BEWARE FLYER OF FREE SERVICES. (Remember you usually get what you pay for and your teeth won't grow back, you get 32 to last your entire lifetime) I was at the gym in our subdivision today and I saw a flyers on the billboard for "Midwestern University Dental Clinic" . They are offering seniors/veterans free dental Etc. BEWARE!!!! DO NOT GO UNLESS YOU ARE DESPERATE AND HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. I went last year to check it out and while I was in the waiting room a man had a follow up appointment and was complaining because they had CUT HIS TONGUE!!! These are students needing to PRACTICE, they couldn't even figure out how to do my blood pressure. They kept screwing up the X-rays and took double or more X-rays a dental office takes. I decided to only get a dental cleaning and the student injured my mouth and gums twice. They called me continually to go back for a root canal and wanted to redo fillings...no way, no thanks.... They are obviously desperate for clients... BEWARE OFTEN SOMETHING FREE ENDS UP BEING VERY EXPENSIVE. If you get a bad haircut your hair will grow back. If they break your tooth and have to pull it, it won't grow back and it's thousands of dollars for an implant... If one is even a candidate to get an implant...

Do not go to this place for implants! The students were friendly and nice, as were most of the doctors, but the students were students, as to the doctors, the old saying applies "He who can does; he who cannot, teaches". I ended up having all my teeth removed at the School over the period of two years, and did have implants inserted in my upper jaw, and was talked into a snap in denture to determine if I would be satisfied with that and not fixed denture. During this period of time (2 years) while having various procedures, I talked to other patients in the surgery waiting area, and out of maybe 20 patients I talked with, three were waiting for surgery because the implants had failed. (I should have realized something was wrong!) The implants they use are a brand called Bicon, and not the more common brand Nobel Biocare. Nobel Biocare is the implant used by most dentist. After I requested to meet with the dean of the school, concerning delays in appointment scheduling, I was told the school would not longer treat me, and had a guard escort me from the campus! One of my later dentist said the though I was discharged because of the poor quality work that had been performed on me. Back to Bi-Con implants, I called Bi-Con and asked them for a list of dentist in the Phoenix and Denver areas who used their product. Their only customer in Phoenix was Midwestern Dental School and they gave me the names of two dentist in Denver who used their product. Several dentist have refused to work on the Bi-Con implants. I have since had Nobel Biocare implants and a permanent denture place on my lower jaw, and I love it! Please heed my advice and don't go to Midwestern for implants!!

I used to have nightmares about losing teeth. This place made my nightmares come true. My quality of life has diminished because of the tricks they played on me to get me to agree to let them pull a bunch of teeth out. They made a lot of promises about what they would do for me. Each step of the way I confirmed with them that the work I requested would be done, but there was always something they needed to do first. I make very clear that I did NOT want certain teeth pulled until we were ready for implants and a bridge. I was assured are reassured time and again that all was well, we were on track. Once they pulled out all of the teeth they wanted to they suddenly changed their policy and would not finish the work as agreed. They then proceeded to change their story 3 more times about why they were not going to do the work they had promised. Note that each step of the way, instructors were approving and agreeing. Once they could not justify pulling any more teeth, they were done with me. Clearly their main goal is to give the students pulling practice. They know that if you are coming there for service, you do not have resources to sue them. I would love to know how many people they have done this to. I know that several were screwed over as I was during the time I was there.
