As a third generation dentist, I feel as though this profession is in my blood. It is my goal as a dentist to create a beautiful smile for each patient I meet, improving their confidence and allowing them to have a better quality of life. Educating patients about the importance of dental care excites me the most, especially when I see the progress a patient makes because of what theyve learned in our office. Whenever I can alleviate pain or fear in the life of a patient, I know Ive done my job successfully.
I began my dental education in Riga, Latvia, before moving to the United States and attending UCLA for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Since completing my formal education, I have continued to expand my knowledge through participation in continuing education. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide my patients with more options, shorter treatment times, and better results.
I have been a proud member of the Lafayette, CA, community for the past 20 years. My wife and I have three grown children, but our nest is not empty. Our two dogs, cat, and four finches keep us plenty busy. When I have free time, I enjoy swimming, running, camping, and walking my dogs. I also have a great appreciation for art.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.

Dr. Drabkin has been my Dentist for many years. I personally would not continue going to Dr. Drabkin if I didn't have complete faith in him and his work. The staff is very warm and attune to your needs and has the capability of making you feel at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Drabkin to family and friends and I would feel totally confident in doing so.

Have you ever had thoes crumbling teeth nightmares! I've ever only had 2 other dentists in my 59 years of life. Insurance change caused me to find a new one. Who could I trust to care for my teeth? That was my 1 year concern. A trusted friend recommended me to Dr Drabkin. To my great relief, I was greeted by his staff that showed genuine concern in setting my mind ease. His assistant is most gentle and made sure I was comfortable. Dr came in with a twinkle in his eyes an told me everything looks great. What a relief. No more teeth nightmares. Thank you all for an incredibly awesome experience. Alicia

Yes. I Went in with a tooth ache, and scared (haven't been to the dentist in years) , came out an ounce lighter and a wisdom tooth out. It was painless and even throughout the day, just felt my jaw sore, and not bad. Like I've been smiling a ridiculous amount, sore. They know how to make got comfortable and make it a good experience. I'll be back and highly recommend this place

Doctor Drabkin is a considerate, professional dentist who gives attention to detail in his dentistry work and to the emotional needs of his patients.

I never really enjoyed going to the dentist until I was referred to Dr. Drabkin by a coworker. I decided to go and can honestly say I wish I had known about him and his office sooner. The staff is so kind and fun! I've had a lot of work done here. They have completely transformed my smile. I strongly recommend making an appointment.
