Review for Dr. Ira Freedman - Periodontist, Implant SurgeonPerformance Dental of Palm Bay, Florida…read moreI am a 71-year-old retiree, and my dental journey has been a long and difficult one. As a teenager, I suffered a serious facial injury that resulted in lost teeth and broken bones in my face and mouth. Over the decades, I underwent numerous dental procedures--mostly bridge replacements--some successful, others disappointing.
About three years ago, I needed to replace my upper front bridge, but severe bone loss left me with limited options: extensive bone grafting followed by multiple implants, or a removable denture. I consulted nearly every reputable professional I could find, including the well-known practices you see advertised on television. Unfortunately, the costs were overwhelming, so I reluctantly chose a removable denture.
While the denture itself was well made, I hated removing it every night and struggled to eat many of the foods I love. Six months ago, I saw a commercial for Performance Dental and decided to schedule a free consultation. Before my visit, I researched Dr. Ira Freedman and was impressed by his extensive experience and consistently excellent reviews.
After meeting Dr. Freedman and his assistant, Misty, I was beyond impressed. They performed a full CT scan and developed a treatment plan that honestly seemed too good to be true--yet it wasn't. The plan was comprehensive, effective, and amazingly affordable.
Like many people, I never enjoyed going to the dentist--until now. Dr. Freedman and Misty made me feel completely at ease; they treat me like family. Every step was clearly explained, and every procedure was executed with precision and care. Having everything done under one roof--from advanced imaging to treatment and lab work--made the entire process seamless. The facility and technology are far more advanced than anything I have experienced before.
Dr. Freedman performed a full-arch bone graft, placed implants, provided a permanent upper bridge, a lower bridge, and additional crowns. Today, I have a full, permanent set of beautiful teeth--upper and lower--and, most importantly, I can smile, eat, and live comfortably again.
And the best part? I could actually afford it.
I cannot recommend Dr. Ira Freedman, Misty, and the entire team at Performance Dental highly enough. They truly changed my life.
