My mouth is such a disaster that I see the FACULTY at the dental school --- ordinarily they give you to students so the students can get the experience (while being supervised, of course), but most of the professors have one or two days a week where they work on people themselves, just to keep up their skills, I guess. I'm hesitant to look for a second opinion, because if dentists who teach dentistry say something can't be done, it seems likely that it can't be done. I don't know why anybody else would tell me anything different. Good luck though, Wi. Let me know what you come up with.
