Dental work can be expensive and beyond the budget of many Americans. If you can't afford dental treatment or have no dental insurance one of your best solutions would be to investigate being treated at a dental school in your area.
Dental School fees are generally significantly less than those of private offices and you will receive dental care that meets or exceeds generally accepted standards.
Dental school students work under the direct supervision of licensed dental faculty members and includes highly skilled Dentists and Orthodontists.
Types of Services Performed
Most of the schools offer affordable treatment options and provide standard dental care as well as care in the specialist areas of orthodontics (dentist braces), pediatric dentistry (children's dentistry), endodontics (root canal therapy), periodontics (gum disease, implants), oral surgery (extractions) and prosthetics (complete and removable partial dentures, crowns, bridges).
