Can i trust a dental school?

I read in several yahoo answer posts that dental schools perform procedures for a much lower price. I'm wondering if anyone has had good/bad experiences. I need to get surgery to replace my receded gums, i think it's called grafting.





thanks

Can i trust a dental school?
Yes, but make sure its an accredited dental school with teachers supervising the students who will be "learning by doing" when they treat you
Reply:Yes, They are a Great Place to have your Dental Work Done, as these are learning schools they charge much less!
Reply:A dental school is good because they have the teacher as well as the students there to make sure that nothing goes wrong. They would be helping you with a low payment and you would be helping them as well. It is one hand washes the other type of deal. It is not bad at all.
Reply:forget the surgery......just get some good skoal chawin tobacco and relax, hombre
Reply:Be prepared to spend a few hours in the chair. With the possibility of multiple appointments, in order to complete the procedure. So that being said, you have to be a very patient, patient. All in all this is defienitly the way to go for quality, supervised, low cost dental work.


Everyone goes home a winner!
Reply:they are learning. must hope u get a good student. well u get what u pay for.
Reply:You can get low cost work done at high quality dentists, forget dental schools, thats a LAST resort: There is a very in-expensive but high-quality dental plan that can help you with that. It doesnt pay 100%, but can save you signifcant money, and most dentists are good about taking payments if you at least have a plan of some sort. Another good thing is, unlike tradional insurance, everyone in the US qualifies for it (except alaska and montana) Read on:

Reply:Get Dental Surgery done in India. Dental surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges Dental surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.





I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as dental surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your Dental surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.





My cousin got Dental surgery, Dental Implants in India like dental surgery through the forerunners healthcare.she is more than very happy with the results.she just paid 30% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.i personally have seen the wondeful results and am particularly impressed with the kind of quality care she got from this company.

Yes you can. Especially in your case.





The kind of work you need will almost certainly be performed by a resident (i.e. a recent dental school graduate doing a residency in periodontics). He/she will be under the supervision of an attending periodontis.





For routine work, you'd get a dental student, and indeed the quality of work can vary. However, dental students are also closely supervised by attending doctors who can jump-in when something needs to be corrected.





The downside? Expect to spend more time in the chair. Everyone works more slowly in dental school.
