Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening using custom-made, removable aligners. This treatment gradually shifts teeth into optimal positions without traditional brackets. Patients appreciate the aesthetic benefits and convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning.
Veneers
Veneers provide transformative smile enhancements through thin porcelain shells bonded to tooth fronts. They address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment while maintaining natural tooth structure. Our artistic application ensures seamless, long-lasting results.
CEREC Crowns
CEREC technology enables precision crowns created and placed in one visit. Digital impressions eliminate messy molds while 3D milling produces durable ceramic restorations. This streamlines treatment for damaged or weakened teeth.
Oral Microbiome Testing
This diagnostic test analyzes saliva to identify oral bacterial imbalances affecting systemic health. Results guide personalized preventive strategies, connecting oral health to conditions like heart disease and diabetes through targeted interventions.
Sleep Apnea Solutions
Custom oral appliances address sleep-disordered breathing by maintaining airway patency during sleep. These comfortable devices reduce snoring and mitigate health risks associated with untreated sleep apnea through non-invasive means.

I've been seeing Dr. Israel for years. Truly an excellent experience in every way. If your appointment is at 2pm, you go in at 1:55 and are seen by the doctor pretty much as soon as you're in the chair. He and his fantastic assistant, Vicki, take care of your needs in a kind, compassionate, and professional manner, and you're out. He doesn't jostle several patients at the exact same time. Everything he can handle in house, he does; but if you need specialist work he sends you to the very best - so in other words, he knows his field of expertise and makes sure that if there's somebody who can do a better job with wisdom tooth extraction or a root canal, then you're seeing that person right away.

The hygienists, front desk, and all other staff are likewise exceptional. There really is nothing lacking in their services for general dentistry from basic exams, cleanings, and fillings, etc. to teeth whitening, Invisalign, crowns/caps and I'm sure a whole slew of other services. Also, Dr Israel is a firm believer in using the latest and best technology to ensure your premier experience. The mans been doing this for three decades and every aspect of his work manifests that.

I Love this dental office. Dr. Israel helped fix my smile. I had Invisalign for almost 2 years and he patiently listened to my concerns, and allowed me to continue with the Invisalign till I was completely happy with my smile. Christina my hygienist is amazing as well, she is gentle with cleanings and informative with my oral hygiene. I love this office, everyone is professional and always gets back to me with any questions I have in a timely manner. I Highly recommend Best Natural Smile for any dental care.

Dr Israel has been caring for me and my family for over 25 years. He is an amazing clinician and has a great bedside manner. Vicki, one of his long time assistants, held my hand when I had my four wisdom teeth extracted many years ago. She is still at the office, always greeting me with a friendly smile. Christina, my hygienist, is one of a kind. She is warm, gentle and is meticulous with her work. Hilarie, the office manager, excels at customer service. You won't find a better dental office than Best Natural Smile!
