A second opinion is your right and is common for larger treatments. It does not mean that your current practice is doing anything wrong. It means that you are making a decision with a second pair of eyes.
What we check
- Items and scope: Does the plan match the findings? Is anything duplicated or missing, and is there a gentler sequence?
- Alternatives: Implant, bridge, denture or preserving the tooth. We show the options side by side, with advantages and disadvantages.
- Subsidies and reimbursement: Has the fixed subsidy been applied correctly, has the bonus booklet been taken into account, and what will a supplementary insurance cover?
- Material and laboratory: Where does the restoration come from, which material, what guarantee?
How it works
- Upload your cost planAs a PDF or photo, at the bottom of this page. Alternatively, simply bring it with you to the appointment.
- Call-back within two working daysOur reception team gets in touch, clarifies any questions and arranges an appointment.
- Appointment with our own examinationA second opinion requires a look in the mouth and usually a current X-ray. Please bring any existing images with you, so that we can avoid additional radiation exposure.
- Our assessment, in writingYou receive our evaluation of the plan and, if you wish, our own treatment and cost plan for comparison.
What the second opinion costs
We charge the examination and consultation as a normal dental service, for patients with statutory health insurance via the insurance card. An additional X-ray or 3D scan is only taken if it is necessary for the assessment, and is discussed beforehand.
Good to know
The second opinion is independent of where you later choose to be treated. If you decide in favour of us, our own treatment and cost plan applies; our prices and out-of-pocket amounts are published openly on this website. How a private invoice is calculated is explained on the page about the German fee schedule for dentists (GOZ).
Please hand over findings and X-rays only via this form or in person, not as an unencrypted e-mail to kontakt@zahnarzt-weissenfels.com.
