Myths about Dental Implant
Why Dental Implants Are The Best Solution for Tooth Replacement
Dental Implants Can Change Your Life
Dental implants can change your life and are safe and effective replacements for teeth.
They are replacement teeth that look, feel and function like your own and help preserve facial structure and prevent bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
How Dental Implants Work
You may need a dental implant when other methods to restore your teeth fail because of periodontal disease, a failed root canal, trauma and dental infections. Dental implants are titanium screws, placed in healthy jawbone where teeth are missing. Dental implants are typically a two-step process, requiring an oral surgeon in Westchester County, NY like Dr. Kur to place the implant in healthy bone and your dentist, who will restore the implant with a crown.
Typically, a tooth is removed, and an implant bone graft is placed simultaneously. After a 2-month period of integration between the implant screw and the bone, the patient is then referred back to their general dentist for crown placement. This is usually reserved for the molar teeth.
For patients in Westchester County, NY presenting for implant surgery in the front of the mouth, Dr. Kur will remove the tooth, place the implant and then have your general dentist immediately place a temporary crown. The procedure is routinely performed without an incision and healing is minimal.
The Dental Implantology Procedure
Dr. Kur will determine if you are a candidate for implants by examining X-rays and possibly, a CT Scan. Inserting the implant takes about an hour and is typically performed under IV sedation/general anesthesia in Dr. Kur’s office. Sometimes, implants can be placed the same day that teeth are extracted. If you require a bone graft, Dr. Kur will perform the implant procedure about three months afterward.
When you come for a consultation at our Westchester County offices in Hawthorne NY you will learn about your options, which may also involve immediate placement of a temporary crown on the implant. The implant procedure is routinely performed without an incision and healing is minimal.
The Benefits of Robot-Assisted Dental Implantology
Dental Implants Are The Most Beneficial & Advanced Option for Replacing Missing Teeth.
While Dr. Kur is 100% in control during the dental implant robotic procedure, the technology assists him with 3-D surgical planning and guided surgical placement of dental implants. In many cases, it also supports same-day, minimally invasive dental implant procedures.
- Provides an unprecedented level of precision & control
- Achieves the right location, angulation, and depth to place the implant perfectly.
- Allows clear visualization of the patient’s surgical site which gives Dr. Kur the advantage to change the course of action at any time so he can optimize the patient’s anatomy
- Exact implant placement can sometimes be more difficult with free-hand surgery. Robotic assistance increases Surgical Control for Exceptional Results & Patient Experience
- Allows for a less invasive dental implant surgery, making the treatment easy for you
- Predictable Surgical Outcome

Dental Implants; Myth’s, Misconceptions & Reality
Dr. Benjamin Kur continues to be a leader in the advancements & techniques in the area of Dental Implants and has some perspective on the misconceptions associated with dental implants.
Many of us hear from friends, family or neighbors about the “difficulties” people have had with dental implants. I’ve heard it all:
“It took my mother two years.”
“My friend had infections.”
“The implants fell out.”
“The doctor needed to perform
bone grafting twice!”
“I was told I don’t have enough bone!”
These misconceptions are strictly that – myths and misinformation. Every patient has his or her own physiologic and anatomical makeup, so every patient requires a specific diagnosis, management, and treatment.

Dr. Kur extracted my 4 wisdom teeth, and also gave me four implants. Not once did I have any pain after both procedures. He did an amazing job! He and his staff were extremely friendly and very informative the entire time. If you need oral surgery this is the place to go.

Michael Burke
Dr. Kur and his staff made my experience truly wonderful. I was in such excruciating pain until I couldn’t function. They performed an emergency extraction on my wisdom tooth. I felt much better after my surgery. The office is clean and very comfortable. Obviously no one wants to have a tooth removed, however, if you need to have this procedure done, then I would definitely recommend this practice.

Laurie Baron
Dr. Kur is an amazing oral surgeon. I had implant surgery performed & I did not experience any discomfort at all. The surgery and healing process was painless. He made sure I was totally comfortable throughout the surgery. His staff was equally compassionate. Dr. Kur followed up with a phone call in the evening to make sure I was doing well. He is an excellent doctor and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of oral surgery.

Great experience!

I had a very complex oral surgery performed by Dr. Kur. I was very anxious about having the work done, but quickly relieved after speaking with Dr. Kur and his staff.

Brian Johnson
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kur, and all of his staff. Very friendly, very professional, and very clean facility! I was recommended by my dentist to have some of my wisdom teeth removed, and they made it a priority to make sure I felt welcomed and was comfortable with every step of the procedure. I had some back and forth issues with my insurance company regarding my initial appointment, and they went the extra mile to work around those issues and explore alternative solutions. The go-to place for dental surgery, especially for first timers!

Irina Burns
I recommend Dr. Kur without reservation. Everyone on his team is highly professional and responsive. Every time I had a question or needed to make an appointment, my concerns were addressed immediately. Dr. Kur was very forthcoming about the procedure, leaving no questions or concerns unanswered. I never thought I would be describing dental surgery as a great experience.

Maurice Delorenzo
I got two extractions and a post put in a couple months ago and it was so painless and the recovery was super fast and I didn’t need the pain meds at all! Even my regular dentist couldn’t believe I just got it done a week ago. Dr. Kur is fast friendly and to the point. I like that. He put me at ease on my concerns and even better he was right. Some say he’s a little pricey but he’s worth every penny. I believe in you get what you pay for and when I went to a cheaper place I ended up in a horror show and my recovery took forever. The place is clean. All the staff from the front desk to the back are friendly and professional and don’t make you feel like a number. Whoever you deal with there is great. Dr. Kur is awesome. If he runs for president I’m voting for him. If I wasn’t broke I’d mess up more of my teeth so he could fix them. Honestly, can’t say enough good things about him or his staff. Just go there, you won’t be sorry!!!!

Awesome practice, Dr. Kur, and the support staff are true professionals. It is so refreshing to be cared for in such a manner. Dr. Kur is extremely knowledgeable. He identified my problem and provided relief to an ongoing problem that I had been dealing with for almost two years. He is truly expert in his field. For the first time, I felt I got my money’s worth. Relief at last. I would recommend and will do so to anyone who needs an oral surgeon. FIVE STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH. Thank you, Dr. Kur and Staff.

A. Greene
I had a tooth that imploded under the gum line. I had been told to just leave it alone by another dentist. I knew something was wrong, and my primary care physician referred me to Dr. Kur for a second opinion. Dr. Kur advised removal of the tooth and an implant. Everything was done in three appointments. I have had no problems. I completely trust Dr. Kur and would not hesitate to contact him in the future.

Lorri Reynard
Dr. Kur is a gentle, kind and thoughtful oral surgeon. I had 2 implants put in and he went the extra mile to prepare my mouth well for them, with a really good bone graft. And when he pulls a tooth, there is no pain in taking it out. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

One of the finest practices. The office staff is dedicated to customer service and the doctor is of the highest caliber skill. Dr. Kur utilizes state of the art equipment. The doctor has great communication skills as well as superior surgical skills. The recommendation to Dr. Kur came from an ENT physician who was also a dentist. He told me that “Dr. Kur was the oral surgeon of choice for him and his family.”
