Not cut and dry: Each sees things differently. Can't possibly say who is correct. You'll need to get another opinion. Have the third confirm the opinions of the first two.

Local Dental School: All dentists have a different educational background and approach to dentistry and treatment plans. Dental school programs are directed by experienced dentists who are familiar with all dental procedures and may be able to provide you with unbiased opinion in regards to your treatment plan.

Dental school: If possible go to a dental school and get a consultation from the many professors that teach dental students on a daily basis. Have your radiographs e-mailed or in hand to expedite.
