Second Opinion Consultations
Getting a second opinion is smart. It’s your smile, your money, and your decision.
We welcome patients seeking a second perspective on treatment recommendations.
Dr. Carnazza specializes in complex cosmetic and restorative cases—the kind where you want to be absolutely sure about the approach before moving forward.
What We Evaluate
Dr. Carnazza reviews your previous treatment plan, examines your current condition, and provides a comprehensive evaluation. He explains what he sees, what options exist, and what he’d recommend.
You’ll get clear, honest communication about whether the original plan makes sense, if alternatives exist, or if modifications would serve you better. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just straightforward expertise.
Our Approach to Second Opinions
We understand you’re weighing a significant decision. That’s why Dr. Carnazza takes time to thoroughly evaluate your situation and explain options in plain language.
With nearly 30 years of experience and a professorship at NYU College of Dentistry, he’s seen thousands of complex cases. His focus is on function and esthetics working together—ensuring recommendations support long-term health, not just immediate appearance.
You’ll leave understanding your options and feeling confident about next steps, whether that’s with us or elsewhere.
Common Reasons for Second Opinions
Patients often seek second opinions when:
- The recommended treatment feels too extensive or aggressive
- They want confirmation before committing to significant investment
- Previous dentist recommended extraction, but they’d prefer to save the tooth
- Full mouth restoration or implant treatment was proposed
- They’re uncertain about cosmetic treatment approach
- Something doesn’t feel right about the original recommendation
These are all valid reasons to get another perspective.
Second Opinion Consultation Fee
We charge a consultation fee for comprehensive second opinion evaluations. This covers Dr. Carnazza’s time for thorough examination, review of records, and detailed discussion of options. The fee and what’s included will be explained when you schedule.
Call 516-882-1709 to schedule. Bring or send any x-rays, treatment plans, or records from your previous dentist if available.
