NYC Dentist Recommendation?

[JordanIB]

I feel like I'm not the only one in this position...

Live in the city now, had to give up my dentist out on Long Island (he retired anyway).

Need a new dentsit in Manhattan (I would take downtown White Plains also). Aside from just searching my insurance company's site and getting a list of names, I have no way of picking a dentist and knowing if he/she is good or not or comes well recommended. I just need general dentistry -- annual cleaning and check-up type stuff -- and might need a little bit of cosmetic work.

Can anybody recommend someone?

(This may well get me a *, but I'm desperate...I've been trying for months to no avail to find one).
