Where do I go to get a dental second opinion?

In almost any given week, Dr. Ressler sees at least 3 to 5 patients who are seeking a dental second opinion on dental work, crowns, cosmetic dentistry, gum treatment, or dental implants recommended by another dentist, periodontist, or other dental specialist. Dental patients often leave a dental office with many unanswered questions and concerns after having received an estimate or dental treatment plan. In some cases, they feel they have only been given very limited choices for their dental care, told they need to have teeth removed, and were not given any options for saving teeth.

In other cases, the suggested dental treatment plan suggested was too expensive to be a practical choice, and other more realistic alternative dental options weren’t fully discussed.

What kind of information can Dr. Ressler give me on a dental second opinion visit?

Dr. Ressler will examine you, review your dental x-rays, take any other needed x-ray images or dental scans, and then fully discuss every available dental option with you. There are often many alternative treatments available to our patients that haven’t even been considered by their previous dentist! Dr. Ressler will give you a dental second opinion, answer all of your questions, discuss the pros and cons of each dental option you have available to you, and give you a good idea of the cost range for each option that you may want to consider.

Remember that even more costly dental treatment options can be broken down into easy-to-handle steps that can be completed (and paid for) over time. Traditional financing with convenient monthly payments, or even interest-free financing, is available to qualified patients.

Why Dr. Ressler is uniquely qualified to give me a second opinion.

Dr. Ressler has been practicing advanced dentistry for over 20 years and has a specialty certification in periodontics (treatment of gum disease). He completed his dental training (D.M.D.) at the University of Pennsylvania, and is a member of the American Academy of Periodontology and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. He then completed three years of advanced surgical training in both gum treatment (periodontics) and dental implant surgery at New York University, recently ranked as one of best dental education institutions in the world. In short, Dr. Ressler specializes in saving teeth when feasible, and replacing teeth with life-like, highly natural and cosmetic dental replacements when that choice becomes the most appropriate treatment option for the patient. You can take advantage of Dr. Ressler’s expertise and obtain an expert dental second opinion to make sure the proposed dental treatment plan you were given is right for you.

Dr. Ressler’s practice incorporates the latest state-of-the-art technology for dental care, including 3-dimensional CT scanning, advanced laser gum treatment, computer-guided dental implant placement, digital dental impressions, piezo technology cleaning and surgery instruments, gum grafting to fix receding gums with a minimally-invasive approach, and Invisalign clear aligners for straightening teeth without braces, just to name a few!

Dr. Ressler is continually updating and honing his skills by training with the leading dentists around the United States, and attends advanced dental education courses to bring the latest dental advances to his patients in South Florida in his modern office facility.
