Dental second opinion in ZürichBefore a tooth goes,
a second look is worth it.

A second opinion before an extraction in Zürich-Enge: feel free to bring your X-rays. We look under the microscope and show you whether and how the tooth can be preserved. Both paths in writing, with prognosis and effort. You decide in your own time.

Your concern

Sound familiar?

No explanation
“I was told the tooth has to go. Nobody really explained why.”
Final
“An implant sounds final. I want to be sure there is no other way.”
Two opinions
“Two dentists, two opinions. Whom should I believe?”
Understand
“I want to understand what is going on with my tooth before I decide.”

This is exactly what a second opinion is for.

How we work

How you get a clear answer.

One appointment, a close look, an assessment you understand.

Surgical microscope at Zahnlounge Zürich-Enge
01

Bring along

Bring any existing X-rays and records. If something is missing, we take a current image where it makes sense.

02

Look closely

We examine the tooth under the microscope and show you on screen what we see.

03

Assess

You learn how we rate the prospects of preserving the tooth. Openly and clearly.

04

Put in writing

You receive both paths in writing, preservation and extraction, each with prognosis and effort. You decide in your own time.

Why Zahnlounge

An assessment you can build on.

We look at the person first, then at the tooth.

Focus on tooth preservation

Around 1,500 root canal treatments a year under the microscope, many of them on teeth that had already been given up on elsewhere.

Honest in both directions

Sometimes extraction is the better choice. Then we say so, and you know why.

Your decision

The second opinion stands on its own. How and where things continue afterwards is up to you.

Good to know

Clarity before you decide.

What people ask us about second opinions.

01How does a second opinion work?⌄
You bring your records, we examine the tooth under the microscope and discuss the findings with you straight away. Afterwards you receive both paths in writing, with prognosis and effort.
02Does a second opinion commit me to treatment with you?⌄
No. You receive our assessment and decide freely how and where to continue. If you wish, we send the records to your dentist.
03Can a tooth be saved that another dentist wants to extract?⌄
Often, yes. Dr. Dominika Kleinert-Baltsios, MSc Endodontics, examines every such tooth under the microscope before a decision on extraction is made. You receive an honest prognosis and both paths in writing. Sometimes the answer is that extraction is the better choice. Then you know why.
04Preserving the tooth or an implant: which is better?⌄
Where your own tooth has a good prognosis, preserving it is generally the gentler path. An implant is a proven solution when the tooth cannot be preserved. What is right for you depends on the findings. That is exactly what we clarify in the second opinion.
