Can a Dental School Give Me Implants?
I am having a hard time with my dentures. They don’t fit like I want them to. Dental implants are pretty expensive though. Is there any way that I can go to a dental school and get dental implants at a discount? If not, can I get a better denture. The ones I have now make it hard for me to eat.

Dear Tessa,
Yes, dental schools will take patients. This is important for them because they need a way for their students to practice. The price will be lower because your treatment will take longer. This is because it has to be done under supervision with instruction. Everything a dentist does needs to be taught.
The complication here is that it cannot be any dental school. While all of them will train their patients on dentures, only the specialty schools will train in dental implants. Even though you won’t get work that the top of the line implant dentists can do, it will be significantly above average. I would call around to make sure of which services are available.
I want to give you a warning, though. The one thing you absolutely do not want to go to a dental school for is any cosmetic dental work. There are so many cosmetic dentistry horror stories done by inexperienced cosmetic dentists under training.
