Why Getting A Second Opinion In Dental Care Matters
When your smile is concerned, it’s reassuring to be certain of your treatment. At Alpine Dental, we know that many dental problems can be overwhelming or confusing. That’s why Dr. Laura Brescia and our compassionate team are pleased to provide second opinions. If you’re experiencing a big procedure or a small one, a second opinion will set you on the path to your smile.
What Is A Dental Second Opinion?
A dental second opinion is where you receive consultation from someone else’s dentist before treatment. If you have been informed that you need a certain procedure, such as a root canal, crown, or even tooth extraction, you can check again before you begin. This would make sure that the treatment is actually necessary and that it’s best for you.
When Should You Get a Second Opinion?
You don’t need a special reason to ask for a second opinion. However, here are some common times when people choose to:
- You’ve been told you need expensive or major dental work
- You feel unsure or uncomfortable about a recommended treatment.
- You want to explore other options or costs.
- The first diagnosis didn’t explain your problem clearly.
- Your symptoms don’t match the treatment offered.
At Alpine Dental, we’re always happy to look at your case with fresh eyes and give you honest advice.
