Guys I'm in a bit of a dilemma for this years Turkey season. Due to some dental work I am having done I don't believe I will be able use my mouth calls, which is all I have ever used. So now I am trying to decide what type of call to go with and would really appreciate some thoughts.

Pot calls,box calls,pushpin calls should all work great...

The more calls you have, the better your options.  |

I've had good luck with glass calls from a company called Cody Calls but you never know what will work sometimes.

Exactly. An old Tennessee turkey hunter once told me that if you catch a tom at the right time, he'll come running to a rusty nail run across a tin can.
I carry at least one of every type call.

For box calls, I've used the HS Strut "Field Champion", which is a 2-sided box, and I picked up for this year a Primos "Box Cutter", which is a 1-sided box.
For pot/friction calls, I've got several slates, but I picked up a Primos "Power Crystal" call last year and really like its response... seems to get a better grip on the striker and gives better control and more variation in sounds than with the slates.
For friction call maintenance, Primos makes a little tool called the "Slick Stick" which has stone and diamond scrapers for dressing up the crystal/synthetic pots, a little scrubber pad for cleaning slate calls, and chalk for box calls in one handy little unit.
The Primos DVD "Mastering the Art of Spring Turkey Hunting" is the best I've found for covering the use of all calls completely, and will show you how to make all the sounds on a box or pot that you've been doing with the mouth calls...
Hope this info helps, and good luck!
