PHILADELPHIA, PA (PRWEB) September 19, 2006 –– (MDTV®) According to the American Dental Association (ADA), people are losing fewer teeth as they age than they did in the past. Today, when missing teeth need to be replaced, a serious look into dental implants is essential. Even though dental implants are the next best thing to your own natural teeth, past extended healing times of 3-4 months keep some people from deciding to move forward with the procedure.

SLActive, Straumann’s new-generation implant surface technology, dramatically reduces healing times from 12 to 3-4 weeks. SLActive is a newly developed and extensively researched implant surface that quickly promotes 60% more bone formation around the implant within 2 weeks of placement, giving the dental implant increased stability.

Philadelphia’s MDTV Select® Periodontist, Robert A. Levine, DDS, founder and Director of the Pennsylvania Center for Dental Implants and Periodontics, offers his patients advanced dental technology, including SLActive, and is one of the pioneers of "immediate load" dental implants. Levine explains, "Using SLActive increases stability early on in the healing process, which gives the implant a better chance for success and provides a positive experience for patients." Dr. Levine stresses that the best results are achieved through a team approach, where a restorative/ cosmetic dentist, endodontist or orthodontist works hand-in-hand with his office to develop a treatment plan in which superior results and optimal patient satisfaction are achieved.
