you would need a bachelor's degree and a D.D.S., or D.M.D. degree (doctor of dental surgery or doctor of dental medicine). Now, if you want to specialize you have to go through a post-doctoral program (which lasts from 2-6 years). These are programs you'll take after you've earned your dental degree (however, keep in mind that these programs have limited positions available and are extremely competitive). Nonetheless, only 17 of 50 states require that you have a post-doctorate degree to practice a specialty, but you can't exclusively practice a specialized area of dentistry without post-doctoral training.

Usually it is cheaper because you are going to students of the school, not a certified dentist. The students are overseen by a dentist but you are very much a practice person for the students.
