Even the Dalai Lama thanked Dr. Uri Zilberman
Dr. Zilberman is not only an innovative dentist – he also has a heart of gold and a special soul. A human being in the fullest sense of the world.
Dr. Zilberman volunteered for a month and a half treating needy children in Tibet. He is perhaps the only dentist in Israel who closed his clinic and went into the community to contribute. He personally met the Dalai Lama, who thanked him for his generous spirit and soul, and brought tremendous honor to Israel."

Dr. Uri Zilberman – Brought Progress to Israel
Dr. Uri Zilberman, one of the most veteran doctors in Eilat (over 24 years), with extensive experience of thousands of implants, specialized in the most cutting-edge implant methods in the world and is successfully applying them in Israel.
The innovative method is computerized and guarantees implants and permanent restorations within one hour! People with dentures, and people who need to have all (or some) of their teeth extracted, can return home with their new permanent teeth within hours.
Below is an excerpt from an interview conducted with Dr. Uri Zilberman from Yedioth Ahronot on 18.11.07
Dentist Dr. Uri Zilberman explains how the computerized method works: "The patient arrives at the dental clinic. The dentist removes the patient's dentures from his mouth and performs a CT scan on it as well as on the jaw. The computer quantifies the results of the two scans and 'places' the denture on the screen on a simulated jaw. The dentist observes the screen and determines the optimal position for the implants, which will be drilled into the jawbone through the dentures in order to affix them.
After the dentist determined the location of the implants with the help of the computer, the computerized scan is sent to the implant company in Sweden, where technicians there impose the scan onto a template. The dentist in Israel receives a precise template that was built from the patient's data – a denture with four to six holes designated for the implants (screws). In the next stage, the dentist affixes the denture with the implants onto the gums.
"The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, and during which the doctor 'dresses' the template onto the jaw, and uses the implants to affix them to the jaw,"
Another innovation of the new method is that the implants are fixed to the jaw diagonally. Until recently, the dental community widely believed that implants had to be inserted straight rather than diagonal because the latter would create too much strain and would cause the implant to fail. Experience that has been accumulated to date regarding the new method has caused doctors to understand that they erred in their basic assumption.
The new method spares the need to open up the gums. When discussing the upper jaw, the new method also spares the need to lift the sinus, and all that entails.
Forty-year-old Mazal is one of them. "I underwent an oral reconstruction that included the insertion of implants into both jaws but the procedure failed and all of my teeth had to be extracted," she says. "For three years, I was walking around with dentures and it was hell. I then heard about the new method and arrived at Dr. Zilberman. Today, I am absolutely happy."
