The other one is still tight, but is throbbing and I am now hoping that it does not fail as well. I paid thousands of dollars to Surgical Arts thinking they would put implants in that would last. I then had to pay $2000.00 to have the implant removed and bone grafted. The surgeon told me that due to the proximity of tight area far back in my jaw, the implants were too small and succumbed to the pressure of my jaw and probably should not have been put in in the first place. I am very disappointed and feel that I should have been advised to not put the implants in by the professionals at Surgical Arts. I liked Dr. Portnoy and his staff very much, but the results of the work speak for themselves.

Great First Experience at Kawa Orthodontics!…read more On September 23, 2026, I visited Kawa Orthodontics, LLP, at Mission Bay Plaza, 20423 State Road 7, Suite F18, Boca Raton, FL, for a consultation about clear aligners. I work for Dr. Zawadzky at Life Dental Care in Deerfield Beach, and he recommended that I look into improving a few small shifts in my teeth. I decided to finally take his advice and see what my options were. When I walked in, I immediately noticed how beautiful and spacious the office was--and the SHARK on the wall made me laugh! What a fun touch! I was warmly welcomed by Ms. Manuela, who was friendly and helpful from the start. After my X-rays and measurements, I met Dr. Lauren Gerkowicz, DMD. She took the time to explain my options, including the pros and cons of clear aligners, and was very honest about the treatment process and timeline. I truly appreciated her professionalism and honesty. A special thank-you to Ms. Nancy, Ms. Manuela, Ms. Jessica and Dr. Gerkowicz for making me feel so comfortable. I normally communicate with Jessica regarding patients, so it was funny being the patient this time! I am now waiting for my insurance information and payment options. If everything is comfortable for me financially, I will definitely be back! Beautiful office, plenty of parking, friendly staff and a very positive experience. Highly recommended!

I paid extra to be put out in twilight . Someone prior to him apparently missed that I had a cavity and the tooth could not be saved . This was the 1st time ever I had to have a tooth extracted other than the wisdom teeth and was more than happy with the results . I did not want any issues later in life but he said it barely moves and could possibly take many years 10 or more even that to have an issue . He did not recommend extraction unless I am feeling uncomfortable. I guess I'll check back next year but I do have insurance now and wanted to take a precaution . He is wonderful and said he would do it if that's what I wanted but would wait He works out of Kawa Orthodontics office which has a welcoming and soothing waiting area of the ocean and sea throughout the whole place.

I was surprised by how wonderful they all were so I decided to make my appointment after my dentist told me I probably needed my wisdom teeth removed. I came in and had my panoramic xrays then finally sat with Dr.Bowman to discuss my options. Honestly, I cant say I've met such a cool and honest doctor. He told me I didnt really need to have the surgery done. He could have said yes do it to made his money but he put patient care first! Awesome guy and awesome team. I highly recommend them. My boyfriend's surgery was very smooth, no problems what's so ever. Oh btw, they have an incredible special out, I think its $1675 for all 4 wisdom teeth with anesthesia included. Who can beat that?

Because the tooth had been missing for many years, the bone in that area had become very thin, and several dentists told me the implant would most likely need to be removed. I felt completely hopeless. Dr. Katz was able to save the implant by rebuilding and strengthening the bone around it and stabilizing the entire area instead of removing it. The pain disappeared, everything healed beautifully, and I was able to avoid getting a bridge that would have damaged my healthy teeth. I truly appreciate that he chose the best solution for me rather than the most profitable one. His assistant was also incredibly attentive, gentle, and professional throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Katz to anyone looking for an honest and highly skilled specialist.
