Dr. Eduardo Tanur became a certified periodontist in 1992 after completing specialized training beyond his general dentistry degree at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry. In 2001, he opened this practice with a vision to offer patients the best possible outcomes in a warm, welcoming environment.
Dr. Tanur is passionate about incorporating the latest technology and minimally invasive techniques into his practice. He’s always learning and integrating new advancements through extensive continuing education to ensure his patients receive the most current care.
In 2010, the practice grew as Dr. Tanur welcomed Dr. Ruben Ovadia, forming Dallas Periodontal Associates.
Recognized by his colleagues as a top periodontist, Dr. Tanur believes this honor comes from combining exceptional treatment with a genuine concern for his patients’ lives.
“Your overall well-being is incredibly important to me,” he shares. “I always take the time to explain everything we’ll be doing, so you feel comfortable and understand what to expect. We make sure you have the tools to care for your oral health at home, and we follow up after treatment to help you maintain your health long-term.”
Patients truly appreciate Dr. Tanur’s kind and patient approach, as well as his dedication to explaining every detail of their treatments. This helps them feel completely at ease, knowing he truly cares about them.
Dr. Tanur always takes the time to explain procedures, ensuring patients feel comfortable and understand each step.
Dr. Tanur did his undergraduate training at the Technological University of Mexico and graduated with a Doctor of Dental Science degree in 1989.
He then completed a postgraduate training at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry and earned his certification as a periodontist and a Masters Degree in oral biology in 1992. Dr. Tanur was A&M’s first ever international student to be accepted for training as a periodontist.
Dr. Tanur is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. This is an award earned only after passing a thorough and rigorous exam on all aspects of periodontics. Only 10% of periodontists have earned this distinction.
He has been chosen by his peers and featured in Texas Monthly magazine consistently since 2004 as a “Texas Super Dentist” and one of “America’s Best Dentists.” He has been featured regularly since 2007 in D magazine as one of the best periodontists in Dallas.
From 1996 to 2001 he served as an associate professor for periodontal students at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry and currently serves as faculty in the department of restorative sciences. In addition to his work with A&M students, he has lectured to practitioners in the Southwest U.S. and Latin America.
Dr. Tanur and Dr. Ovadia participate in “Give Kids a Smile,” the North Texas Hispanic Dental Association’s charity dental services event for kids with special needs. The doctors are also volunteer periodontists for “Attitudes and Attire,” a Dallas-based non-profit organization that helps women in need achieve self-sufficiency.
Dr. Tanur is happily married to Dr. Monica Aron, a pediatric dentist who currently serves as faculty at Texas A&M University College of Dentistry. He and Monica have three grown daughters. Dr. Tanur is also an avid outdoorsman who loves hiking, mountain biking, and skiing. Family is very important, and they travel often to Mexico City to visit his and Monica’s parents.
