Own Your Smile
Health First, Aesthetics Always
Every celebrated smile we have ever created stands on the same foundation: healthy teeth and healthy gums. General dentistry at Rifkin Raanan brings exams, cleanings, fillings, pediatric care, and prevention into the same penthouse suite where Hollywood's smiles are designed, delivered by the same four doctors with the same uncompromising standard. This is where lifelong smiles begin.
The quiet work behind every great smile
Dr. Steven Rifkin built his career on a simple philosophy: health first, aesthetics always. Beautiful cosmetic work only lasts when the foundation beneath it is sound, which is why our exams are unhurried, our cleanings are thorough, and our recommendations always start with what protects your teeth for the long run.
Dr. Justin Raanan, our periodontist, brings the same conviction to your gums. A healthy mouth supports a healthy heart, and prevention here is treated as seriously as any procedure.

Whether you are due for a checkup, overdue by years, or bringing in a little one for a first visit, the door is open at both our Beverly Hills and Brentwood offices.

Frequently asked questions
What does general dentistry include?
General dentistry is the foundation of a healthy smile: comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, deep teeth cleaning, dental fillings, fluoride treatments, periodontal maintenance, and pediatric care. At Rifkin Raanan it is delivered with the same attention to detail as our cosmetic work, because a beautiful smile begins with a healthy one.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
For most patients, a professional cleaning and exam every six months keeps teeth and gums healthy and catches small problems while they are still small. Some patients benefit from a more frequent schedule, and your doctor will recommend the interval that fits your mouth, not a one size fits all rule.
What is the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning polishes away plaque and tartar above the gumline. A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, reaches below the gumline to remove buildup from the roots of the teeth, which is essential when gum disease has started. Your exam will show exactly which one your smile needs.
Do you see children?
Yes. Pediatric dentistry is part of our general care, and our team is wonderful with young patients. Early positive visits build the habits and the confidence that carry into a lifetime of healthy smiles.
My gums bleed when I brush. Is that serious?
Bleeding gums are often the first sign of gum disease, and the earlier it is addressed the simpler the treatment. It is worth an evaluation rather than waiting, because early gum care protects both your health and any cosmetic work you may want later.
