Finding the right provider is essential in oral healthcare. After all, many patients see their dentist more often than they visit their primary care doctor. At WVU Dental, with three different types of providers, you have a perfect opportunity to discover the dentist who best meets your needs.
A resident provider has already completed four years of dental school. They are dentists receiving advanced or specialty training.Residents provide care under the direction of faculty and department chairs.We have residents specializing in five areas of dentistry. Residents are part of two-year and three-year programs. A resident dentist's fees are generally lower than those charged by established specialists.
Student providers are studying to become dentists. They have an undergraduate degree and are upperclassmen in dental school. They have already completed approximately half of the professional dentistry program when they begin clinical care. Throughout all phases of treatment, student providers work under the direct guidance and supervision of faculty dentists. In appreciation of you choosing our student clinic and committing extra time for your care, procedures are offered at a significant discount. Patients should expect visits take significantly more time than a visit to a faculty or resident provider.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with the dental clinic. Remember, they are students and offering a discounted service to the community... so set aside some extra time. Otherwise, they are lovely!

Terrible customer service. They never answer their phone, nor do they call you back when you leave a voice mail. How then can you make an appointment. WVU should please take note of this and remedy this sub-par front office of an otherwise great dental group for kids. (I was able to get my kid's first appointment by walking in and making it. I cannot keep doing that for future appointments especially when there is an invention called the phone - or the web!)

They never answer their phone. I was supposed to get a phone call from a student and he never called!

Literally the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life and haven't been able to sleep in 4 days and buzz cut Bradley and the Prof. are all "well we can't see anything in your X-rays. How about maybe amoxicillin and ibuprofen?" Like I'm some kind of drug seeker. West Virginia, your people are nice, your current teaching and future dentists are morons.
