Dr. Arthur Chal
Dr. Arthur Chal is driven to excel in all that he does. He is a consummate perfectionist who insists that nothing is too good for his patients. His long list of impressive credentials, and his recognitions and awards clearly attest to this.
Originally from the Midwest, he had a strong work ethic inculcated in him from his youth. He did his undergraduate work at Northwestern University in Chicago, where he received the Minerva Club Award for scholastic achievement.
He attended dental school at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, where he was a 1975 honors graduate and received the prestigious National Student Award in periodontics.
After graduation, he was one of only fifteen doctors selected from across the country for a residency program in surgery and prosthetic dentistry at the Great Lakes Naval Hospital near Chicago. As a result of that training, he is one of a very few dentists qualified to treat complex dental problems as a trauma team member. Dr. Chal continued in military service as Dental Officer on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. America.
In 1981, he moved to Phoenix and opened a private dental practice. His passion for learning and perfection has brought him numerous awards and recognitions. He became the youngest dentist in Arizona to receive his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry. He then became an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, became an accreditation examiner, and eventually ended up as President of that organization in 2001-2002.
He also pursued excellence in implant dentistry, and in 1996 earned his Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantology.
He runs an intimate office where no treatment is rushed. Every patient gets his complete attention. Knowing that laboratory work has to be customized to each patient, he maintains his own dental laboratory right in the office. His long list of grateful patients have written powerful testimonials of the quality of his work and the depth of his caring.
