I would like a second opinion, may I come in for that?
Yes, we welcome anyone that would like a second opinion. Second opinions are encouraged, especially if the patient’s questions have not been fully answered yet. Sometimes patients would like to hear a different perspective from a different dental provider.
During my first visit, will the dentist provide different options for my dental needs?
The answer is yes. Most of the time two, three and sometimes up to four options are presented to the patient. It is not necessary to make a decision during the initial consultation, so please don’t feel pressured when different options are presented and you may need to discuss those options with family members first.

I'm currently missing one tooth and would like to replace it, can I schedule a consultation for that?
Yes, there are several options when it comes to replacing one missing tooth. The options may vary from patient to patient due to several factors. We recommend first taking diagnostic radiographs and discuss those options during your consultation visit.
