Gentle, comfortable and minimally invasive treatment

Our minimally invasive treatment methods are very efficient and cause minimal post-operative discomfort. We use a gentle laser wherever possible for gum treatments and add growth proteins with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) treatment to surgically treat tissues, preventing infection, reducing swelling, and speeding up the healing process. Our ultrasonic scalers used for cleanings can be adjusted for patient comfort.

Our anesthetics are warmed to body temperature, and the injections are administered slowly and gently to ensure patient comfort. Dr. Tanur and Dr. Ovadia always ensure that you are entirely informed and feel at ease about what is going to happen before they begin any procedure. We provide blankets and pillows for added comfort in the chair.

State-of-the-art technology

Our doctors use the latest in advanced technology to help achieve the best possible results. This increases the accuracy and speed of diagnosis, planning and treatment.
 
Our digital X-rays are more detailed than standard film X-rays and emit far less radiation than traditional X-ray devices. Our cone beam 3D CT scanner produces 3D images of your entire jaw structure, teeth and gums. We use these images for detailed diagnosis and precise planning of your dental implant placement. This makes your implant placement quick, accurate and minimally invasive.
 
Our laser and radiosurgery devices are much less invasive and more precise than standard instruments and are used in many of our gum treatments.
