History
Established in 2012.

While working at various dental offices, Dr. Michelle Katz and her husband, Dr. Jeffrey Rappaport found that many people enjoy having their teeth cleaned, but the overall perception of a visit to the dentist's office is quite negative. They decided that the only way to change the way people view dental hygiene is to change the way people experience it. Following the success of niche businesses, the couple decided to create a dental business that specializes in whitening and cleaning only. No drills, no needles, no stress - just clean, white smiles in a relaxing, spa-like environment. Dedicated to providing luxury dental services at an affordable price, Lavaan is the perfect destination for people looking to have their teeth cleaned before a big upcoming event, before a date or for their own well-being. Lavaan offers cleanings for $89 (much less than a regular dentist office) and whitening treatments between $295-$395.
