Private Dentist Experiences

This page consists of private dentist experiences as submitted by patients who have been treated at a private dental facility. Most dentists are general practitioners and treat a variety of dental problems. Other dentists practice in any of nine specialty areas: orthodontia, oral surgery, pediatrics, periodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics, public health, oral pathology and oral/maxillofacial radiology. As you can imagine, specialty dentists will normally charge a higher fee if they provide treatment. In some cases, there are general dentists who are able to perform similar tasks as a specialist (e.g., root canals, periodontal cleanings, dental bondings and/or overlays). You can consider using this information, as submitted by actual patients, as part of your evaluating whether or not a particular dentist can best suit your own personal dental needs. In addition to patient submissions, speak to your family members and friends about the dentists that they see. Quite often, these are the best types of referrals, as you are receiving the information first hand and you can see the actual results of the dentist's work.

In addition, you can check out the Dental School Events page to see if there are any dental schools in your area offering free screenings for children and/or adults, coupon giveaways for cleanings, examinations and x-rays, etc. as well as new research projects that are open to the general public. You may also find dental students who have advertised for needing patients for upcoming dental examinations. In some instances, you may not only qualify for not only a dental procedure at no charge, but be compensated monetarily as well.

Check the dental school events page often, as events will constantly be added for your benefit. Also consider joining the Dental Clinic Manager RSS Feed or Newsletter.

Wishing you well with your dental needs,
