What is oral surgery?
At My Favorite Dentist, oral surgery begins with something important — a thorough, honest evaluation of whether surgery is the right call, and who is best positioned to perform it. Dr. Rafa's role as your general dentist is to be your first line of assessment, understanding the full picture of your oral health, determining what's needed, and either handling it in-house or coordinating with a trusted specialist when the case calls for it.
This collaborative approach means you never get more than you need, and you always get exactly the right care from exactly the right hands. Whether Dr. Rafa performs the procedure himself or partners with a specialist on your behalf. The standard of care, and his involvement in your treatment never wavers.
The benefits of Oral surgery
Having a doctor who knows when to act and when to collaborate changes everything. Here's what that means for your care:
One doctor. One commitment.
Whether Dr. Rafa performs your procedure in-house or coordinates with a trusted specialist, his commitment to your care never changes. He remains your advocate at every stage as the constant in your treatment regardless of who's brought to the table.
Surgical precision, collaborative approach
Dr. Rafa's philosophy is to intervene only when necessary, preserve what can be preserved, and know when a specialist delivers a better outcome than going it alone. That kind of honest judgment is what sets this practice apart.
A path forward, clearly defined
Oral surgery at My Favorite Dentist is rarely the end of the conversation, but the foundation for what comes next. Dr. Rafa ensures you understand exactly where your care is headed before, during, and after any procedure.

We evaluate with precision
Every surgical case begins with a comprehensive evaluation including 3D CBCT imaging where indicated, giving Dr. Rafa the complete picture of your oral anatomy before any decisions are made. This is where he determines what's needed — and whether the procedure is best handled in-house or in collaboration with a trusted specialist. That honest assessment is the foundation of everything that follows.

We walk you through the plan
Before any procedure begins, Dr. Rafa takes the time to explain exactly what he's recommending, why it's necessary, and who is best positioned to deliver the outcome you need. If a specialist is involved, he'll coordinate that transition personally and ensure you feel informed and supported every step of the way — because informed patients make better decisions and have better experiences.

We perform with care
For procedures handled in-house, including extractions, bone grafts, and alveoloplasty, every step is performed under local anesthesia with the deliberate, precise approach that defines Dr. Rafa's standard of care. When a specialist is the right call, Dr. Rafa remains involved in your overall treatment plan, ensuring continuity and consistency from start to finish.

We support your recovery
Before you leave, Dr. Rafa walks you through detailed post-operative care instructions: what to expect, what to watch for, and how to support your healing as effectively as possible. Whether your procedure was performed in-house or with a specialist, his team is available throughout your recovery and a follow-up appointment ensures everything is healing exactly as it should.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We're here with answers.
Dr. Rafa will recommend oral surgery only when it's genuinely the right course of action, rarely as a first resort. If a tooth can be saved, he'll work to save it. If a bone graft is needed to support an implant, he'll explain exactly why and what the alternatives are. The recommendation always comes with a thorough explanation and an honest conversation about your options.
Every surgical procedure at My Favorite Dentist is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the appointment. Some soreness, swelling, and tenderness in the days following is normal and expected, Dr. Rafa will provide specific post-operative care instructions and guidance on managing discomfort during recovery. Most patients find the recovery more manageable than they anticipated.
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure and the individual. A straightforward extraction typically involves a few days of tenderness and swelling before returning to normal. A bone graft requires a longer healing period, often several months, before the site is ready for implant placement. Dr. Rafa will give you a specific recovery timeline based on your procedure and individual health factors.
Coverage for oral surgery varies significantly by procedure and insurance plan. Extractions are commonly covered in part by most dental plans, while bone grafts and other surgical procedures may have different coverage levels. My Favorite Dentist is in-network with Delta Dental Premier, Aetna, MetLife, Cigna, Humana, and several other major carriers. Our team will review your benefits with you before any procedure begins so there are no surprises.
