Dental Second Opinion in Seattle, WA

Expert perspective that brings clarity to your treatment decisions — empowering you with knowledge for confident dental care choices.

When facing significant dental treatment recommendations, seeking a second opinion provides invaluable peace of mind. At Dental Specialties Northwest, we understand that complex dental procedures represent major health and financial decisions. Our experienced team of specialists offers thorough second opinion consultations, providing detailed treatment evaluations that help patients make informed choices about their oral health care.

What Is a Dental Second Opinion?

A dental second opinion involves a complete examination and professional review of your existing diagnosis and proposed treatment plan. Unlike a routine dental visit, this consultation focuses specifically on evaluating recommendations from your prior office, offering alternative perspectives, and ensuring you understand all available options. Our doctors provide honest, unbiased assessments whether you’re self-referred or sent by other dentists seeking specialist input.

During your second opinion appointment, we review existing x-rays, chart notes, and any treatment estimates you’ve received. This comprehensive approach ensures our diagnosis opinion considers all relevant factors affecting your dental health and treatment success.

Schedule your second opinion at least three business days prior to any planned treatment elsewhere. Our experts are ready to provide the guidance you need
