Since this is a permanent, major move, I want a second opinion. If you have experience with a dentist who is especially good with dentures, I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you.   tourne Citizen Username: Tourne Post Number: 313 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Monday, March 1, 2004 - 8:09 pm:        TJ Emmer (father and son) in Morristown are good.   Lizziecat Citizen Username: Lizziecat Post Number: 179 Registered: 5-2003 Posted on Monday, March 1, 2004 - 8:17 pm:        Whenever I hear "extracting" I cringe. Definitely get a second opinion. Dentists today try to save teeth. I go to Dr. David Silverstrom in Livingston, and have been for twenty years. He is the best dentist around. He's skillful and uses the latest innovative techniques. He is also extremely expensive, but I figure my teeth are worth it.   Lizziecat Citizen Username: Lizziecat Post Number: 180 Registered: 5-2003 Posted on Monday, March 1, 2004 - 8:18 pm:        Whenever I hear "extracting" I cringe.

Lizziecat, I agree about cringing (actually, crying, in my case) at the thought of extractions. But your words "extremely expensive" also put me off. Maybe I'll give him a call and see what insurance he takes. I don't want to spend the rest of my life looking at gaps in my teeth and regretting not pursuing a second opinion. Anyone else have any recommendations?
