I was curious to find out more information on paid Dental surveys or Dental research studies. Or any type of programs that could help me with the dental costs. I have 3 impacted teeth with a calcifying odontogenic cyst (gorlin's cyst). I need to fill the gap of three missing teeth; either with orthodontics or prosthetics. Both are very expensive and I cannot afford. Any help would be much appreciated.

You may want to try a local university or college in your area.  Many times they have dental students who do a lot of work and it is generaly a good thing because the instructors are on hand as well.  Sometimes you can get quality care.\nGood Luck Health Care Does Break Your Bank

Yes, it is possible-if the teeth that are beside the teeth to be replaced haven't shifted into the empty space. It would also depend on the condition of the bone--there are alot of things involved in getting an implant--go talk to an oral surgeon and get their opinion.\n\nI worked for an oral surgeon who did implants and they were around $1500.00 just for the implant--that does not include general anesthesia (if the patient would like to go to sleep to have the work done) or the permanent crown. You would have to go back to your regular dentist for the crown, and they are around $700-1000 each ( depends on your location). Most of the time implants are not covered under your dental insurance, as they are not the only option, more of a cosmetic choice.  I hope this helps.

i had some real nice work done in south east asia. fillings extractions, root canal, post and cap. all very .. i mean VERY cheap...of coures there was no anesthetic and their offices were as clean as a barn...but the work was great...and fast. i'll never go to an american dentist again! ok i didnt have all this done at once but all together [ 2 different dentist]about 40 dollars us  and one time i got ripped off , it should have been less... this is all true but seriously you can get good safe western style work done in a big city clinic set up for foreigners for about 1/4 of western prices. but ive been happy w/ the back alley work.

Call a dentist's office and ask that hygenist where they went.  In the states, many community colleges offer 2 year programs, but I don't know how it is in Canada.  Good luck!

Prices vary depending on where about you are in the UK, and whether you are getting private treatment or NHS treatment. They should give you a quote before doing the work! But I wouldn't imagine it cost more than £600 for the treatment. The fillings wil be cheap if you fo for the silver ones. Otherwise the white ones will cost approx £65-£100 (they are not available on the NHS hence why they are so expensive). as for the chipped tooth, that will depend on how severly it is chipped. And where abouts in your mouth the chipped tooth is.

I'm a dentist. Your daughter either has a cavity or one of the fillings previously done is having problems. She's not getting any new teeth in because those won't start coming in until age 6. Like grown up teeth, baby teeth can need root canals after having a large filling placed. The dentist did nothing wrong. When you do a large filling (which for a baby tooth doesn't have to be that big), the bur generates heat while drilling. That heat can damage the nerve despite the best efforts of the dentist, and the tooth can start hurting. This can happen immediately after the restoration is placed, months or even a year or 2 later. The good news is that a baby tooth root canal is nothing like the grown up ones. They basically numb her up again. Open up the tooth (remove the old filling), put some medicine on the nerve, and close it up again. The procedure is much easier than the ones adults go through, and nowhere near the same price range. If the problem persists, please take her soon. The problem will not get better on it's own and will probably end up with a friday night, 2AM, not very happy 4 year old. With no insurance, the limited exam, radiograph, and procedure will likely be in the $200 range. Less if you have clinics in your area that see low income or have reduced fee schedules based on income. I wouldn't recommend getting the tooth out unless there is no other option to work with. Baby teeth that are extracted prematurely need to have space maintainers placed to hold the space open. (another cost and not as good as the real tooth). without the space maintainer the teeth can become crowded and make braces a necessity when she's older. This is a lot of information but hopefully it helps.

i went to the local dental college, and i found that to be much much much cheaper.  you might want to check to see if there is such a critter where you live.  the dental college cost me less than half of what a regular dentist wanted even using the dental insurance i had.

They'll probably charge you for the ff: limited oral exam, a peri-apical radiograph of the tooth, possibly a build-up,  a porcelian crown (depending on the kind/material of crown).....you're looking anywhere between $700-$1300. Oh and by the way, if you broke your tooth to the gumline, you may need crown lengthening so that alone can set you back at least a few hundred dollars additional.  I am assuming you already had root canal and it's fine or that your tooth is healthy enough not to get one.

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nCheck http://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html to see if your state has a "Donated Dental Services" program.  D.D.S. is designed to locate dentists who will give free care to patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems.  This is a process that will take a couple of months to get your information and then arrange for someone to see you.  Not all states have D.D.S. programs.\n\nIf worse comes to worse, check out http://www.prosper.com and see if you can find a funding source.

it all depends on what tooth it is you could check to see if you have a crusader clinic or another facility that pull teeth for a fraction of the cost. if its a front tooth it is cheaper $45-$65. back teeth can be $75 to$150. so check out a few places first. if your in major pain you may have to go and pay the fee. especially if the tooth is infected. sometimes the dentist will send you home with antibiotics and pain pills before they pull the tooth.if its infected they don't always pull it the same day.i hope this is help-full to you.thanks kat/ryoutrue2@yahoo.com p.s. you can talk to your dentist to work out a payment plan if you don't have the money.also if you have insurance you could go to the hospital and they will give you antibiotics and pain meds til you can get to your Dr. sometimes we have to do what we have to do if we don't have the funds. teeth are nothing to mess with they can make you sick.

In northeast Ohio they cost @ $800-1000.  Definitely get a good referral from someone you trust or has had this kind of work done.  Ask the dentist you choose to see before and after pictures of other patients.  Many dentists have these kind of books.  It is true that your natural teeth are shaped and once you have a veneer placed you will always need to have a veneer or crown on the tooth.  You should consider the cost of eventual replacement.  They definitely can improve your smile and look beautiful if done correctly.  I would get an opinion of an orthodontist before deciding though.  Try and be very clear as to what you dislike about your smile now.  It may be that with braces and possibly bleaching, simple bonding, or even some "reshaping" of your teeth you may be very happy.  Good luck in whatever you decide.

My mother had the same problem because she was on SS. Look in the phone book and surrounding areas and call each and every dentist. Ask them if they accept payment plans. Also, call your nearest Department of human services and ask them if they refer you to someone. Have you thought of traveling. In Austin, Texas you can get them through a program. I will give you the link below. Also if you go farther south, you can find them way cheap, like $500.00. Towards Mexico. Good Luck!

I don't know. I've never heard of any of the sites listed there that they submit your link to. Personally I wouldn't waste my time, I'd just spend more time trying to get listed in important places like Yahoo and Google. (I mean really, unless you have a page about teeth you don't need to submit your site to the Dental Search Engine)
