*New patients only.
Have you been told you need a crown, root canal, extraction, implant or another major treatment and want to understand your options? NewStar Dental offers complimentary second-opinion consultations for eligible patients in Fort Lauderdale.
A second opinion can help when you are uncertain about a crown, root canal, extraction, implant or larger treatment plan. It gives you a chance to ask questions and review possible alternatives before deciding.
If you have them, bring the proposed treatment plan, recent X-rays and relevant dental records. We may need an examination or updated images if the available records do not tell us enough.
Dr. Severchenko will review the available information, evaluate the dental concern and explain what he sees. When appropriate, he will discuss reasonable treatment alternatives and answer your questions so you can make a more informed decision.
Not necessarily. Two dentists may reach the same conclusion. The value of a second opinion is having the diagnosis and options explained so you can make a more confident decision.
The consultation may be complimentary for eligible patients, but that does not automatically include every X-ray, test or procedure. Please ask about eligibility and any additional fees when you schedule, especially if you do not have recent dental records.
It can be reasonable to seek another evaluation when the long-term prognosis of a tooth is uncertain, when you have been offered several replacement options or when a treatment plan is extensive. A second opinion can clarify the diagnosis, restorability, alternatives, likely sequence of care and questions to discuss with the original treating dentist.
Afterward, the choice is yours: return to your current dentist, schedule care with NewStar Dental or take more time to decide. If another exam or specialist assessment would help, we will explain why.
