Our Services
Comprehensive dental care from your trusted Novato dentist for every stage of your smile
Dental Implants
Missing teeth affect more than just your appearance – they compromise chewing function and can lead to jawbone deterioration over time. Our titanium implant posts integrate naturally with your bone structure, creating a stable foundation for beautiful, functional replacement teeth. Our Petaluma dentist provides comprehensive implant consultations, surgical placement, and custom restorations all within our advanced facility.
We begin your implant treatment with a thorough evaluation using our Kodak 9000 3D imaging system to assess bone density and plan optimal positioning. Rafii Dental Care performs the entire process in-house, from initial surgery to final crown placement, ensuring seamless coordination and faster healing. Our microscope-enhanced surgical techniques deliver precise results while our sedation options keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Oral Surgery
Complex dental conditions require specialized surgical expertise combined with advanced technology for optimal patient outcomes and comfort. We handle everything from wisdom tooth extractions to reconstructive jaw surgery using state-of-the-art equipment and proven techniques. Our Petaluma dentists provide comprehensive surgical care, including bone grafting, soft tissue procedures, and trauma reconstruction without requiring outside referrals.
Our surgical protocol starts with detailed 3D diagnostic imaging to develop precise treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. We utilize laser technology and microscopic precision instruments to minimize tissue trauma and promote faster healing. Rafii Dental Care offers multiple sedation levels and post-operative care coordination to ensure your complete comfort and successful recovery.
Crowns and Bridges
Severely damaged or missing teeth can be beautifully restored using our premium crown and bridge solutions crafted from durable, natural-looking materials. We offer same-day crown fabrication using digital scanning and milling technology, eliminating temporary restorations and multiple appointments. Our comprehensive restorative approach ensures your crowns and bridges blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while providing years of reliable function.
Each restoration begins with precise digital impressions and shade matching to create perfectly fitted, aesthetically pleasing results. Rafii Dental Care uses advanced ceramics and metal alloys selected for durability and biocompatibility with your oral tissues. Our Petaluma dentist combines artistic skill with technical precision to deliver restorations that enhance both your smile and bite function.
Emergency Dentistry
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, causing severe pain and anxiety that require immediate professional intervention. We provide urgent care for knocked-out teeth, severe infections, broken restorations, and traumatic injuries during our regular business hours. Our Petaluma dentist maintains emergency protocols and advanced diagnostic equipment to quickly assess and treat urgent dental conditions.
Our emergency response includes rapid pain relief, infection control, and temporary or permanent solutions to restore your oral health. Rafii Dental Care keeps emergency appointment slots available and provides after-hours contact information for guidance on severe conditions. We coordinate emergency care with follow-up treatments to ensure complete healing and prevent future complications.
Invisalign
Straighten your teeth discreetly with our advanced clear aligner system that gradually moves teeth into ideal positions without metal brackets or wires. These custom-fabricated aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and more comfortable than traditional orthodontic appliances. We provide complete Invisalign treatment planning, monitoring, and refinements to achieve your perfect smile alignment.
Treatment begins with 3D digital scanning to create your personalized aligner series and predict your final results before starting. Rafii Dental Care monitors your progress through regular check-ups and provides additional aligners as needed for optimal outcomes. Our Petaluma dentist ensures proper fit and tracking while coordinating Invisalign treatment with any other dental care you may need.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our comprehensive aesthetic treatments designed to address color, shape, size, and alignment concerns. We offer porcelain veneers, professional whitening systems, composite bonding, and complete smile makeovers using the latest materials and techniques. Our cosmetic approach considers your facial features, personality, and lifestyle to create natural-looking results that enhance your confidence.
Every cosmetic treatment starts with a detailed consultation, digital smile preview, and personalized treatment planning to achieve your aesthetic goals. Rafii Dental Care uses advanced shade matching, digital photography, and precise fabrication techniques for predictable, beautiful outcomes. Our Petaluma dentist combines technical expertise with aesthetic vision to deliver smile transformations that exceed your expectations.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Personalized Treatments For a Confident Smile
Your smile is one of the first things people notice, and at Rafii Dental Care, we specialize in creating smiles that are as unique as you are. Whether you’re looking to brighten, reshape, or completely transform your teeth, our cosmetic dentistry services are tailored to your goals. We partner with master ceramists to design natural, personalized restorations that enhance both aesthetics and function. From whitening and veneers to crowns and Invisalign, we combine artistry with advanced technology to deliver beautiful, lasting results.
Dental Implants
Feel And Function Like Natural Teeth
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. Regaining the ability to eat virtually anything, you can once again smile with confidence. The implants are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants are changing the way people live!

FAQs
How does your 3D imaging system work?
Our advanced Kodak 9000 3D imaging system captures detailed three-dimensional views of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding bone structures using cone beam computed tomography technology. This system provides comprehensive diagnostic information that traditional X-rays cannot show, including bone density, nerve pathways, and anatomical details crucial for procedures like dental implants and oral surgery. The 3D images help our Petaluma dentist plan treatments with unprecedented precision while using significantly less radiation than medical CT scans.
What are the benefits of laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry offers more precise, comfortable treatments for soft tissue procedures, including gum disease treatment, periodontal therapy, and cosmetic gum contouring. As your dedicated Petaluma dentist, our diode laser technology provides gentle disinfection and removal of diseased tissues with minimal bleeding, reduced swelling, and faster healing compared to traditional surgical methods. Many laser procedures require no local anesthesia and typically need fewer follow-up visits, making treatment more convenient and comfortable for patients.
How many procedures can be done in one sedation visit?
Our sedation dentistry capabilities allow us to safely complete multiple procedures during extended appointments lasting up to four hours, depending on your specific needs and sedation level. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with dental anxiety, busy schedules, or extensive treatment needs that would otherwise require numerous separate appointments. Our Petaluma dentist carefully evaluates each case to determine the optimal combination of procedures while maintaining safety and ensuring proper healing between different types of treatments.
How do I schedule my first appointment?
Scheduling your first appointment is simple and convenient through multiple contact methods designed to fit your preferences and schedule. You can call our office directly at 415-883-0588 to speak with our scheduling team, who will help you find appointment times that work with your schedule and answer any questions about our services.

Do you accept new patients?
Yes, we welcome new patients and their families to our practice and strive to accommodate new patient appointments as quickly as possible based on your scheduling needs. Our comprehensive new patient process includes thorough dental exams, digital X-rays when appropriate, and a detailed consultation about your oral health goals and any concerns you may have. We accept most dental insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to make quality dental care accessible for new patients seeking comprehensive treatment in a comfortable, modern environment.
