How can I find a Dental School to get a Procedure done?

Im looking how to get a procedure done at a Dental School in PA. How do I go about this? This is because my finance was in a car accident and lost some teeth she wants something permenant but her insurance wont cover it. Can any one help?

How can I find a Dental School to get a Procedure done?
There are 3 dental schools in Pennsylvania: two are in Philadelphia (UPenn %26amp; Temple) and one is in Pittsburgh (UPittsburgh) -- see links below.





The type of bridge she needs is determined by how many teeth need to be replaced, and the condition of the teeth on either side of the empty spaces. Implants are also a really good option for missing teeth, particularly in the front, as they keep the jaw from losing bone as you age, and don't require any work on the surrounding teeth to support them as a bridge does.





Typically, you can expect to pay about 1/2 the going price for dental procedures done at a school. Another great option is to check out the research studies and clinical trials conducted at the schools. Patients can get cutting-edge procedures done by post-graduate students in specialty programs like oral surgery or periodontics, often at very little or no cost, in return for agreeing to return for observation over a period of months or years. You and your fiancee might investigate whether there are any implant studies being done at one of the dental schools, or bridge studies where they are trying out a new adhesive or ceramic material.





The dental schools will do a good job, although it will probably take longer than if she had the work done in a private practice.





Good luck!
