Help me find a NOLA dentist!

O brilliant and knowledgable hivemind - I'm looking for a fantastic dentist/oral surgeon in New Orleans.
My hubby cracked a tooth almost in half and we're trying to find a reliable dentist that can pull a tooth, even if it's in multiple pieces, with little or no difficulty. Before Katrina, I had an awesome dentist (even though he was retired). He's in Chicago now, and I need someone who can pull a tooth before you even know it's done.
I found a previous thread (http://ask.metafilter.com/54409/Open-wide-this-wont-hurt-a-bit), and I'm going to make some calls and see what some of those dentists have in the way of available appointments, but I'd still appreciate any other recommendations, especially on the Westbank or in downtown New Orleans. We're paying cash, if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance!

She is fantastic and a complete perfectionist. Very, very good. Two thumbs up, 5 stars would fill/clean my teeth again.

He's in Metairie, but is the best dentist I've ever been to. I can't say enough good things about him.

Do NOT go to Jay Dumas. The concierge at my hotel recommended him when I had a problem with a filling and he treated the wrong tooth. I should have walked out when I noticed the sign forbidding parents to be present while their children were being treated. I was road tripping through LA, MS and AL after my time in NOLA and when the tooth continued to hurt I called a synagogue and asked for a recommendation--that dentist (in AL) was much better.

I am very disheartened that a patient would recklessly slander the name of a good competent Dentist. I am a graduate of Temple University School of Dentistry, by far proven to be one of the best Dental Schools in the country. In my eight years of practice, I can count on one hand the number of patients whom were not satisfied with my service. I am sorry you felt that way Ms. brujita. In reading all your post, you seem to be disgruntled with all aspects of your life. I challenge you to post your real name so I can trully clear my name after I review your record.
Respectfully,
Dr. Jay C. Dumas
