The Value of Second Opinions
March 26, 2018
We ask for second opinions on an almost daily basis before making decisions that will cost us relatively little time or money. For instance, have you ever asked friends or family for their opinion before trying a new restaurant? How about reading online reviews before going to see a movie? Asking your spouse and your best friends for their opinion of an outfit? These are all occasions where we seek out multiple opinions without ever thinking about it. Unfortunately, many people don’t ever think to question the dental or medical professionals in their lives by seeking second opinions before beginning a complex treatment. In some cases, taking the time to schedule a second opinion consultation can save you time, money, and discomfort.

Of course, the success of a dental implant is largely dependent on the skill of the dental professional who places your implant. A prosthodontist specializes in restoring missing teeth, so to ensure the best outcome for your smile, see one of the prosthodontists at Dallas Esthetics.
