| "We've been patients of Dr. Reifman since he
established his practice. He has diligently and enthusiastically kept up with
advances in the dental field. He not only has the skill to take on new and
approved methods but also has the understanding of the mechanics behind the
scientific treatments. A combination of an engineering degree, combined with his
dental school education truly makes Dr. Reifman unique in his field. We feel
lucky to have him as our family dentist." Joe and Shirley F. - Beverly Hills,

From a High-Tech Engineering Background... |
Dr. Edward M. Reifman is a native of Los Angeles, California. He received his
undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1971 from UCLA, and a M.S. in
Biomedical Engineering shortly thereafter at UCLA. Dr. Reifman graduated Magna
Cum Laude (high honors). For the next two years, he worked at Hughes Aircraft
Co. in the mechanical design of the first communications satellites to encircle
the Earth. These 'artificial moons' as they were called then, were the
forerunners of our current crop of earth-orbiting satellites, which now bounce
daily signals to earth for TV viewing, radio, global satellite positioning
(GPS), and the internet.
...To Leading-Edge Dental Care |
In 1974, Dr. Reifman applied to and was accepted to the UCLA School of
Dentistry, where he matriculated with a DDS degree in 1978. He did a summer
research project on the mechanics of chewing forces, and their effect on the TMJ
(jaw joint). He also did important research on the longevity of various dental
materials. Upon graduation, Dr. Reifman received an honorary fellowship where he
worked for a world renown dental professor in Europe for six months. Upon
returning to Los Angeles in 1979, he set up his current private practice in
Encino, California. Dr. Reifman continues with the latest in the field of
high-tech dental care. He uses a laser to detect cavities before they are even
seen on x-rays (and therefore easier to take care of before the cavity gets
worse and starts hurting). A tiny camera will magnify cracked or decayed, or
chipped teeth 25-fold, which the patient can view on TV to really see with the
dentist where the problem is.
Dr. Reifman utilizes the latest in safely removing old mercury-containing
fillings, such as using a dental rubber dam with high velocity suction, and
replacing them with highly curable, nano-bonded, white restorations. Treatment
of jaw pain with the new NTI night guard, and the non-surgical treatment of
loose teeth and gum disease are also statements of his cutting-edge dental care.
Moreover, Dr. Reifman is using innovative micro-burrs, where injections are not
even necessary! State-of-the-art dental care, with a gentle touch- that's what
Dr. Reifman and his office is all about.

Dr. Reifman and Dental Nanotechnology |
| Dr. Reifman
has been and is currently a member of numerous dental societies and
associations. He has been prominently quoted and his picture displayed
in Scientific American magazine (1994) in an article on “Nanotechnology”
(the science of manipulating matter, one atom at a time). He has also
written an internationally-acclaimed chapter entitled "Dentistry in the
year 2020" in the best-selling technical science book: Nanotechnology:

His ‘Visions of the Future: A Timeline of Scientific Events for the next 30
years’ has been published in Nanotechnology Magazine. Dr. Reifman has also been
interviewed on television about the following: "How nanotechnology and science
will impact our culture", and "The future of dental care in the United States."
Dr. Reifman's interests beyond high-tech dental care include: volleyball, river rafting, nanotechnology, jogging,
anti-aging research, and astronomy. For
