Dental implants are being placed by many dentists these days. They have become the first choice option for missing teeth. But while some cases are fairly straightforward, many are quite complex and require more expertise than most dentists possess.

Dr. Arthur Chal, a Phoenix, Arizona implant dentist who practices in the cosmopolitan Camelback corridor linking Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona, is a recognized expert in placing dental implants.

When Dr. Chal examined her, he found that three upper implants had been placed in her nose and that the lower fixtures were compressing the nerve to her lower lip. He also found that some of them were were loose, leaving openings for infection.

These are problems, unfortunately, that are occurring too frequently, when dental implants are placed without careful planning including thorough radiographic studies, and when substandard fixtures are used.

After Dr. Chal restored her mouth, Brenda's sister commented that she looks ten years younger.

To read more about Brenda's case study, see the page "Brenda's Dental Implants Story" on Dr. Chal's main web site. It is very helpful in understanding the importance of having an expert implant dentist perform your treatment.

In helping Brenda, Dr. Chal and his technician, Bruce Keeling, pioneered a new fixed retrievable hybrid technique. They have subsequently been teaching this technique to international audiences of dentists and technicians.
