IU School Of Dentistry Students Seeking Patients
PLUS: How to schedule for the school's dental services costing a fraction of the price of private practice.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Indiana University School of Dentistry students are welcoming patients who are looking for affordable services. Third and fourth year students are seeking those in need of dental procedures, including children and people with disabilities. It's an opportunity to get the dental services your insurance may or may not cover, but at a lower cost. Don't have dental insurance? No problem.
"We provide quality care alongside licensed dentists and specialists at a fraction of the cost of private practice," Lena Mercho, a third year dental student, said. "There isn't a sacrifice in quality, but appointments do take significantly longer than private practice due to the stringent oversight by the dentists/specialists."
To graduate, Mercho and her fellow students need to work on several patients. To schedule an appointment with her, call 317-274-5062. Mercho is excited and eager to meet you, and take care of your dental needs.
