We have been seeing the same dentist for over 20 years (over 30 years in DW's case). Very satisfied with him -- the guy really knows his stuff, and will go to heroic measures to save a tooth. He will also fit you in when an emergency happens.
Now his son has joined the practice, and will eventually take it over completely when dad retires (probably in the next few years). The son seems to also be a good dentist, and no complaints there, either.
The problem is that due to a couple of moves (ours, not his), his office became kind of a stretch for us to get to. We were willing to stay with him, though.
Now they are moving the practice to a location which is a lot farther away from us. Pretty close to an hour's drive with no traffic.
I've decided that this is reason enough to find a new dentist. But I have no clue how to find a good one. Is there any way, other than asking friends, to narrow the field?
