Worcester MA dentist discusses the cosmetic benefits of teeth replacement with implants

Posted By

Teeth Replacement with Implants from Dr. Stanley M. Levenson, Levenson Smile
Missing teeth affect more than the look of your smile. Without stimulation from chewing or other functions, underlying bone that supports facial structure shrinks. Over time bone resorption makes you look older than you are, and dramatically alters facial shape. Since dental implants are designed to mimic natural and healthy function, they are also cosmetic teeth replacement in Worcester MA.

What makes the design so special?


The implant is the cylindrical-shaped post placed in your jawbone. The implant is designed to function like a natural tooth root. As such, the implant provides support to your new crown, bridge, or denture. This support is missing with traditional options for tooth replacement, such as conventional dentures. Without adequate support, wearers of removable dentures have long complained about poor, loose fit that interferes with the ability to chew efficiently and pronounce words properly. Functional complications are accompanied by cosmetic complications resulting from progressive bone loss, and many of the problems with eating and speaking only worsen with untreated resorption.

Don’t wait


Bone resorption starts much earlier than you may expect. It’s estimated:
  • After 12 months without a tooth, you’ll lose 25 percent of the width of supporting bone
  • Within another 24 months, bone height also decreases by around four millimeters
This process of lost bone width and height keeps repeating itself, and the amount of gum tissue also decreases. Dr. Levenson may recommend grafting to build up bone, so your implant and accordingly new tooth has a strong foundation. As few as four strategically-placed implants can support an entire arch of teeth, which helps to keep associated costs and time in the treatment chair down. Call 855-849-8255 to schedule a consultation, and the Levenson Smile team will discuss payment options, including financing, with you as well as any other questions you may have.

Well, I've got to tell you. I can't recommend highly enough Dr. Stanley Levenson. There's this mouth piece... it's great! I snore. . I used to snore, like a bear! It would leave me on the couch many, many nights. If I wasn't on the couch, I was getting an elbow in the ribs. I have sleep apnea and, using this device, I am well rested now!

Stanley is no doubt the best dentist I have ever had, He and his staff have been wonderful to me since the day we met, when I came in for an emergency with my wisdom teeth. He came in on a Sunday to look at my teeth and helped me find help when I needed it most. I have been coming here ever since! I love having my teeth cleaned, the girls are so gentle and caring and I even got my Invisalign through Stan. I always have a great experience and would never go anywhere else! Thanks to everyone at Levensonsmile for treating me like family. Your all wonderful!!

After years of severe bruxism I took the plunge and had no prep veneers done! I can't say enough about the quality of his work! I did my homework and some other consults and am so happy with my choice in Dr Levenson and his team! Friends and family are amazed at how natural they look which was my #1 request....no Chiclet gum smile for me thank you. He listened to my desires for my smile (while correcting some alignment and grinding issues) and was never pressured into doing more than I wanted. It was pain free, fast (a few couple hour appts) and done! They haven't hesitated to get me back in as I panicked over the new feeling and adjustment to the new teeth....that speaks volumes! Thanks Dr. Levenson See you in Chicago!

I just started going to Dr Levenson, and it has been many many years since I was at the dentist. Well, let me tell you, it has been nothing but a pleasant experience all the way around. Right from the moment you walk into the reception area, you are greeted by professional and friendly staff they genuinely care that you are seen quickly and are comfortable and don't need anything. Throughout any procedure I was constantly asked if I was comfortable or in any pain (I wasn't). And, Dr Levenson had to refer me out at first for a root canal, and he went out of his way to make sure I was matched up with a dentist that would suit me! The best!

Dr. Levenson and his staff are great and very friendly - I went in for a consultation for 6-month smiles because I was getting married and wanted to straighten my front teeth due to the crowding. I went for my first appointment in December, he explained everything to me and gave me my options. I decided to go with the 6-month smiles and got the braces put on before Christmas. They came off in June and I got married 4th of July weekend. Dr. Levenson did an amazing job. The results were incredible, especially since I was afraid the bottom teeth weren't going to be done in time. The crowding was pretty bad - definitely gave him a challenge but he worked his magic and made it happen. Kara was one of the assistants who worked with me and she was truly wonderful, an absolute sweetheart. Love her! Most recently, my husband did a pretty good job chipping one of his front teeth and Dr. Levenson was able to get him in and fix it quickly. Highly recommended dentist!

Dr. Levenson is a Picasso of dentistry; he works outstanding magic with his up to date ways of cosmetic dentistry. He has a great love for his artistry, and it shows with his gentle ways with his patients. Dr. Levenson has a gentle soul, and wants the best for every patient that walks through his door. For me, Dr. Levenson is my rock star dentist. and I love him and the staff for all that you have done for me. You gave me some life back, and I cannot thank you all enough.
