Los Angeles Dentist Blends Dentistry With Comfort
Fear of going to a dentist has become so common among the general publicthat it even has its own official moniker; “dentophobia”. For years Dr. Igal Elyassi has made it his purpose to prevent the feeling of fear that comes along with a visit to the dentist’s office. Dr. Elyassi is an Los Angeles-based dentist who founded Wilshire Smile Studio and has made it his purpose to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment for patients.
He describes his practice, Wilshire Smile Studio in Hollywood near Beverly Hills, as a top “multi-specialty dental group in the L.A. area,”able to provide virtually almost every oral health treatment needed to minimize having to refer to other practices.”
And you can expect an efficient and virtually painless experience. Dr. Elyassi shares the difference as “it’s very personable care because you’re working in people’s mouths, so make sure to give the patient top quality dentistry while making them comfortable.” Dr. Elyassi has built a team of talented practitioners who conduct dental care to the highest degree of excellence, from the most effective dental hygienists who can prevent periodontal infections to a top oral surgeon.
A Blend of Art and Science
Dr. Elyassi recognized his purpose when he had several of his own bad experiences in dentistry when he was young.
“Dentistry is a blend of art and science that can transform people’s lives. I personally had some negative experiences as a kid, so I took the challenge to help people have great smiles. I also love to be able to help patients stop being in pain from their dental problems.”
Because of his passion for his patients, Dr. Elyassi has created a flourishing and compassionate institution.
Commitment to Comfort and Safety
“We have a beautiful view from our office. It’s very inviting. It’s not a small, claustrophobic room like so many,” he said. “It’s also a matter of working with the patient. A bottle of water, a coffee, and trying to run your business smoothly, unlike at so many other practices.”
While waiting, patients can read magazines, learn about cosmetic dentistry options from books, or listen to their favorite podcasts with earphones. When in the dental chair, they can receive treatments while watching movies or listening to music.
