Here's What Nobody Tells You About Second Opinions

❌

The Problem

Most second opinions come from dentists who see you as a golden opportunity to steal a patient from a competitor.

They might lowball your treatment or find completely different problems—whatever it takes to win your business.

Instead of clarity, you walk away with two biased opinions.

✅

The Solution

Dr. Nikol reviews your plan with zero financial incentive to recommend treatment.

She earns the same review fee whether she tells you to proceed, wait, or skip entirely.

That’s what makes her review truly unbiased—she’s not trying to win your business, just give you clarity.

Independent reviewer with no financial stake in your treatment decisions

“I kept getting DMs from women panicking about $6,000+ treatment plans they couldn’t afford. When I’d walk them through what was actually urgent versus what could wait, the relief in their voices made me realize I needed to make this help more accessible.”

Real Patient Experiences

“My dentist wanted to do $4,800 in crowns. Dr. Nikol’s review helped me understand that only one was urgent, and the others could be simpler fillings. I ended up spending $800 instead and my teeth are fine six months later.”

“I was quoted $7,200 for a full mouth restoration. Dr. Nikol’s review showed me what was cosmetic versus necessary. I got the urgent work done for $1,900 and saved the rest for later. Best $179 I ever spent.”

Jennifer K.

“Two dentists gave me completely different treatment plans – one for $2,400, another for $6,800. Dr. Nikol’s review helped me understand why and which approach made sense for my situation.”

The Reality About Treatment Plans

Here’s the reality: Most dentists aren’t trying to oversell you. They’re trained to fix everything they see — which is actually good doctoring. The issue isn’t bad dentists, it’s timing and financial reality.

When you have a $6,000 treatment plan, the question isn’t ‘Do I need this?’ It’s usually ‘What needs to happen now vs. what can I plan for later?’

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate can this be without examining me in person?

I review the same X-rays and treatment plans your dentist used to make their recommendations. While I can’t replace an in-person exam, I can spot red flags, identify potentially unnecessary procedures, and help you understand what questions to ask. Most dental treatment decisions are visible on X-rays.

Won't my dentist be upset if I get a second opinion?

Any good dentist should welcome a second opinion – it validates their diagnosis. If your dentist gets defensive about you seeking another professional’s input on a major financial decision, that tells you something important about their confidence in their own recommendations.

What if you agree with my dentist's plan?

That happens about 60% of the time, and it’s valuable too. You’ll have confidence that you’re making the right decision, understanding of why the treatment is necessary, and often tips for getting better pricing or phasing the work over time.

How do I know my information is secure?

All information is kept strictly confidential. I maintain the same privacy standards required in traditional dental practice.

What if I don't have X-rays or my dentist won't give them to me?

Your X-rays belong to you – legally, your dentist must provide copies when requested. Most offices can email them digitally or put them on a USB drive within 24-48 hours. If you’re having trouble getting them, I can provide you with the exact language to request them. Without them I will not be able to help.

How do I know you're not just going to tell me what I want to hear?

Great question – this shows you’re thinking critically. About 60% of the time, I actually agree with the original treatment plan and tell patients to proceed. When I disagree, I explain exactly why with specific clinical reasoning. My reputation depends on giving honest assessments, not popular ones. I’d rather have you trust my judgment than like my answer.

What if my treatment is genuinely urgent and can't wait for a review?

True dental emergencies – severe pain, swelling, trauma, or active infections – shouldn’t wait for any review. Get immediate care. However, most ‘urgent’ treatment plans I see aren’t actually urgent. If you’re in pain or have swelling, see your dentist immediately. If you feel fine but were told you need extensive work ‘right away,’ that’s usually a perfect case for review.

Do you ever recommend MORE treatment than the original dentist?

Yes, occasionally. Sometimes I see issues on X-rays that weren’t addressed, or I recommend additional preventive measures. About 5% of my reviews suggest adding something to the treatment plan. This proves I’m truly independent – I call it like I see it, whether that means more treatment, less treatment, or different timing.

What happens if I disagree with your review?

That’s completely fine and sometimes happens. I’ll explain my reasoning clearly, but ultimately it’s your mouth and your decision. Some patients choose to get a third opinion, others stick with their original dentist’s plan, and some find a middle ground. My job is to give you information to make an informed choice, not to make the choice for you.

Can you recommend other dentists if I need to find a new one?

I don’t make specific referrals since I don’t know all dentists personally, but I can give you red flags to watch for and green flags that indicate a good dentist. I can also suggest questions to ask potential dentists to help you evaluate their approach and philosophy. Finding the right dentist is almost as important as understanding your treatment.

What if my insurance situation affects the treatment options?

Insurance absolutely affects treatment timing and options. I’ll factor in your coverage when discussing alternatives. Sometimes the ‘best’ clinical option isn’t the most practical financially. I can help you understand which treatments are typically covered, what might be considered cosmetic, and how to phase treatment to maximize your benefits over multiple years.
