Over a period spanning decades, Dr. Robert G. Rifkin has earned a reputation as one of the most renowned cosmetic dentists in Beverly Hills and indeed the world over. He is credited by many of his peers and colleagues as a pioneer in the field of dentistry as a whole and an innovator in the practice of aesthetic dentistry.
Following this, he has gone on to become the sole trusted dental practitioner for some of the biggest names in entertainment, sports, politics, and business. As such, he is the man behind some of the most iconic smiles in history, including Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Magic Johnson, Janet Jackson, Reese Witherspoon, and Megan Fox, to name just a few.
Having originally studied under the whos who in the field of dentistry, he has gone on to help thousands of patients achieve natural-looking, aesthetically-balanced smiles. Today he is considered a modern-day giant of his field and a master of aesthetics in every sense of the phrase. He is also an expert in comprehensive periodontal-implant rehabilitation.
As an international lecturer, researcher, and author, Dr. Robert Rifkin has delivered dozens of lectures, speaking to numerous dental societies and academies throughout the world, and authored papers on a wide range of topics, including Facial Analysis, Full Mouth Reconstruction, Digital Photography, and Aesthetics for Natural Teeth and Implants.
Dr. Rifkin teaches and writes on the techniques that he has honed and perfected in his personal Beverly Hills Dental practice, which is one of the most successful practices in the United States.

Dr. Rodney Raanan is a highly-trained and innovative Beverly Hills cosmetic Dentist. He is highly-skilled, detail-oriented, and passionate about perfection for each patient he sees. His impressive history and experience are a testament to his devotion to his patients and his craft.
Upon graduation from dental school, Dr. Raanan studied an additional three years at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine to earn his specialty degree in Prosthodontics and a Masters of Medical Sciences in Oral Biology: a significant achievement reserved for the leading authorities in the field.
From there, he did what the best cosmetic dentists do; find the best cosmetic dentist and learn from them. Through his apprenticeship with Dr. Robert Rifkin, Dr. Raanan took his industry-leading skills to an even higher level. Now, as friends and colleagues, the two continue to hone their skills together, making Rifkin Raanan the most elite cosmetic dental practice in the country.
Like most 21st century industries, cosmetic dentistry has gone digital. Dr. Rodney Raanan has been on the leading edge of that transformation from the beginnings of his career, using computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) design techniques as a resident at Harvard Dental School. Since then, he has continued to sharpen his skills, incorporating revolutionary digital technologies where they make a difference, and applying hand-crafted solutions where they matter most.
Dr. Raanan has extensive experience in the latest innovations in Aesthetic Dentistry, Implant Dentistry, Full Mouth Reconstruction and Rehabilitation, TMJ Disorders, correction of bite problems, and multidisciplinary treatment coordination with highly skilled dental and medical specialists. His position as a leader and educator gives him access to help shape the future of cosmetic dentistry as new techniques and technologies enter the space.
We know the difference a smile can make. When a patient comes to us and we treat them, we know that every decision we make could impact their chances of landing a job, making a good first impression, or even finding love. Thats why it has to be perfect.
Dr. Raanan believes true leaders lead by doing. Through each patient he sees and each smile he creates, Dr. Raanan helps craft the standard for excellence in cosmetic dentistry through his holistic approach. His focus on the latest advancements in the field means he is constantly innovating and applying new best practices in his treatments. He also trains the next generation of industry-leading dentists as a part-time faculty member at the UCLA School of Dentistry.
Dr. Raanan believes true leadership also means reshaping the world to be a better place. In addition to his work as a mentor, educator, and leading cosmetic dentist here in Los Angeles, Dr. Raanan devotes himself to helping those who are in need of critical oral care but lack the means to receive it. He donates his time and resources to the Union Rescue Mission in downtown Los Angeles, improving dental health for those in the city experiencing homelessness. He also participates in international mission trips to countries like Guatemala and El Salvador to help improve smiles there. A better smile can be the first step to a better life, and Dr. Raanan leads by example in providing this gift to others.
When selecting a practice to go to for your cosmetic dentistry needs, you have many options to choose from. On the surface, many practices may seem similar in nature but it is the subtle differences in training, expertise, technological capabilities, and amenities that ultimately make the difference. It is these qualities that enable us to achieve truly superior results and a caliber of service matched only by a handful of practices worldwide.
Here at Rifkin Raanan, we are committed to a patient experience that is absolutely second-to-none and results that are cosmetically and functionally at the highest possible echelon. We maintain these exalted standards through rigorous training, ongoing research and investment in the very best dental technologies available today.
Beyond our beautifully decorated premises and the extensive experience of our expert team, the feature that perhaps distinguishes our practice above all other is our world-class, on-site dental laboratory.
Outfitted with state-of-the-art dental lab technologies and an expert laboratory staff, there is virtually nothing in dentistry that cant be custom crafted right here within our walls. This is indeed a rare feature to find in a dentistry practice, but it is part of our commitment to being the best cosmetic dentistry practice in the world. This enables us to achieve world-class results in less than half the time that it typically takes other practices. It also means we work hand-in-hand with the professionals crafting your dental prosthetics allowing us to keep a close eye at each step so no detail is spared.

Dr. Rodney is the best!!!! Cannot recommend enough- He takes such pride in the work he does- he even explained to me what he was looking for in my X-Rays and educated me on my dental health. The most incredible dentist office I've ever been to! The place is stunning- they have crystals and beautiful modern furniture! The staff is so friendly and kind- I've never met more empathetic technicians.

Dr. Rodney is best dentist in Beverly hill. The only one I can trust with my teeth. The office always super clean and team truly impressed me. He very caring and rake his time for patient! They also has the latest technology for medical imaging and x-rays, and most importantly, when it comes time to replace a filling, or get drilled, he is gentle, and doesn't over do it on numbing agents. I am so happy I found Dr. Rodney! I highly recommending him to my friends. Amazing team. Overall amazing would recommend 10/10

When the back of my Porcelan Veneer cracked, I was luck enough to have Dr. Raanan fix it. He is so precise, like an artist painting a beautiful piece. Dr. Raanan is so professional and you can feel he is just a nice guy too.

Dr. Raanan is absolutely incredible. I called him worried about pain I had been experiencing in my mouth, and within minutes he had scheduled an appointment for me later that day. He was efficient, incredibly kind, and was able to identify and fix the problem all together. I have only ever heard stellar things about Rifkin and Ranaan, and I am so grateful to have experienced it first hand. Thank you much, Dr. Raanan!!!!! :)

We all know someone, or know of someone, who was just lucky enough to have been born to their profession. They always knew what they wanted to do, were blessed with the potential to accomplish it, and had the passion to follow through. I for one cannot imagine dreaming of becoming a dentist. Thank goodness Dr's. Rodney and Justin Raanan did just that. My own dream about even seeing a dentist probably resembled yours: nightmare. Until I met these folks that is. Now I can truly say I look forward to my visits. It's not that they treat you (they do of course). It's more they take care of you. They radiate with a warm yet still confident, eminently professional manner. Not just the docs, but almost everyone on the staff seems to exude this same, glowing sense of kindness. You feel better just walking in the door. While they could easily write a book on their profession, they could do the same for bedside manner. You know, you really know, everything little thing is gonna be all right. The actual technical service is, well, nothing less than perfection. Not so much medical practice as expert craft-work; maybe even artistry. Not that it always comes easy. They labor very, very hard. And keep laboring--no matter how challenging the issues (my own many were not easy)--until they get it, get you, absolutely right. If perfect is the enemy of good enough, they're clearly losing the battle against good. Perfectionism as it pertains to the Raanan's is more a way of being than an impediment to anything. Better, this is a one-stop, family enterprise. Dr. Rodney handles dentistry, Dr. Justin periodontics. If you need an x-ray or a cat scan even, step right this way. A custom crown, a specialty implant, a simple cleaning (in this case ultrasonic actually), you need not venture further than a few steps this way or that. These are the painters who know just the right tone, stroke, texture, and just the right tool needed to complete the final canvas. And they have it all there at their most able fingertips. It does seem--after my many years of acquaintance--they're the sort who would do the work for free. All true artists would. Not to say it's even in the vicinity of even close to free. But in this instance, you really do get what you pay for. Maybe more. And if you have the slightest niggling impulse it all seems just a bit too too much, note to self: they also volunteer their time several times a month to those who can't afford even a simple bristled brush. Think of it as indirect charity. And think of it--you will not regret it--as a treat to yourself. This time I'll book first class. It will end up the best trip you ever took.

Wow. Where have you been all my life?! After struggling with a cross bite, braces and Invisalign, and grinding that caused my front 6 teeth to be stubby and chipped, Dr. Rodney has been the answer to all my prayers and fixed my smile in a way that i never knew was possible. I was scared going in because i didn't want an obvious veneers look. He assessed the state of my mouth and fixed my bite by filing down some filings that had been making me uncomfortable. And patiently taught me so much about teeth so i understood what was happening at every step of the process. People have been been asking me if I've had work done on my face and saying I look prettier without realizing it's my teeth! Grateful for this artist who gave me the perfect NATURAL LOOKING smile. :D

I don't have enough nice things to say about Dr. Rodney. I was super nervous about a procedure and he made me feel totally at ease. The end result was beautiful (as always), and I'm so happy with the caliber of work done. I've been a patient at this practice for the past decade and would recommend Dr Rodney and his colleagues without hesitation.

If I could have given six stars to Dr. Rodney Raanan for his amazing dental work, I would. Dr. Rodney is the nicest dentist I have ever been to. I really appreciate that he took the time to educate me about why my front teeth were constantly chipping and certain things about my oral health that I didn't know. He was very comprehensive and the procedure was truly painless. I really felt like I was at a spa and I couldn't be happier with the results of my smile. I feel so much more confident now. Thank you Dr. Raanan!
