Everyday dental care, done thoroughly

Dr. Rifat has spent her whole career in general dentistry, including many years in hospital dentistry, where she led the dental department. She brings the same care and thoroughness to a simple check-up as to complex treatment, and many of her patients have been with her for ten or twenty years.

Only the treatment you need

For Dr. Rifat, good dentistry has never been about doing more. It is about doing what is right for you: the simplest treatment that solves the problem, and an honest word when something can wait.

A minimally invasive approach

Her approach is holistic and minimally invasive. She removes as little natural tooth as possible, looks for the cause of a problem rather than just the symptom, and pays attention to how your mouth health connects with your general health. Patients write about teeth she saved that might otherwise have been taken out.

Clear explanations, every time

Patients often mention how clearly Dr. Rifat explains procedures. You will always know what she recommends, why, and what your other options are.

What to expect

  1. Step 1: Clear explanation

    Dr. Rifat explains your options, including the cost and time each one takes, so you can decide with confidence.

  2. Step 2: Only what you need

    No more treatment than the problem calls for, and a straight answer when something can wait.

  3. Step 3: Saving teeth first

    Wherever it is safe and sensible, she repairs and protects your natural teeth.

  4. Step 4: Long-term care

    You leave with a simple plan to keep your mouth healthy between visits.

A worn, stained smile, rebuilt one careful stage at a time

Treatment:
Deep cleaning, a trial mock-up, whitening, fillings for the back teeth, and 20 ceramic veneers, upper and lower.
