Dr. David Hall, a well-known cosmetic dentist
and the author of
www.mynewsmile.com, the most
visited cosmetic dentistry web site on the Internet, was asked by a
web visitor from Pennsylvania who he felt was the best implant
dentist in the country. This visitor said that he had a difficult
situation with missing front teeth, and would fly anywhere in the
country for the best care. Dr. Hall recommended he fly to Phoenix,
Arizona to see Dr. Arthur Chal. There
are certainly many excellent implant dentists, and we wouldn't want to claim that one is the very best, as that would be impossible to prove. But check out this web site and see
what you think. Dr. Chal has patients flying to him from around the country,
and even from the other side of the world, for especially difficult
cases. He has also been named by Phoenix Magazine in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2009, as one of the top dentists in Phoenix.
How to select the best implant dentist
Here's what to look for:
- Check out the
credentials. The best should be recognized by his or her peers,
and you should expect to see evidence of that respect in awards
and recognition.
-
Look for
personalized, concentrated attention to you when you are in
the office. Regardless of the talents and education of the
practitioner, if he or she is seeing three patients at a time,
it will be extremely difficult to give each one of those
patients the very best care.
-
Look for
a dentist who is constantly studying, flying to continuing
education courses. This is a fast-changing field, and
staying on top requires attending courses all over the
country.
-
If he
or she is involved in teaching implant dentistry through
various courses and organizations, that is a plus that
should inspire a great deal of confidence.
-
See
if photos of his or her work are posted on the web site,
and if there are comments from other patients. Those can
tell you a lot. Excellent dentists post their work proudly
for all to see.
-
And
look for honesty and fairness. Fees should be
presented up front, with no surprises. Excellence
doesn't need to conceal anything. And intelligence and
skill without caring and integrity don't translate into optimum
care.
