We provide a wide range of general dentistry services, focusing on areas that feature Dr. Rubin's particular experience, expertise and advanced training. General dentistry is always done with consideration for comfort, longevity, pleasing esthetics and healthy materials. Smile enhancement through esthetic dentistry combines a "skilled eye," advanced training, excellence in technique and world class dental lab. As a pioneer in mercury-free, biocompatible dentistry, Dr. Rubin always stays on the leading edge of holistic concepts and protocols. Our successful approach with innovative methods of non-surgical periodontal therapy can solve this very pervasive adult problem - gum disease- in a comfortable, effective and non-invasive manner. Always we emphasize a gentle touch (Dr. Rubin gets compliments on this almost daily), and pampering you through your dental experience.

As a new patient, you'll begin with a thorough, unhurried examination and evaluation session. We'll use advances such as digital radiography (as much as 90% less exposure than conventional dental X-rays) and intraoral photography to help assess your present situation. As a screening for gum tissue (periodontal) health, we'll look at samples from your mouth on our powerful phase-contrast microscope (for more on this, click Biological Dentistry). Most importantly, we'll listen to you - why you are here and what are your desires and concerns. We will work with you to develop a plan that meets your desires.

Many patients come to us specifically with the goal of replacing their old, mercury-amalgam fillings with more biologically appropriate materials. They may be doing this on advice from their physician, or may have simply learned enough about the mercury controversy to decide they don't want this material in their mouths anymore. We will spend time going over our treatment protocols (see Biological Dentistry) and developing an appropriate treatment plan. This will usually also involve linking with one or more of the area's top alternative medicine practitioners.

Any proposed treatment in our office will always be decided on mutually, explained thoroughly, and accompanied by a written cost estimate. You will be handled with uncommon gentleness, caring, compassion and pampering

Note: because we see many environmentally sensitive patients, we request that no scents of any kind be worn while in our office. Thank you.
