Conscious sedation and relaxation techniques allow Dr. Raffel and his team to perform dentistry that is free of agony and distress.  This is perfect for patients with anxiety over dental exams. Let us keep you calm while reducing any uneasiness if you’re seeking a dentist in the Coral Gables area.

Even if you take excellent care of your teeth and gums at home, it is still imperative to regularly see a dentist. Dr. John Raffel and his team can check for problems that you may not see or feel.

Dental emergencies happen at the most inopportune times, but Dr. Raffel specializes in crisis treatment and pain relief.  If you or someone you love requires orthodontic help immediately, don’t hesitate to call our office immediately.

Some kids get anxious about visiting the dentist, imagining a harrowing experience that rarely ever comes.  Dr. Raffel and his team in Miami have a distinct sensitivity for orthodontic care in children of all ages.  We strive to ensure your child’s examination is pleasant and successful.

When a tooth adversely impacts the mouth, it must be removed.  Decay or obstruction requires extraction.  Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth should also be dealt with before they cause too much harm and anguish.

Brushing causes our gums to bleed, even if we can’t see it.  However, if they become painfully swollen and red you may have Gum Disease.  Schedule a visit with a periodontist to avoid a serious condition.

Clenching and grinding your teeth throughout the day – or while you slumber – wears out and flattens your teeth.  It can also cause jaw, ear, and head pain.  Whether it be a conscious or unconscious response to your lifestyle, Dr. Raffel can diagnose a proper solution.

Some decayed, damaged, or infected teeth may be repaired with root canal treatment.  This will prevent the tissue in the affected area from becoming septic and stop possible abscesses.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) is a condition exhibited by restrictions in jaw movement while speaking, eating, or swallowing caused by pain in the affected area.
