“We’re offering 50 percent off full mouth whitening …”

Havasu Dental Center, the new dental office in Lake Havasu City, is bringing in 2017 on a positive note with their White Smile campaign. It’s a great reason to go and see the new, fully remodeled dental office in Lake Havasu City.

“We’re starting the new year with our White Smile campaign,” Dr. Ilan Shamos, owner of Havasu Dental Center, said. “We’re offering 50 percent off full mouth whitening for new and existing patients to kick off the new year with a new and dazzling smile.”

With teeth whitening procedures usually costing $350, Havasu Dental Center is offering it for only $175 during the month of February. Dr. Shamos said, “It’s more than just whitening. Our whitening procedure not only produces a whiter smile, but healthier, stronger teeth.”

While at Havasu Dental Center, their dedicated staff – including the front desk receptionists, the dental hygienists, the dental assistants, and the doctors – all focus on providing exceptional patient care.

“Our patient care is really the distinguishing aspect of our office,” Dr. Shamos said. “We are very patient-focused and we put your health first. We do all that we can to be there for our patients. If you call our office after hours, you reach my cell phone. It’s not an answering machine that will be checked after the weekend. We also do same-day emergencies, if it hurts that day, no matter how busy we are we’ll get you in and help you.”

Dr. Ilan Shamos, 33, was born and raised in Phoenix and moved to Havasu in 2013 with his wife, Bekky. His education background is well-rounded with business, pre-med, and a Master’s Degree in Public Health. However, it’s dentistry that calls to him.

“It’s the ability to blend healthcare with art,” Shamos said of dentistry. “I also love being able to see my patients year after year.”

Dr. Shamos partners with Dr. Carlos Ruiz in Lake Havasu City.

Dr. Shamos purchased the building in which they are currently located, and completely renovated it this past summer. The project was completed in August of 2016 and they started seeing patients that month.

The office blends state-of-the-art technology with dentistry. Havasu Dental Center’s 3D cone-beam X-ray machine emits very low-dose radiation.

“It’s actually quite impressive,” Dr. Shamos said. “It exposes a patient to only 1/20^th the radiation of traditional fan CT scanners found in hospitals,” Dr. Shamos said.

The X-rays are digital too, which further reduces radiation exposure.

“The radiation you’re exposed to from dental x-ray is the equivalent of eating three bananas,” Dr. Shamos said.

To add to the comfort of patients, there is no fluorescent lighting, and a flat-screen TV is mounted on the ceiling above each dental-exam chair to make appointments.

Havasu Dental Center also has an onsite denture lab. They offer on-site denture repairs and relines. They can even offer a full set of custom dentures that can be created in about a week. By industry standard, the normal return time can take up to a month.

Dental services they offer include check-up exams, extractions, implants, fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, periodontal deep cleanings, periodic cleanings and in-office whitening. They’re always accepting new patients.

Havasu Dental Center is at 2872 S. Jamaica Blvd., in Havasu. For more information, visit www.HavasuDentalCenter.com, or call 928-733-6199 to schedule an appointment.
