Case Description
Does anyone know of dental school in either the Phoenix or Tucson area(s) that do implants at a more reasonable rate than a private practice? I'm a single teacher who doesn't have much money to spare. I am really depressed after the quote I had today. I was involved in a car accident several years ago and had a bridge put in to replace the missing teeth. The bridge came out and couldn't be fixed - 6 front upper teeth. I have a flipper in place right now that is really causing me a lot of pain.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

This is the only Dental School in the State. I doubt that they will do implants, but maybe one of the "faculty" will do them at a discount as a learniing situation for the students.Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health 5850 E. Still Circle Mesa AZ 85206 480.219.6000PS - the flipper should not be causing you any pain. If you can not get implanrts, you need to get rid of the ill fitting "flipper" and replace it with a Valplast partial. I have had excellent results with them. My patients find the Valplast comfortable and cosmetically appealing.
