A dentist for people who dread the dentist
Dr. Nahel Yanni has run his own practice in New Jersey since 2003, and today he sees families on Cranbury Road in East Brunswick. If you've been putting it off for years, you won't be the first: he'll talk you through every step, and sedation is here if you need it.
Open six days a week, Saturdays 9 am to 2 pm. 385 Cranbury Rd, East Brunswick, NJ.
“As one who is terrified of dentists, Dr. Yanni has completely cured me of that.”
Diane, a patient. “I would recommend him to anyone and especially those ‘scaredy cats’ like me.”
Nervous? Start with how comfortable you want to be.
Many of our patients came to us after years away from the dentist. Dr. Yanni explains what you need before anything starts, and you choose how relaxed you'd like to be. Sedation also helps when a treatment is long, or when you'd rather get several things done in one visit.
-
Laughing gas
Nitrous oxide and oxygen through a small mask while you're treated. The most common way to take the edge off dental anxiety.
-
A calming pill
An oral sedative taken before your appointment. For strong anxiety, Dr. Yanni can prescribe one for the night before, too, so you sleep.
-
IV sedation
Medication given directly into the bloodstream: a very safe, effective way to manage moderate to severe anxiety, right here in the office.
Everything your family needs, in one office
From a child's first checkup to replacing a full arch of teeth, the same practice sees it through, so you're not sent somewhere new halfway.
Checkups & cleanings
Exams, X-rays, cleanings, fluoride and sealants for children and adults, and oral cancer exams.
Dental implants
One missing tooth, several, or a full arch. Implants can also hold a loose denture firmly in place.
Fillings & crowns
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns (same-day crowns too), bridges, dentures and partials, and root canal therapy.
Gum care
Diagnosis, treatment and ongoing maintenance for periodontal (gum) disease.
Cosmetic
Teeth whitening, and Invisalign clear aligners from a certified Invisalign provider.
TMJ & migraines
Relief for jaw tension, clenching and grinding, including Botox treatment for TMJ-related headaches.
Meet Dr. Nahel Yanni
Dr. Yanni first qualified in Cairo, practiced for three years in Egypt, then earned his DDS at the University of Southern California. In December 2003 he acquired his own practice in New Jersey, and he has kept training ever since, above all in implant dentistry.
Patients describe him the same way, again and again: gentle, honest, and with a sense of humor. “It's not often you can laugh while at a dentist's office,” one wrote.
Every year Dr. Yanni spends two weeks treating orphaned children at the Kampala Children's Center in Uganda. He has cared for more than 100 children there.

In our patients' words
“Dr. Yanni inserted four implants, I no longer have to use the adhesive and the denture stays in place. It's a big improvement from just plain dentures and the procedure was painless.”
“I recently had a root canal and not only was there no pain, but I went to work right afterward with NO problems.”
“I've been coming here and because of my good experiences, my husband, son, and grandson now come here and feel the same way I do about you.”
“I belong to the so-called ‘senior group’ which means I can compare past experiences. Here, I always leave with a smile that I was so well taken care of.”
“My three children (ages 11, 8 and 4) LOVE coming to the dentist and rave about how nice everyone is.”
“I have had several bad dental visits with others and you gave me the guts to continue my visits here in your office.”
