1. Do you have a dental school in your area? If you do you can go to them and get a second opinion.

The one by me is very reasonable and work is done by senior dental students. All the work is overseen by the staff instructors using the latest techniques. Even if you don't have the work done there you get a second opinion and maybe the translation from the "Dental-ese"
They took very good care of my mouth and very conservative with the treatment..
Since I've moved every new dentist I go to sees a grand opportunity to make a few boat payments in my mouth. UFF..it's all about the money for them.
Oh and watch for a bit of "miss quoting of costs" One dental "company" said four extractions
that I did not need were covered by my insurance. On inquiry the insurance company said, they only covered ONE extraction per year...That means the other three I would have to pay out of pocket.
"Oh sorry your insurance only covers one so now you are responsible for the other three extractions"
Cash, credit card or our usurious payment plan...
Ok rant mode off..
