My friend is a graduate student in L.A. with very little money.  She
needs dental work, specifically post-and-core, and crowns.  Are there
inexpensive options in the L.A. area, such as dental schools or
clinics?  Or any other ideas?

Hello pdq2,

My search returned the following results for options for low cost dental work.


============================
The UCLA School of Dentistry
============================

?The UCLA School of Dentistry has a world-renown reputation for its
high quality faculty members and clinical programs which attract the
best students from across the country. The School of Dentistry General
Clinic is conveniently located in the Center for Health Sciences on
the UCLA campus. This General Clinic offers comprehensive
state-of-the-art dental care for adults.

When you become a patient, you will be assigned to a team of student
dentists known as a vertical tier, comprised of a fourth year, third
year and second year student. The students work together, each
performing procedures for which they have been trained, thus providing
continuity of care. All student procedures are closely supervised by
faculty mentors at every stage of treatment.?
