Endodontic Second Opinions in Greater Phoenix Metro
Uncertain about a recommended root canal, retreatment, or extraction? Get peace of mind with an independent evaluation from Dr. Hope Feldman, a board-certified endodontist using CBCT 3D imaging and microscope examination to provide clarity on your treatment options.
Make Informed Decisions About Your Dental Health
Diagnostic Clarity
CBCT 3D imaging reveals what traditional X-rays might miss—hidden canals, fractures, and the true extent of infection.
Treatment Verification
Confirm whether a root canal, retreatment, or extraction is truly necessary before proceeding with irreversible procedures.
Alternative Options
Explore all possibilities—sometimes a tooth can be saved when others recommend extraction.
When to Seek a Second Opinion
Extraction Recommended
Before losing a tooth, confirm it truly can't be saved with modern endodontic techniques.
Multiple Root Canals Suggested
Verify the necessity when several teeth are diagnosed for treatment simultaneously.
Persistent Symptoms
When pain continues after treatment or diagnosis remains unclear.
Complex Cases
Curved roots, calcified canals, or previous treatment complications benefit from specialist evaluation.
