What happens when a determined dental student ignores early academic struggles to become an expert in full arch dentistry? Meet Dr. Drew Phillips, our guest with an extraordinary journey through the dental world beginning from his roots in the Dental College of Georgia. In this episode of the Fixed Podcast, Dr. Phillips takes us through his transition from aspiring surgeon to a leading figure in implant dentistry, sharing how the influence of his father's medical career and a remarkable performance on the dental admissions test paved his path. 

Join us as I recount my own experiences in a General Practice Residency, highlighting the intense pressures of performing under professional scrutiny and the critical lessons learned about surgical visibility. From Salt Lake City's sedation dentistry to the complex world of advanced implant cases, our discussion uncovers the thrilling, yet challenging, leap from residency to specialized surgical fields. With anecdotes of managing unexpected complications, like being left to tackle a double arch case solo, the episode emphasizes the importance of understanding prosthetic aspects before advancing in implant surgery.

Together with Dr. Phillips, we explore the intricate decision-making process in implant placement, discussing the nuances of sinus positioning, implant types, and the strategic use of cantilevers. Listen in to discover our favorite dental instruments and the invaluable insights gained from international courses with experts worldwide, including a memorable training experience in Brazil. This episode promises an enlightening look into the dynamic and rewarding world of implant dentistry, offering both seasoned professionals and aspiring dentists a glimpse into the complexities and satisfactions of the field.
