Dr Levin replaced a 4-tooth bridge with an implant (provided by the fine Dr Roy Eskow) and 4 crowns. There were delays due to bone implants and due to attempts at color matching the crowns. 2 weeks after the implant was complete and all matching installed, one front tooth was loose. When I went in to review this with Levin, he explained that in the duration of this procedure, the root atrophied to a proportion that won't support the newly-installed crown. He hadn't been reviewing xrays.He offered no compensation, no apologies for not having noticed this despite repeated xrays being taken throughout the effort. This is not professional. A good dentist assumes responsibility when he's made an oversight.
Additionally, I'd had my front bottom teeth laser whitened. It turns out that I am one of the people in the minority who experience dental pain after this procedure. Fine, but it's REAL pain nonetheless, and I expect a dentist to answer his emergency phone when a patient calls. If the dentist can't answer the phone, he should return voice mail. Levin did neither. I had to call him back later. Not good service.
He also misdiagnosed a molar cracked all the way down to the pulp. I was grateful to see a good endodontist.
