Second opinion

Before you agree to lose teeth, get a second reading.

The preliminary consultation is free and includes a panoramic scan. If the first plan was right, you will be told so. That is the point of it.

Worth a second reading

Most patients who arrive here have already been told no. Told they need jaw surgery. Told their teeth are hopeless. Fifty-two years has taught this practice how often that is the limit of who they asked.

01

Told your teeth are hopeless

Porcelain engineering, bite realignment and periodontal treatment can save teeth others would extract.

02

Told you need jaw surgery

Where an underbite is dental rather than skeletal, the bite can be rebuilt instead of the jaw moved.

03

Told you need implants

An implant is the right answer for a tooth that cannot be kept, and the wrong one for a tooth that could have been.

Nothing, and no obligation

What it costs you

The preliminary second-opinion consultation is free and includes a 2-D panoramic scan. There is no obligation to be treated here, and you will be told plainly if the original plan was sound.

Questions

Asked often.

Is the second opinion really free?

Yes, the preliminary consultation is free and includes a 2-D panoramic scan.

What if the first dentist was right?

Then you will be told so. A second opinion that always disagrees with the first is not an opinion, it is a sales technique.

Should I bring anything?

Any X-rays, scans or treatment plans you already have. They shorten the appointment and sharpen the reading.

No obligation
