Smile Enhancement Emphasis

Everything we do is based on the health of your smile. Even cosmetic dentistry provides superior health benefits. Dr. Dunayer has focused on cosmetic and implant dentistry to increase the long-term health, function and appearance of his patients' smiles.

Cosmetic dentistry provides a level of smile care not possible before. Dental implants are a permanent solution that can make the jaw stronger and more youthful looking, plus give patients a level of confidence that dentures can’t. Our patients appreciate having this kind of esthetic and restorative expertise so close by and financially accessible. Traveling to Manhattan for the perfect smile is no longer necessary.

Smile Enhancement Skills
Advanced Implant TrainingGeneral Dentistry & Background

 

Dr. Dunayer has been giving his patients the extraordinary benefits of cosmetic dentistry since 1995. Besides the experience he has in creating beautiful smiles for his patients, he has hundreds of hours of training with some of the best doctors in cosmetic dentistry. This includes advanced training in laser gum tissue contouring, smile designing and tooth replacement.

• One of the most intense courses was a hands-on program instructed by Dr. Larry Rosenthal, an internationally renowned cosmetic dentist.

According to Dr. Dunayer, “It gave me the ability to ‘see’ the patient’s completed and beautiful smile before I started.”

“We’re also proud to be an amalgam free practice-no silver fillings.” Dr. Bill Dickerson of the internationally acclaimed Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies introduced Dr. Dunayer to the health and esthetic values of using composite (white) restorations instead of metal. The course work with Dr. Dickerson has benefited many of Dr. Dunayer’s patients.

Dr. Dunayer says, “We now have something in between a crown and a filling for restoring back teeth. Porcelain inlays and onlays offer natural beauty, reduce the need for tooth reduction, and provide superior strength. Patients have so many great options today!”

• He has many hours of continuing education courses at NYU in anterior (front teeth) esthetics.

• Additionally, he has studied with Dr. Jeffrey Golub, a national expert in direct bonding. Direct bonding is a freehand, artistic method of shaping teeth to refashion them after chipping or to widen or lengthen teeth for cosmetic enhancement.

• He has completed a comprehensive course in soft-tissue laser therapy. He uses a diode laser to sculpt and reshape gummy smiles. It is a modern method that is less stressful for patients.

• As a general member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a prestigious international organization, he keeps up to date with the art and science of modern dentistry.

• Finally, he participated in a one year residency in 1986 at a dental practice run by University of Pennsylvania treating the faculty and staff. As chief resident, his emphasis was cosmetic dentistry and tooth reconstruction.

Dr. Dunayer has over 300 hours of advanced training in implant dentistry to insure you will be receiving the latest, most effective treatments. When introduced to implants in 1983, he saw how patients were going to benefit tremendously from this treatment.

Now, with his ability to greatly increase function for patients with restorations that can last 25 years or more, he believes implant treatment is the perfect solution for patients with missing teeth. Furthermore, Dr. Dunayer’s skill in esthetics means he can create implant restorations that mimic the look of a natural tooth.

Dr. Dunayer’s continuing education in advanced implant placement and esthetics includes:

• Two weekend courses on implants – This advanced training involved 60 hours of hands-on participation and lecture instruction.

• Rockland Implant Study Group – This involves regular meetings with area dentists interested in improving their knowledge and skill in implant dentistry.

• Synergy Implant Training: Sponsored By 3I Implants – It is a monthly implant study group. He sees and evaluates 15 patient cases each month – treatment planning them from start to finish – looking at all the different options including esthetics and placement.

• In 1983 he participated in a six week ‘externship’ in implants at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn. He worked eight and up to 24 hours a day when on call.
