Second opinions
A second opinion on your treatment plan
If another dentist has told you that you need a root canal, an implant, extractions or braces, we will look at your case with the specialist who does that work and tell you plainly what we would do.

Why ask a specialist
A treatment plan from a general practice is often written before a specialist has seen you. At Zara the specialists are in the building: our endodontist sees root canal cases, our prosthodontist sees implant and full-arch cases, and our pediatric dentist sees children. You hear from the person who would actually do the work.

What to bring
- The treatment plan or estimate you were given
- Recent X-rays, if you have them (your dentist can send them to us)
- Your insurance card, if you have one
- Any questions you did not get answered
03 / 04
What you leave with
A clear answer: whether we agree, what we would do differently, and why. If we would treat you, you get our plan and price in writing. If we think the first plan is right, we will say so.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral for a second opinion?
No. Call 713-766-1122 or request an appointment online.
Can you use the X-rays I already have?
Often, yes, if they are recent and clear. If we need new ones, we take them during the visit.
Will you pressure me to be treated here?
No. You get our honest view and a written plan, and the decision is yours.
Question about your own teeth?
The front desk will book you with the right clinician.
