She won the California Society of Periodontology Award for her outstanding surgical skills. Dr. Hanookai is known for her excellent use of sedation dentistry with which she helps patients relax through their appointments. They simply go to sleep and wake up, and the procedure or treatment is completed. With her advanced laser dentistry skills, Dr. Hanookai can change the shape and look of gums in just a few minutes with very little discomfort. Laser dentistry often eliminates the need for sutures and does not require anesthesia.
