Dentists get a lot of calls asking how affordable they are. Sometimes patients call around just to see who in town is the cheapest on each procedure. Though I understand that the economy has been tough on almost everyone, I want to caution you for just looking for the lowest price.
Often times dentists that have the lower price cut corners in areas that hurt no one but the patient. Sure, he or she gets to come off looking fair and affordable, until six months later when the procedure fails.
There are ways to get affordable dentistry without compromising quality.
First, you can phase your treatment. For instance, if you need all your teeth replaced, but cannot afford dental implants, you can get implant supported dentures and gradually up the number of implants as you can afford them.
Many dentists also have low and no interest payment plans to help you get your treatment right away and then pay it out gradually.
