Dr. Inna Shimanovsky is a highly skilled and experienced dentist at the forefront of integrating holistic principles into dental care. At AAdvanced Dental in Oregon City, her practice stands out for family and cosmetic dental care specializing in treatments that are mercury-free, non-toxic, and biologically safe for patients and the environment.
Professional Background:
Inna’s professional journey began at Portland State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sciences in 1996. She then pursued and graduated with a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Oregon Health & Science University in 2000.
After working at various dental practices in the Portland area for 5 years Dr Shimanovsky purchased AAdvanced Dental, providing comprehensive dentistry, blending aesthetic excellence with holistic, patient-centered health practices, from a retiring dentist in 2005. Inna’s belief is that a high standard of care extends beyond simply addressing patients’ oral health but must align with their overall well-being.
Her practice’s approach is not only about treating dental issues but also about educating patients on the potential health implications of mercury and the benefits of choosing safer, more sustainable alternatives. This commitment is reflected in her choice of safe, biocompatible materials and her mercury-safe protocols.
AAdvanced Dental is grounded in a deep understanding of the risks associated with mercury (amalgam) fillings and the critical importance of their safe removal. They utilize advanced protocols to minimize mercury exposure during the removal of amalgam fillings to safeguard patients’ health.
In August 2010, AAdvanced Dental relocated to its current location at 1508 Washington Street in downtown Oregon City.
