Patient Guide · Second Opinions
Getting a Second Opinion on a Full-Arch Implant Quote. Free 3D Scan, Line-by-Line Review.
A full-arch implant plan is one of the largest health investments many people make. Getting a second opinion is normal, smart and welcome. At Wilmington Dental & Implants we review your existing plan, take a complimentary 3D CBCT scan, and give you our own written plan to compare side by side.

Key takeaways
- Second opinions are normal for large implant plans.
- Bring your written plan and any scans; a 3D CBCT scan is complimentary at implant consults.
- You'll get our written plan to compare side by side, with no pressure to decide.
When a second opinion is worth it
- You were told you need all your teeth removed and want to know if any can be saved
- Your quote is a single number without a breakdown
- You were offered only one option
- You felt rushed to sign or pay a deposit the same day
What to bring
Your written plan or quote, any X-rays or CBCT scans you have, a list of medications, and your questions. If you don’t have copies of your scans, we’ll take a new 3D scan at no charge.
What we check
The number and position of implants, bone and sinus anatomy, which teeth (if any) can be kept, what the temporary and final teeth are made of, and whether follow-up visits are included. Then we show you our plan, which might be a full-arch bridge, an implant denture or a more conservative option.
Our promise
Every fee in writing, no same-day pressure, and honest advice, even if that means recommending you stay with your original plan. We’re at 2300 Pennsylvania Ave, 6th floor, with free on-site parking. Call 302-984-3300 or request a consultation.
