We are pleased to announce that our office will resume providing regular dental care on May 26. Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. Dr. Rasner and Lipski have throughly reviewed numerous sources from the ADA and CDC to protect our patients and our staff. You will clearly notice changes from the first phone call through your return visit.

We have had the opportunity to practice and refine the new protocols with staff and even some patients over the past few weeks. We know you have many concerns as the result of the pandemic. Our primary goal is to keep your oral health needs to a minimum during these challenging times. The best way to accomplish that is resume your oral health care as soon as that is comfortable for you.

'Dental makeovers have become more common, less invasive, and more effective in correcting deformities and cosmetic dental problems. The effect of these procedures can be nothing short of dramatic both in terms of appearance and also in terms of correcting, at least partially, personality deficiencies caused by poor self-image. Ugly teeth are no longer a matter of fate; they are now a matter of choice.' -Steven L. Rasner, DMD, MAGD

Kind, Gentle Dentist Patients who haven't seen a dentist in years because of long-held fears of pain find relief after seeing Dr. Steven Rasner, a dentist with a knack for calming the most phobic patients. Dr. Rasner can safely sedate patients who have avoided going to the dentist for too long. Often at the point of desperation, these patients have allowed their smiles to deteriorate because of their anxiety. After swallowing a pill under strictly guided conditions, they fall into a relaxed state, and Dr. Rasner can work on their long overdue dentistry. When the sedation wears off, they remember little of the experience, but appreciate their newly restored smile and ability to chew again without pain. That is why patients from all over the world chose to come to Dr. Rasner. He currently has patients from 21 states and from Europe.
