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.

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.
