Expert Dental Services at Reduced Fees
Overview
For patients with more complex dental needs, including patients referred to Tufts by a dentist, Tufts has a full range of specialty clinics and services. In the Specialty Post-Doctoral Clinics, dentists who have completed dental school and are receiving 2-4 additional years of training in dental specialties provide services under the supervision of faculty dentists.
In general, appointments in the Specialty Post-Doctoral Clinics take less time and cost a little more than in the General Dentistry Pre-Doctoral Clinics. However, fees in the Specialty Post-Doctoral Clinics are still lower than the fees charged by dentists in private practice.
