dream smiles
Dr. Malek Esrawi is recognized for his meticulous approach and strong reputation in cosmetic dentistry and implantology. “I do not believe in repairs and patching. Instead, I am preventative in my methodology, ensuring patients receive complete, total care.”
“We employ state-of-the-art technologies, helping make our practice—Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry—more innovative and luxurious, providing patients with the latest available treatments,” says the experienced dentist. “Having performed hundreds of complete smile makeovers, I am extremely adept in creating beautiful smiles that adhere to high standards of accuracy and exceptional quality care.” Additionally, Dr. Esrawi’s office offers a full range of services, including veneers, crowns, whitening and implants—all under one roof. “We are considerate of our patients’ time and take every necessary means to accommodate them. Our goal is to exceed expectations.” To facilitate this vision, patients are taken almost always on time and are offered complimentary paraffin wax treatments and aromatherapy towels. “We leave no stone unturned. Patients can even listen to music, watch television or engage in a movie during their procedures. Exemplary patient comfort and quality results are paramount—before, during and after procedures.”

Named one of America’s Top Dentists for 2007 by the Consumers’ Research Council of America in cosmetic and implant dentistry, Dr. Esrawi describes himself as “vigilant” in his approach. This philosophy filters down to his tenured staff, whom he commends for their knowledge, professionalism and compassion. “We are sensitive to the ‘now’ factor, not the ‘later’ factor, and believe in making each appointment count. Some procedures can even be performed in a single visit. I want every patient to leave my office knowing they are in the care of a competent, veteran team.”

Inside Information
ASK DR. ESRAWI
Q: WHAT ROLE DO DENTAL IMPLANTS PLAY IN COSMETIC DENTISTRY? A: Dental implants are often a component of a more extensive aesthetic dental plan. Many people are missing a tooth or multiple teeth due to age, heredity, trauma or decay. Bridgework was once a popular solution but involved trimming the adjacent teeth to fashion the bridge. In addition to compromising surrounding teeth, the continuous bone loss and gingival shrinkage were not particularly aesthetic. Today, we can replace a single tooth or perform a full-mouth reconstruction using implants that look AS NATURAL AS THE TEETH YOU WERE BORN WITH. At our practice, the surgery and temporary aesthetic crowns are done in ONE VISIT. For full-mouth reconstructions or more comprehensive restorations involving multiple implants, we initially perform the procedure on a computer to virtually assess what needs to be done using CAT scan and 3-D software. Then, we send the images to the implant manufacturer, where the surgical template, teeth and titanium framework are developed to PRECISE SPECIFICATIONS. Barring any medical contraindications, the soft tissue heals in about a week, and the bone matures over the course of three months to a year. The result? BEAUTIFUL, STRONG TEETH THAT COULD LAST A LIFETIME.
