My Dentist has offered me implants at a reduced rate whilst he is training, is this safe?

Q. Hi- I notice that you are involved in the training of Implant Dentistry. My dentist is training at the moment and has offered me a 50% reduction on normal prices if I agree to allow him to implant a tooth as part of his training- would I be taking a risk if i agreed? the price would be £1700 and would include Swiss implant and also the use of bone regeneration material,
A. Thanks for your question. Some practicitioners may offer a discount for treatment being carried out while they are undergoing training. It’s important to ask what experience your dentist has had and if your treatment will be done under supervision? It’s also important to know what level of training the trainer has had and who is ultimately responsible for your dental treatment. Most reputable implant training courses and manufacturers have great support networks in place for these type of situations. But have a chat with your dentist and I’m sure they will be able to answer any of your questions. Thanks George Glover BDS MSc
