I accompanied an elderly friend to a series of appointments to replace a broken denture. At age 99 and a nursing home resident, she is unable to complete this review herself but she is very happy with the care she received. I was very impressed with the office staff, Dr Chasolen’s assistant, Chanel, and Dr Chasolen’s caring manner and skill. I would not hesitate to use his services should the need arise and highly recommend his practice.

I had some dental work done in California and was left with a complete occlusal mess and a great deal of pain. I needed to find a dentist locally who could correct the work- I saw several dentists in Sarasota, and all were either unwilling or unable to help. I finally found Dr. Chasolen who completely changed my life for the better. He assured me he'd do everything he could to make me comfortable again. We worked together for months to correct the improper work and I'm now completely out of pain thanks to his talent and patience. I am forever grateful! I see Sara in his office now for cleanings and she is also wonderful.

I was referred to Dr Chasolen’s office over 14 years ago due to previous dental incompetency that had caused complications that needed Dr Chasolen’s expertise to correct. Dr Chasolen really took on my case, discussed it with a team of other dentist that he consults with and came up with a short term and long term plan. I have had to go through extensive repair work but finally everything is corrected and I have a beautiful smile that also functions properly which is a game changer. His staff has always been so friendly, relatable and professional especially Paula who I have had the privilege to work closely with all these years and has fine tuned my gorgeous restorative caps. The icing on the cake is they play really fun music too, hehe.

Great experience at Dr. Chasolen office today. The office staff and everyone was very informative and helpful. And Dr. Chasolen was very helpful going over the plan for my teeth. My teeth are looking so natural again after my accident. Can’t wait for last visit and final look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Second Opinions

Why should I get a second opinion?
A second opinion can provide clarity and peace of mind before moving forward with treatment. Different dentists have different levels of training, experience, and technology, which can affect treatment recommendations. A second opinion allows you to explore alternative options, confirm an existing plan, or determine whether additional solutions are available. This is especially important for complex cases involving dental implants, full-arch restorations, or extensive restorative work.
What if I was told I am not a candidate for dental implants?

Being told you are not a candidate does not always mean implants are impossible. It may simply mean a different approach or advanced planning is needed. Factors such as bone loss, bite alignment, or previous dental work can affect candidacy. With advanced imaging and prosthodontic expertise, additional solutions may be available that were not previously considered.

What happens during a dental second opinion appointment?

During a second opinion consultation, your dentist will review your dental history, existing treatment plans, and any prior imaging. A comprehensive evaluation may include advanced digital imaging to better understand your oral health and restorative needs. Findings are explained clearly, and potential options are discussed along with their benefits and limitations. There is no obligation to proceed with treatment. The goal is to provide precise information so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
