NYU College of Dentistry: Since NYUCD focuses primarily on education and research, they offer services at lower fees than most private practices in the area. Diagnosis and treatment is provided by dental students under the supervision of NYU College of Dentistry faculty.

New York City College of Technology: Good for basic dental cleanings and optometry. They do dental cleanings and x-rays for ~$15, and provide a report listing any work (fillings, etc) that need to be done, decreasing the chance of being overcharged for unnecessary work at dentists. They also have an optometry program with low-cost glasses.
