Not Sure About Your Treatment Plan? You Deserve a Second Opinion.

If you’ve received a treatment plan from another oral surgery or periodontal office and something doesn’t feel right – the cost, the scope, or simply a lack of confidence – you’re not alone. At NorthShore Center for Oral & Facial Surgery and Implantology, we believe every patient deserves complete clarity before moving forward with oral surgery or dental implants. That’s why we’re proud to offer complimentary second opinion consultations for patients who present a copy of their treatment plan from another oral surgery or periodontal office.

Radiographic images are not included in this offer. If you have radiographs from another office, please bring them with you to your consultation.

What a Second Opinion Can Reveal
  • Whether the recommended procedure is truly necessary
  • If a more conservative or cost-effective approach is available
  • How the proposed dental implant plan compares to current best practices
  • What your true out-of-pocket costs may be — in-network vs. out-of-network

In-Network Doesn’t Always Mean Lower Cost

One of the most common misconceptions in oral surgery is that staying in-network guarantees you’re getting the best deal. In reality, in-network treatment plans can often exceed the out-of-pocket cost of care at an out-of-network oral surgery practice. Insurance networks negotiate rates that benefit carriers — not always patients.

Before you commit to a costly dental implant procedure or oral surgery treatment, it’s worth knowing all of your options. A second opinion from our team costs you nothing, and it could save you thousands.

Experience That Speaks for Itself

Our oral surgeons have decades of private practice experience and have successfully performed countless complex cases, including full arch reconstructions and dental implant procedures. That level of expertise doesn’t just instill confidence – it produces results that last, coupled with care for your experience after the procedure is over. 

Doing It Right the First Time

In oral surgery, the stakes are high. Poorly planned or improperly executed procedures – from dental implant placement to bone grafting – can lead to complications, additional surgeries, and significantly higher costs down the road. Our surgeons are committed to doing the job correctly from the start, using advanced 3D imaging technology and proven surgical techniques to plan and execute every case with precision.

The goal isn’t just to complete a procedure. It’s to give you a lasting, healthy outcome you won’t need to revisit.
