The Dentist 2[a] is a 1998 American psychological slasher film directed by Brian Yuzna and starring Corbin Bernsen, Jillian McWhirter, Jeff Doucette, and Susanne Wright.

Alan winds up in the small town of Paradise, Missouri, pretending that he has grown upset at life in the big city.

He uses a previously established false identity of Dr. Lawrence Caine and has a bank account where he had been sending the money he skimmed off from his practice to hide from the IRS.

The bank officer Mr. Wilkes introduces Alan to his niece Jamie, hoping that she can rent out her small cottage for "Larry" to live in so she could collect money from it.

When he has problems with a cap on one of his teeth, Alan visits the inept town dentist, Dr. Burns, whom he takes an instant dislike to.

Robbie comes to install some more drywall and rings the office doorbell, leaving Alan no choice but to pause his torture session and answer the door.

In the ensuing fight, Alan kills Robbie with a hammer, turns back to Beverley, and re-tapes her to the dental chair.

Then, out of a final act of desperation and what seems to be her only defense, she bites down hard on the drill causing it to lock up and jam inside her teeth.

Suddenly Brooke appears and begins to seduce him into one of his chairs; just before she can cut his tongue off with a pair of scissors, Jamie knocks her out with an overhead lamp.

However, as Jamie is calling the police about Brooke, she spots the bloody hammer and opens a closet door to find Robbie's and Beverley's maimed corpses.
