Hi...I am currently working with dental students for a complete denture. So far they have done extractions, felt nothing, very good experience and affordable. But I do agree, you need to available because they only have certain days they work in the actual clinic in the university and other days they are studying. They always have a professor watching everything they do. I would totally reccomend it. They are not Butchers. Before they actually start working with you, they have gone through extensive studies. Many students that have worked on me are sent to 3rd world countries and do alot of there dental work there for practice. I live in Florida and the dentist working on my case, is just about to graduate and start her very own practice. ( I am going to NOVA University)
So
on the wagon and go for it. The way I found this place, you have the best resource at your fingertips, your COMPUTER. Check for all the univeristies in your area, and find there dental department and call and set an appoitment, that is what I did. They do have a waiting list, but my case was considered an emergency, and they took me right away. I didn't even have to wait. Did my consultation, and was called back in 2 days. This is not the case for everyone, guess I just got very lucky!!!
Hope this information helps.
Student Dental Clinics? 
My bother in law used a dental school to have a couple of his teeth filled.He was very happy with the work that was done(at half the cost).He informed me that there was a teacher standing watching to make sure the students do not mess up. And they do not just let them start working out on people right away...As far as where to find a school in your town I would look in the phone book..Good luck finding one.
