Gentle Touch Endodontics

Gentle Touch Endodontics is a specialized dental clinic located in Williston Park, NY, and led by Dr. Lyubov (Luba) Borukhova, DDS. The practice is dedicated to providing high-quality endodontic care with a strong emphasis on a gentle, compassionate, and patient-centered approach. Dr. Borukhova, who holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Columbia University and a Post-Doctoral Degree in Endodontics from Stony Brook University, focuses on treating the patient as a whole, not just the tooth. Her philosophy integrates her passion for healing with her expertise in dentistry, creating a calm and supportive environment for patients. The clinic offers a range of endodontic services, including root canal therapy, endodontic surgery, and treatment for cracked teeth and tooth resorption. They are committed to using advanced technology to enhance both the accuracy of diagnosis and the comfort of treatment. Key technologies utilized at Gentle Touch Endodontics include the GentleWave® Procedure, a state-of-the-art alternative to traditional root canals that uses fluid dynamics and sound waves for a more thorough and minimally invasive cleaning. The clinic also employs surgical operating microscopes from Carl Zeiss for superior magnification and illumination, and 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging for precise, three-dimensional visualization of teeth and surrounding structures with minimal radiation exposure. Additionally, they use digital radiography to reduce patient exposure and TDO Software for a paperless and efficient patient record management system, which also allows for secure communication with referring dentists. The team at Gentle Touch Endodontics, including the office manager Jenn and assistant Mariana, is committed to making the patient experience seamless and stress-free. They prioritize patient comfort, trust, and peace of mind, aiming to change the common perception of root canal treatments as being painful or intimidating. Dr. Borukhova's approach, which incorporates practices like reiki, tai chi, qigong, and meditation, is designed to promote not just dental health, but also overall well-being.
