At SAIDS Dental Hospital in Kozhikode, you choose who treats you. You can have your treatment done directly by a senior doctor, or by a dental student under the proper supervision of senior doctors at a lower charge. Surgery, implants and facial trauma are handled by senior oral and maxillofacial surgeons, including retired Government Medical College surgeons. Consultation is free.
Two options, your choice
- Treatment by a senior doctor: if you prefer, a senior doctor does your treatment directly.
- Treatment by a supervised student: a dental student treats you under the close supervision of senior doctors, who check each step. The charge is a little lower.
- Surgery: wisdom tooth surgery, implants, jaw fractures, facial trauma and cysts are done by senior oral surgeons, including retired Government Medical College surgeons.
Tell the registration desk or your dentist which option you prefer.
"Is the rate low because of students or cheap materials?"
This is a common doubt. The answer is no. The same quality materials are used whether a senior doctor or a supervised student treats you. Our rates are lower because SAIDS is a teaching institution: student fees are part of its income, so it does not depend only on patients. That lets us keep good treatment affordable for patients from Kozhikode, Koyilandy, Vadakara, Perambra and Balussery.
