Trusted second opinions offered at Melbourne East Prosthodontics
Dr Kirthi Kosalram, Specialist Prosthodontist at Melbourne East Prosthodontics, regularly receives enquiries from both dentists as well as patients who seek the services of a specialist dentist for a second opinion.
When a patient or dentist is faced with a health-related decision, involving complex dental implant surgery or an elaborate dental treatment plan, obtaining a second opinion from another qualified dental professional can be beneficial. This will either:
- Reinforce the original recommendation of the dentist/ specialist
or
- Offer a different perspective, which will help the patient and/ the dentist make a choice and finalise a treatment plan
Either way, obtaining a second opinion from a qualified dental expert is in the best interests of the patient and therefore, highly recommended.
