Why Second Opinions Matter

Many patients leave a dental office with unanswered questions

Dental patients often leave a dental office with many unanswered questions and concerns after having received an estimate or dental treatment plan. In some cases, they feel they have only been given very limited choices for their dental care, told they need to have teeth removed, and were not given any options for saving teeth.

In other cases, the suggested treatment plan was too expensive to be a practical choice, and other more realistic alternative dental options weren't fully discussed. There are often many alternative treatments available that haven't even been considered by a previous dentist.

  • Ellen was told by another dentist that all her teeth were hopeless and needed to be taken out. Dr. Ressler, a gum specialist and expert in saving teeth, treated her periodontal disease, removed areas of decay, and rebuilt her smile.
  • Even costly treatment options can be broken into easy-to-handle steps completed (and paid for) over time.

★★★★★

"Dr Ressler and his computerized system was able to build a perfectly fitting bridge without removing two additional healthy teeth that other dentists insisted was absolutely necessary. 16 months later and not a single problem. He's also a nice guy."

★★★★★

"Had two consultations regarding implants prior to meeting Dr. Ressler and his awesome team for a 3rd opinion. Glad I had a final opinion from him. He gave me the straight facts, told me it would be a long process to do it right and that I should not rush it (others wanted to rush it). I felt comfortable from the start and chose his practice. It was the right decision."

Questions

Dental second opinion questions, answered

When should I get a dental second opinion?
Before you commit to major work: when you have been told teeth must be removed without options for saving them, when the plan feels too expensive to be practical, when your choices seem limited, or when you simply left the office with unanswered questions. In almost any given week, Dr. Ressler sees at least 3 to 5 patients seeking a second opinion.
What happens on a second opinion visit?
Dr. Ressler will examine you, review your dental x-rays, take any other needed x-ray images or dental scans, and then fully discuss every available dental option with you, including the pros and cons of each and a good idea of the cost range for each option. You take home a written plan with itemized costs.
Will I be pressured to switch dentists or start treatment?
No. The purpose of the visit is straight facts. One patient wrote: "He gave me the straight facts, told me it would be a long process to do it right and that I should not rush it (others wanted to rush it)." Dr. Ressler also refers patients to other providers when what they need is outside his area of expertise.
What makes a specialist's second opinion different?
Dr. Ressler is both a periodontist (gum specialist) and a dental implant surgeon with three years of advanced surgical training at NYU. He specializes in saving teeth when feasible, and replacing them with natural, life-like restorations when that is the most appropriate option, so you hear both sides from one doctor.
How much does the second opinion exam cost?
For a limited time, new patients pay $129 for a $474 value: full dental examination, full set of digital x-rays, gum disease diagnosis, receding gum evaluation, cosmetic evaluation, and a dental implant consult. Mention offer code NEW-PATIENT-129. Not available with dental insurance.
Do you take my dental insurance?
We accept dental insurance only as an out-of-network provider. We do not accept dental HMOs, Medicare, or Medicaid. Financing and payment plans are available through three different lenders, including 12 months interest-free for qualified patients.
