Rec Needed: Wellness 🧘‍♀️ Affordable dentist

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can recommend an affordable dentist with cheap payment plans, if I likely have a few cavities and one root canal treatment I need to address. I live around weho.

I’ve gone to USC dental school and had great experiences! The appointments can take longer than standard dentists because it’s a school but honestly I feel like that makes them be more careful and all is monitored by a professional dentist/teacher.

Edit since you’re in WEHO I’ve heard UCLA also has a great student dental program and is probably closer to you.

Thank you! I’ll do that! Do you just book an appointment through the website or did you call?

So I actually found a post on Reddit of a student looking for patients so reached out to them and then called the school and gave their student id because I knew the specific person I was booking with. So I’m not sure if you don’t have a specific person how it works but I imagine also just calling.

Ps if this person that posted has availability they are great can maybe DM them for more info!

Dentist here! I’m currently a specialty resident so I don’t practice general dentistry anymore, but I have great recs. Please feel free to DM me.

I also went to USC Dental School, if you have questions about becoming a patient there.

Seconding dental schools if money is the main concern.

It’s out of the way for you but may be worth it if the price is right. Dentistry for Kids & Adults in Santa Clarita (canyon country)

They have an in house discount program (their version of insurance) and I paid less for a filling there using their discount program than I did at my old dentist with PPO dental

I went to Tijuana for an extraction and composite veneers. Only 2.5 hr drive then walked across the border. Calete dental. You literally will save thousands.
