I wasn't trying to be facetious. There isn't any practical way for you to evaluate dentistry on your own. You will know if it hurts, you will know if something falls out. Even another dentist will not be able to tell after the fact if restorative treatment (no matter how nicely done) was necessary, unless (and sometimes not even if) pre-operative x-rays are provided.

Consulting another dentist is easier said than done.
Also, how does one know if the work the dentist said they performed was really done?
