Understand your options before you commit to treatment
A Second Opinion Before You Commit to Treatment
A dentist has just told you that you need a root canal, an extraction, several crowns, or a full-mouth reconstruction — and you are not sure whether that is really the right plan, or the only plan. At Upper East Dental Innovations on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Dr. Sharda Harvey, DDS, MS, FICOI, and her team provide independent second opinions for patients throughout New York City who want clarity, confidence, and options before agreeing to significant dental work. A second opinion is a normal, responsible part of healthcare — the same way patients seek a second opinion before major medical surgery, it makes sense to do the same before extensive, expensive, or irreversible dental treatment.
Why Get a Second Opinion at Upper East Dental Innovations?
- Independent review of your existing X-rays, scans, and treatment plan
- Clear, honest explanation of why a treatment is (or is not) necessary
- Alternative, less invasive options presented when they exist
- Written comparison of cost, timeline, and long-term outcomes
- No pressure to switch practices — some patients simply want reassurance
- Advanced 3D imaging available in-office if your existing records are incomplete

This was my first time at the dentist office. Henry was amazing and super efficient at taking my xray scans. The receptionist was accommodating and explaining my insurance with detail. The office provides these cool glasses during treatment so you aren't blinded by the lights and has computer displays to show you images of your teeth during the treatment. Doctor Harvey explained my teeth in a detailed manner which as an engineer I appreciate. I can't wait to be back again.
