Second opinion

Request a second opinion

Before you move ahead with implants, extractions, bone grafting, or gum surgery, it's worth being certain. A second opinion from a specialist is a low-cost, no-pressure way to confirm your plan — or discover an option you hadn't been offered.

When a second opinion helps

  • You've been told you need implants, extractions, bone grafting, or gum surgery and want to confirm it's the right plan.
  • A previous treatment or implant is failing, painful, or didn't heal as expected.
  • You've been quoted a complex or expensive plan and want an independent review before committing.
  • You've been told your case is "too difficult" or that a tooth can't be saved.
  • You simply want a specialist's perspective before making a decision about your care.

Common questions

Is a second opinion worth it?
For surgery, implants, or a plan involving several teeth, a second opinion is one of the most valuable things you can do. It costs little, often changes nothing about your original plan (which is reassuring) — and occasionally reveals a less invasive or less costly option worth considering.
Do I have to switch dentists to get a second opinion?
No. A second opinion is an independent review, not a commitment. Many patients return to their original dentist to complete treatment. If you'd like us to coordinate with them, we're glad to.
Will you just tell me what I want to hear?
No. The value of a second opinion is honesty. Sometimes that means confirming your original plan is exactly right; sometimes it means presenting an alternative. Either way, you'll get a clear, specific assessment — not a sales pitch.
What if I don't have my X-rays?
That's fine — bring whatever you have and we'll take it from there. We can obtain any additional imaging we need during your consultation.

A second-opinion consultation is an evaluation and discussion of your options, not a diagnosis or treatment. Any recommendations are confirmed after a clinical examination and appropriate imaging.
