Thanks again for the additional info Bex. I have noticed while reading through many of the posts on the forum that you have provided us with A LOT of helpful information. I want to say thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom and the results of your research efforts with all of us. It greatly helps, as all of this is very time-consuming, and it really makes a difference to get pointed in the right direction, or to just have research results confirmed by someone else who has been there before.

Ironically, I just checked into Clifford testing yesterday. The biologic dentist where I plan on having my amalgams removed recommended this place for materials testing. They said that the test costs around $300, so I am going to see if there is a way that I can get a referral and get my health insurance to pay for at least part of it. Even if not though, it will be money well spent. I will also send Mr. Clifford an e-mail, and get his input on the Cerac crowns as well, as I'm pretty convinced that this will be the route for crown replacement that I will be taking, unless the test results come back with a surprise.

Thanks again,
Jason
