This dentist is not qualified to do dental implants. He did a horrible job on mine and now I am stuck with a bridge instead of an implant. I had to see another dentist to remove the implant. The post is permanently left in the bone. He was not willing to admit the work was unsatisfactory, when a panel of his peers all agreed that it was inadequate during a Peer Review. See a specialist for an implant - not Dr. Pearl!
