Hey JamesL,

As in any other industry, there is no positive way to know what kind of work a professional will do, but you can get the best idea through reputation. Of course, there is very little accountability in many professions, especially dentistry, because no trained, objective party checks the work after it's done.

I have personal knowledge of dentists that were told to do certain types of work only and they went crazy on a kids mouth and capped every tooth. This most often happens on welfare kids because the dentists knows they will get paid by the government and the patient is too poor to sue.

Anyway, asking about particular dentists on this forum is allowed so feel free to ask away.

Hope this helps.
