Need a Dentist for a Second Opinion Near Nashua? Meet Nashua Dental Group

When it comes to complex or costly cosmetic dental procedures, it is crucial to seek a second opinion from another dentist. A second opinion can potentially help you find the same service for less, an alternate treatment plan that is cheaper, or a dentist whose skill or personality make you feel more confident undergoing dental treatment. With cosmetic dental procedures that can have potentially life changing effects it’s important to feel comfortable with your choice of dentist for the job. If you feel any hesitation about a dentist’s treatment plan or their ability to execute it properly, listen to your gut and get a second opinion.

When looking for a dentist for a second opinion near Nashua (or elsewhere), here are several things to look out for:

Is the Dentist Highly Rated Online or Recommended by Friends?

When looking for a dentist near Nashua for a second opinion, make sure to ask your friends and family about their experiences with their dentists. This is especially relevant if they had undergone a similar procedure to what you imagine you will need.
If your friends and family can’t recommend one, then read online reviews. A good dental office with excellent dentists like Nashua Dental Group will have stellar reviews online. Nashua Dental Group, for example has a 4.9 star rating on Google.

Does the Dentist Offer Dental Implants or Other Specialized Procedures On-site?

While many cosmetic dentists orchestrate and direct complex cases, they may not be able to perform every aspect of the treatment. Many dentists do not have the training to place dental implants, despite implants being the preferred method of replacing missing teeth. These dentists will often refer patients out to a specialist for that aspect of the treatment.

At Nashua Dental Group it’s a different story. Our dental office in Nashua has a periodontist on staff that has the special training needed to place dental implants. Additionally, a periodontist’s specialty in the gums and other tissue that surrounds the tooth means that they have the skill and training required to do tissue grafts at the site of the dental implant if needed. This makes treatment far more convenient for patients since they can get all aspects of treatment done in one place, cutting down on traveling and potential miscommunication.

Does the Dentist’s Personality Mesh With Yours?

Complex dental treatments can span multiple visits to the dental office over the course of multiple months. In addition to it being important for the dental office to be near you, it’s also important for the dentist’s personality to mesh with yours. While this may not be absolutely essential to all people, it’s definitely a factor worth considering. You will find the having a dentist with a clear communication style that works with your style would yield the best outcome. Imagine spending hours talking to or interacting with this dentist, if the thought of it makes you uncomfortable then the dentist may not be a good fit.

Is the Dentist Transparent About the Cost of Dental Treatment?

Once the dentist has completed their comprehensive examination and you both agree on a treatment plan the dentist should be able to accurately quote you the cost of the treatment. At this point the dentist knows the situation in the mouth and the services that need to be rendered for an optimal outcome. The dentist also knows what insurance coverage you have and how much it’s expected to cover. If a dentist is being cagey about providing prices after they examined you, it may be time to look for another dentist.

On the flip side, don’t expect a price when you first call the dental office. The person answering the phone does not know what treatment you will need and even the dentist won’t know until they’ve seen you.

If you’re looking for a second dental opinion in or near Nashua, we hope you consider our dental office. Our dentists would be happy to see you for a dental consulation and help you with all your dental needs.
