Dentistry has always been an important part of my life.My father is a retired dentist and as a child I saw how his patients were like family.I used to go to his office after school to do my homework.He hummed happily whiled he worked and brought a unique brand of magic to his office.
I left Iran as a young nine year old to escape persecution.We left everything behind.To help out with family expenses I was a math and literacy tutor after school and I experienced first-hand the joys of helping others.I remember a teenage girl who was pregnant and couldnt read and I was determined to get her reading before the baby was born.And we did it!I remember the RELIEF I felt knowing she could read ingredients on baby food jars and labels for baby medicines.
I graduated from UCLA dental school and then pursued specialty training in Periodontics and Oral Medicine at Harvard. There, I also became a Doctor of Medical Sciences in Oral Biology where I conducted NIH-funded research at Brigham and Womens Hospital in the areas of oral cancer and periodontal disease. I was a fully funded NIH grant recipient and was the first student to complete two specialties and a Doctorate degree in a four year accelerated program. I was also the first person in my family to graduate from Harvard, which made my parents very proud. I am so grateful to America for the opportunity to attend a leading institution.
My experiences in the Harvard hospitals and medical clinics and providing care for medically complex patients needing oral care have fostered my integrative and health-oriented approach to treating oral diseases. I have observed first-hand the important role that oral health plays in overall health. I am very comfortable treating patients with illnesses like cancer, diabetes and heart disease and they trust me to help them become healthier. I wholeheartedly agree with the American Surgeon General that a healthy mouth is an important part of a persons overall health.
In our modern society gum disease is no longer just about brushing and flossing. So many patients come to me feeling frustrated about their constant struggles with their teeth. They can not understand why they are losing their teeth and having problems with their dental implants. They also might have TMJ pain and headaches that are interfering with their lives and they dont know why. If you have any of these symptoms, there is hope. Because of my extensive background and training, I have answers to your questions!
I will do a deep dive into the modern day causes of gum disease that go beyond brushing and flossing. I will look into your sleep, diet, whether you are mouth breathing or if you are having any gut issues. I also want to know what your Vitamin D levels are. Vitamin D is an important bone and tooth hormone. It is often overlooked that low levels can cause gum disease and tooth decay and loss of dental implants. The Microbiome is also an important ingredient in keeping natural teeth. If we lose our healthy gut Microbiome from a poor diet, our oral Microbiome can be impacted as well, leading to overgrowth of disease- causing germs in our mouth.
In my practice I use the latest technologies like lasers and minimally invasive techniques to offer a comfortable experience for the treatment of gum diseases. It is common to feel anxious about procedures. I love converting the anxious patient into a lifelong fan with surgeries that dont hurt and TLC from the moment you walk in. For me its always been about being a quality doctor who cares about serving others.
For true transformational health my goal is to integrate oral health with your overall well being. My services therefore include nutritional counseling to optimize the Microbiome, myofunctional therapy to tone the muscles for nose breathing and a healthy swallow, and helping you get the deep restorative sleep we all need to have a strong immune system and be pain-free.
And while dental implants are the best replacement for missing teeth, my goal is to always save natural teeth whenever possible. If you are having a problem with an existing dental implant, I will try to save your implant. Because I understand that its not easy starting all over again.

Dr. Dayan is the best periodontist in Beverly Hills hands down. I am so lucky to have found Dr. Dayan. She is knowledgeable, kind and always puts her patients care first. I came in because my gums were bleeding and puffy. She first did a comprehensive examination of my gums and then recommended to me a laser disinfection that we did in the following appointment. Her laser targets the wavelengths of dark bacteria in your mouth to leave the healthy bacteria intact and leave you with bright pink healthy gums! I go back for my routine cleanings every 6 months with Dr. Dayan and I have never been more satisfied. No one pays as much attention to detail as Dr. Dayan and I know that I am in good hands when I go to Aurora Periodontal Care. Also, the staff is super friendly and communicative to make sure I was ready to go for my appointment.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Dayan for several years and can confidently say she's the very best. She's technically skilled, caring, honest and spends lots of time discussing treatment options. I'd recommend her highly.

Dr. Dayan is amazing! She helped me with my tongue and lip ties and my gum recession. All of them healed so well and I'm very happy with the result. She was so kind and comforting throughout the entire process and it was easy to trust her. I definitely recommend her!!!

Dr. Dayan's demeanor, skill and knowledge set my mind at ease and calmed my fears of the procedure. She was methodical and answered my questions. She also took the time to follow up and make sure I had no concerns after the procedure. A true professional.

Dr. Dayan is one of the kindest, most supportive people I've had the pleasure of meeting. I came to her with some severe gum recession on my bottom teeth. She connected me with a dentist and a myofunctional therapist who have helped me perfect my gum health in preparation for Dr. Dayan's surgery. While my surgery was postponed due to Covid, I remain in touch with Dr. Dayan and appreciate her constant check-ins. She clearly cares deeply about each and every patient.

Dr. Dayan is the best dentist that I've ever been to. She is highly educated and carries herself with empathy, compassion and excellence. She takes a look at the whole patient and was able to refer me to get definitive treatment for my TMJ pain and chronic headaches that I have been dealing with for over a decade. I would recommend her to all my closest friends and family.

I am a root canal specialist and I have collaborated with Dr Dayan on many cases. Her patients get a special care that is her signature. I would feel comfortable entrusting even the most discerning patient to her hands.

Dr. Dayan is just the best. She cares about her patients and really makes you feel comfortable about going to the dentist or having oral work done--even though I really hate going to the dentist! Thank you so much Dr Dayan--you make me smile and now it's a gorgeous smile!

Dr. Dayan at Aurora Periodontal Care has a brilliant approach to dentistry and periodontics. She is all about general oral health and keeping your teeth for as long as you can--refreshing when it seems like so many others are quick to offer implants, especially in Beverly Hills. Her education speaks for itself; 2 degrees from UCLA and 3 from Harvard would make anyone else feel inferior, but Dr. Dayan's warm persona and happy attitude makes you feel great and instantly at ease. She performed a laser disinfection on my gums, and by the next day the puffiness, swelling and bleeding had all gone. My gums never looked so clean! Thanks, Dr. Dayan.

I consider myself the most fortunate person in the world to have Dr. Sharona Dayan as my periodontist. I can attest to this based on the twenty years since she completed her doctorate at Harvard. I owe still having my front top tooth to her incredible skills which other dentists couldn't save but she fought on my behalf and won. On top of her successfully dealing with even the most difficult dental problems I was at first a very nervous patient but due to everything about the office (expertise, experience, caring environment) I became totally at ease.
