Quoted thousands of dollars of dental work? Get a free second set of eyes in Mesa before you sign anything.
Most of the second-opinion patients who come to our Gilbert Road office in Mesa are not looking for a cheaper dentist. They are looking for someone to explain, in plain language, why a mouth that felt fine last year now supposedly needs six crowns. Sometimes there is a good clinical reason. Sometimes there is not. A free visit with our Mesa team settles it either way.
How the visit works
You bring the treatment plan, the estimate, and your X-rays if you have them. We do an exam, put your images on the screen, and go finding by finding: this tooth, this recommendation, agree or disagree, and why. You watch the reasoning happen instead of taking anyone’s word for it, ours included. The visit costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Hablamos espanol. El Dr. Carlos Rogel atiende a pacientes en espanol, y puede revisar su plan de tratamiento con usted directamente, sin interprete.
The plans we most often re-check
- Multiple crowns proposed at once on teeth that have never hurt
- Extraction plus implant, where a root canal might still save the tooth
- Periodontal “deep cleaning” programs with open-ended maintenance schedules
- Full-arch and All-on-4 quotes, where the price difference between offices can be enormous
- Anything you were pressured to schedule the same day
Insurance, AHCCCS, and paying cash
The second-opinion visit itself is free whether you are insured, on AHCCCS, or paying out of pocket. If you decide to have treatment here, we check your benefits first and hand you the real out-of-pocket number before you commit to anything. That order never changes: diagnosis, explanation, price, then your decision.
What you walk out with
A clear answer on the plan you brought, in writing, plus honest pricing for any alternative we would propose. If the original recommendation was sound, we will say exactly that. Dr. Dawood’s rule for every chair in this practice is simple: no padded plans, no scare tactics, no judgment about how long it has been since your last visit.
Call 602-932-2555 and ask for a second-opinion visit, or book through our contact page. If the quote you are questioning is for cosmetic work, run the free smile preview first. And if something hurts today, use the emergency page instead; that path is faster.
