Treatments
Second opinion
You have received a cost estimate for implants, crowns or a larger restoration and are unsure whether the proposed path is the right one? A second professional assessment brings clarity before you decide.
How your second opinion works
Records & appointment
Bring your existing X-rays and the cost estimate – your current practice will provide both on request. Missing images are taken here with low-dose digital equipment.
Examination & assessment
We examine you thoroughly and assess the findings and treatment plan independently – without time pressure and with room for all your questions.
Alternatives & costs
You receive our assessment in writing – with sensible treatment alternatives and transparent costs according to the SSO tariff.
Your free decision
Open-ended and without pressure: you decide at your own pace – and freely, wherever you wish to be treated.
When a second opinion makes sense
For planned implants or bone augmentation, extensive restorations, a recommended extraction, the question of root canal treatment versus extraction, and for four-figure cost estimates.
What to bring
Please bring existing X-rays and records to your appointment, ideally in digital form. Your previous practice will provide them on request.
Personal assessment
The assessment is made personally by Dr. med. dent. Christian Dettwiler, with experience in reconstructive dentistry and implantology (member of SSO, SSE and ITI).
Written, transparent, open-ended
You receive our assessment in writing, with possible alternatives and their costs. You remain free to choose where to be treated.
What it costs
Examination and assessment are billed as a normal consultation at the SSO tariff. The written cost estimate with a comparison of alternatives is free of charge.
