Need a Second Opinion From a Dentist?

by Dr. My Le

Female patient waiting for second opinion dentist.

If you feel unsure or confused about a dental diagnosis or treatment that you recently received, it’s best to get a second opinion dentist for your own peace of mind.

We believe that every Calgary dentist wears a different set of lenses, and thus, each one will see something different or have a different perspective on your dental condition.

The variety in opinions can be due to:

  • Differences in a dentist’s knowledge
  • Education
  • Philosophy
  • Clinical experience
  • Diagnostic technology

Each dentist may have a different solution for any dental issue or concern, so that’s why it’s best to seek a second opinion.

This can provide additional comfort and make you feel more confident in proceeding with dental treatment that’s best for you or your family member.

Our NW Calgary dentist will spend time discussing and offering you all the different treatment options, including “no treatment” as an option.
