Even if just one tooth is lost, your appearance can drastically change as the surrounding teeth drift out of position and change the bite. A dental implant is a titanium post that is shaped like a small screw. Your dentist, periodontist, or oral surgeon will place the metal post in the bone under your gums.
Your bone will gradually grow around the implant and then a natural-looking replacement tooth will be attached to the metal post. Dental implants can also be used to secure a crown, bridge, or fixed dentures. If you're missing several teeth, your jaw line loses shape, your lips flatten, your chin protrudes, and wrinkles increase.

Each and every dentist here has been straightforward with me in that they have told me my teeth are in good condition, whereas other dentist will lie to get more money. The customer service is also great. Jennifer (CSR) helped me navigate some complicated insurance issues as I transferred from my work insurance to my husband's. There was a lot of back and forth phone calls, and she was so helpful and took a lot of time with me. I'm in the process of a dental implant and plan to update with the results, but so far, so good!

WOW...It's really all I can say!!! I am one of those people that "Hate" going to the dentist. In years past I've tried many different dentists and have always had a problem. Either it was the staff's poor attitude or having someone make a mistake and not come forward to say something until it was too late. BUT.... today, I had to have emergency work done and so I went to see Dr Kanter at Legacy. It was the BEST DENTAL EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD!!! Dr Kanter and his assistant, Michelle, were so patient, caring and understanding of my dental phobia. I honestly have never felt so comfortable in a dentist

Had some work done at Legacy Dental by Dr. Hangama Sadat recently. She is a true professional and does great work. My family and I have been treated by Dr. Sadat for many dental procedures in the last 14 years and we have always walked away with a great experience. Not only does Dr. Sadat treat her patients with compassion and understanding, she is also kind and gentle when working on her patients. Its really nice when you can trust your Dentist and be put at ease during procedures. I stress no more and smile often. Highly Recommend Dr. Sadat!

After 31 years at the same dental practice in Oceanside I have switched. I visited Legacy Dental this morning for an exam and consultation for implants and I can’t say enough good things about it. From check in to the dental assistant and the dentist Dr. Braithwaite my experience was absolutely great.
