Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding Periodontist and Implant Specialist!
People make all the difference! Hands down Dr. Fava and the Pennsylvania Center for Dental Implants and Periodontics have some of the best people in the Dentistry field. A little background, over the years I was hard on my front teeth and have experienced a “few” traumatic episodes in which my real teeth and then dental bridge have been knocked out of my face. The trauma has resulted in the degradation of my remaining teeth that support my then existing dental bridge. Dr. Fava was tasked with removing the damaged teeth and replacing them with implants. I cannot thank Dr. Fava and his wonderful staff enough. Dr. Fava is better than great, he is fantastic! His knowledge and expertise in periodontics is astounding. Following a detailed explanation of the procedures and costs, Dr. Fava preformed the extraction, repaired my hard and soft tissue, and delivered top notch Straumann implants. My other favorite dentist Dr. Mike Spatafora worked with Dr. Fava to give me back my SMILE!

I went to him for a dental procedure to save my teeth and gums. Dr. Fava kept telling me how great I was doing and that the procedure was a complete success. My dentist told me that there was something very wrong as my gums were worse than they were before and that i should get a second opinion from another periodontist. I went to two others just to be sure. Found out all the pocket depth charting was done so that the results looked good on his stats but that in fact my gums had gotten worse to the point that now I either need extensive gum surgery or all of my teeth will have to be pulled and hopefully i can get implants. Horrible do do this to someone and get away with it but there is not much that can be done when a dentist messes you up as much as he did with me. Everything i am stating here is the truth and only being posted to save someone from going through what i went through.

Could not have had a better experience from scheduling through surgery to follow up. Warm welcoming staff, Dr. Fava is highly skilled. No pain during or after for laser periodontal surgery.
