Detailed Introduction

The Columbia University College of Dental Medicine (CDM), often referred to as Columbia dental school, is a prestigious institution that is part of the Ivy League Columbia University. Established in 1916, it has a rich history and a strong reputation for excellence in dental education, research, and patient care. A key feature of the institution is its unique curriculum, which integrates dental and medical education, reflecting the belief that oral health is intrinsically linked to a person's overall health. This approach places students in a shared learning environment with medical students from the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons during their preclinical years. The college provides comprehensive patient care through two main settings: its teaching clinics and its faculty practices (ColumbiaDoctors Dentistry). The teaching clinics offer high-quality, affordable care provided by dental students and residents under the close supervision of experienced faculty. The faculty practices, on the other hand, provide care from world-renowned faculty members. The range of services is extensive, covering all major dental specialties, including: general dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, and basic restorative procedures. cosmetic dentistry: Procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and full-mouth reconstruction. orthodontics: braces, Invisalign, and retainers for children and adults. Pediatric Dentistry: Specialized dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, as well as for children and adults with special needs. Prosthodontics: The replacement and restoration of missing or damaged teeth using procedures like crowns, bridges, and dentures. Periodontics: Diagnosis and treatment of gum disease and inflammation. Endodontics: Root canals and other surgeries related to the dental nerves. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: A full scope of surgical procedures including extractions, bone grafting, and dental implants. Oral Pathology: The diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the mouth and jaw. TMJ/Facial Pain: Diagnosis and management of conditions causing acute and chronic pain in the jaw and surrounding areas. Columbia University College of Dental Medicine is a hub for groundbreaking research in various areas, from tissue engineering and stem cell research to oropharyngeal cancer and microbial pathogenesis. The institution's commitment to community outreach and global health initiatives also ensures that its students are prepared for leadership roles in public health and are equipped to serve diverse communities.

My experience was a 10/10 my orthodontist makes me feel so comfortable everytime I see her, removing my old color & adding a new one to my braces didn’t hurt at all.

The whole point of Columbia dental school is that it is supposed to be more affordable than a regular dentist - what happened!? It used to be a little less cost than a general dentist, but this year, not only are the costs high, they're more than a regular dentist! That includes getting a cap for my tooth that fell out (their work, they messed up and they wouldn't cover it or give me a discount). On top of that, it was $600 for a cap a few years ago, now it's $800+ not including extra work a periodontist has to do. They didn't tell me about the work the periodontist had to do (crown lengthening) 5 years ago and that was on them. . .

and why my cap kept falling out. . . why do I have to pay for a new one when they messed up?. .

. Ortho, I had a consult for Invisalign or braces, but braces weren't worth it because there was only a small difference in price. I had a free consult at a regular ortho and it was cheaper than Columbia! The only good thing I can say is that the cleaning is great and thorough, but that's about it.

If it’s drill and fill, or yank and scram, probably four or five stars. I won’t know because I never got to “yank and scream", so I give it only one star. After more than nine weeks of pain, angst, and hope, I got to “oral surgery consultation”. After lengthy discussions between student and “others” a treatment plan was approved. Thirteen days later, I turned up to get my tooth extracted. After sitting more than two hours in the dentist chair, I was told that the student could not proceed with the procedure because her faculty refused to approve the treatment.

So, after months of waiting, all I was left with was pain, more angst, and no hope. This is a training facility where the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing, causing pain to the victim. I picked this place because of its association with the NY Presbyterian Hospital. What a painful mistake. It's like comparing heaven and hell.
