penn Dental Medicine is a name known throughout our region for excellence in both patient care and student education. We strive to be the best at what we do, both in the classroom and in clinical care. If you’ve ever thought about coming to a Penn Dental Medicine clinic for your dental care, following are five reasons to consider it for your dental care needs.
Excellent Patient Care
We instill in our students that their first duty is to their patients. We will never pressure you into a procedure you don’t need or make medical decisions based on what we think students should learn rather than your best interests. Since we’re training the next generation of dentists, we believe it’s crucial to hold ourselves to the highest standards of compassion, professional excellence, and medical ethics.
In each Penn Dental Medicine clinic, we don’t just talk about these ideals, we back them up with our actions. Students administer care to patients, but never without the direct supervision and instruction of a professor who is an experienced specialist in the procedures being performed.
Dental School Clinics are often More Affordable
If you’re looking for affordable dental care, the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research recommends exploring dental school clinics as an option. Because care is provided in an educational setting by students in training, we try to make it as affordable as possible. While dental clinics aren’t always the most economical option, consulting with doctors at a Penn Dental clinic may offer more affordable care.
