Dental care, Are dental schools cheaper than a private practice?
I really need about two dental implants. I have little money and I am told that my dental insurance will not cover for implants. I got a free quote at a dental office that it would run me around $2000.00 or more just for two implants to be done. Would it be much cheaper if I go to a dental school for this work to be done?

It would be less expensive to go to a dental school but dental schools may not always be doing implants. You would have to call around and see if you can get on a waiting list for something like that. At least from my experience

Start looking into dental discount plans and see if they have any dentist in their network that does implants. Then shop out those dentist for the best rate.
On a dental discount plan for implants most will offer a 15 to 20 discounted saving which should help you lower your costs.

I think you should save you money until you can better afford having implants done correctly. Nothing wrong with dental schools for basic dental care but school are just that people who are still learning.
For implants which can go wrong you want someone that already know what to do. At least that my thoughts.
