Our Team

Philosophy 

We believe that there is no better way to heal than from within. Our treatment philosophy, therefore, starts with YOU! and maximizing your own body’s ability to control or cure the disease condition.

 

Yair and his team approach your condition holistically and focus on healthy diet changes, mindfulness habit modification and therapeutic management of both oral and systemic inflammation. We treat through education so that you can not only make the best decisions for your treatment, but maintain the results and prevent future diseases from occurring.

 

If and when surgery does become indicated, we manage your case with minimally invasive and curative interventions that will allow you to better manage your own oral health at home and with the aid of your general dental team.
