Dr. Gil Asafrana

Dr. Gil Asafrana is not just a dentist and a prosthodontist, rather sort of an artist in his field, a dentistry architect. He founded his private clinic in 2000, and the multidisciplinary clinic is a hub for dentistry specialists who work shoulder to shoulder, experts in their diverse fields, which include maxillo-facial surgery, root canal treatments, prosthodontics and oral aesthetics and traditional and preventive dentistry.

A Clinic of Experts

The fact is that only 9% of Israeli dentists have also a specialist license, which indicates that they completed a dedicated academic specialization after they completed their general dentistry studies. Thus, a private clinic which brings together experts with distinct specializations stands out in the Israeli dentistry industry. Furthermore, the clinic works with dental technicians who are considered to be prominent figures in their respective fields, so that the clinic’s patients benefit from the best service and products which are available in the industry.
The clinic’s team accompanies the patients across all of the treatment’s stages, starting from the treatment plan which is executed through the most advanced digital techniques (such as 3D scanning) and up to treatment of the highest level which is assisted by preliminary planning and 3D imaging. The product of this structured process is a highly accurate and aesthetical treatment with minimal pain and discomfort for the patients.

Technological Cutting-Edge in the Field of Dentistry

Asafrana, a skilled and experienced dentist, has an exuberance and optimism which radiates to all of the clinic’s visitors and employees. He graduated from the Dentistry School of Tel Aviv University, and underwent an additional specialization in prosthodontics. His interest in technology has sparked already during his student years, and he even served as an executive in a start-up company. Owing to the vast technological knowledge that he accumulated, he was recognized already during the first years of his career by several international companies, which started forming various cooperations with him and his clinic, positioning the clinic at the technological cutting-edge of the field of dentistry in Israel. In 2006, he founded the Oral Rehabilitation Unit of the Bellinson Hospital, where comprehensive oral-maxillo-facial rehabilitation is carried out, and is currently considered to be the most senior doctor in his field in this leading medical center.

Micron-Level Accuracy

Just like all other aspects of our life become more digital and technological, so does medicine in general and dentistry in particular. As an expert and technology authority, Dr. Asafrana specializes in designing implants in the most accurate manner possible, via 3D digital technologies, and is one of Israel’s pioneers in this field. In light of his vast experience and the leadership status that he acquired in this field, he is currently a board member of the international implants company Paltop Keystone, and he also accompanies and consults startup companies that develop augmented reality products for the dentistry industry. The consulting and assistance cover the entire R&D process – planning, design and execution, and the Asafrana Clinic has always revolved around innovation, progress and digitalization. Dr. Asafrana says that digitalization enables today’s dental practitioners to plan the entire treatment in advance through advanced computerized tools – so that the location of the implants, the preparation of the teeth and even the generation of the crowns themselves are completely controlled by the dentist and at a perfect micron-level accuracy.

An Authority in the Prosthodontics Field in Israel and Globally

In addition to his ongoing work at his clinic, Dr. Asafrana is considered to be a popular lecturer in Israel and abroad and is a member of several prestigious international organizations such as the International Congress of Dental Implantologists (ICOI), the European Digital Dentistry Society (DDS), the European Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (EAED) and more. In addition, he has been serving as chairperson of the Israel Society of Prosthodontics. The lectures that Dr. Asafrana delivers to his colleagues overseas, while reviewing the cases that he treated, enable him to receive professional feedback and various practical perspectives, which are expressed in a higher level of professionalism and maximal accuracy levels that approach perfection. The clinic’s team includes 5 dentists who work alongside certified dental nurses, dental assistants and secretaries, and it should be noted that most of the team members have been working together for more than 10 years, creating an optimal cooperation between the various professionals and dentists.

Pro Bono Treatments

Led by Dr. Asafrana, the clinic provides several pro bono treatments every year. Among other, the clinic provided pro bono treatments to patients with intellectual disabilities, to a woman who served as a caretaker for autistic persons and broke her teeth due to blunt trauma, and a woman who was evicted from the Gaza Envelope area with a severe dental situation. The most famous person who was treated by the clinic was Shira Isakov, who survived an attempted murder from her husband, and received a comprehensive and devoted pro bono treatment from the clinic’s team, including a complete oral-maxillofacial rehabilitation.
