    Go to dental schools, way cheaper, have payment plans and insurance companies usually comp it fully.

      And rarely available, and far away for most people. Getting in to a dental school for complicated work is like winning the lottery.

          I know… There are 10 dental schools in Canada, the odds of getting in to one to have any work done are almost literally like winning the lottery. I’m sure it’s not much better in the U.S. plus you have to be lucky enough to live near one. The nearest major city to me is 8 hours away. And typically you have to fit within an income threshold, which we don’t as we are a two income household with benefit, albeit benefits that are quite limited.
