Without question, he is passionate about educating his patients regarding their oral health, as well as how to keep their teeth and smile vibrant and strong for years to come. In a nutshell, Dr. Abraham loves helping people
“I enjoy getting to know each of my patients and learning about their lives,” he says. “Hearing about a person’s hobbies, interests and lifestyle gives me insight into dental care options that will work for their specific situation.”
Dr. Abraham takes a personalized approach to dental care with each patient. Whether he is offering advanced preventive care, restorative work, conservative cosmetic dentistry or complex aesthetic care, his attention is always attuned to patient’s unique needs and goals. With a practice that specializes in providing general, restorative, cosmetic, and periodontal dental treatments, as well as several sleep dentistry options, Dr. Abraham treats patients of all ages. For those wanting to enhance the aesthetic appearance of their smiles, Dr. Abraham offers smile makeovers, dental bonding, veneers, teeth whitening, and Invisalign. As a part of restorative dentistry, he performs full-mouth reconstruction, tooth extractions, root canal therapy, and the placement of dental implants. Additionally, Dr. Abraham provides treatment for periodontal disease and offers oral appliance therapy as a part of sleep/breathing disorders treatment plans.
Throughout his 15-plus year career, Dr. Abraham has developed a special interest in helping people with sleep apnea and TMJ problems that led him to pursue and complete a part-time residency at the UCLA School of Dentistry in the specialty area of Dental Sleep Medicine and Orofacial Pain and TMJ Dysfunction.
The treatment option is an oral appliance therapy. Based on specific circumstances, oral appliance therapy can be the ultimate solution for managing snoring and sleep apnea.
A perfectionist by nature, Dr. Abraham continually challenges himself to stay current with the latest technology, training and trends in dentistry to provide the best treatment. Currently, Dr. Abraham has research published through the University of Minnesota Dental School regarding an improved bonding strength for fillings. “For me dentistry is the perfect combination of art and science. I’m passionate about using those two approaches in helping my patients attain and maintain a dazzling and healthy smile.”
