About

Dr. Alejandra Beatriz Raftacco, DDS

Welcome to my professional dental practice. With over two decades of dedication to oral health and patient care, I bring a wealth of experience and a passion for creating beautiful, healthy smiles. My journey in dentistry has taken me across the Americas, blending advanced education, clinical expertise, and a commitment to exemplary care.

I believe that a healthy smile is a reflection of overall well-being. My mission is to empower patients through preventive care, and tailored treatment plans. I take pride in building lasting relationships with my patients, guiding them on their journey to optimal oral health in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Educational Excellence

My foundation in dentistry began at the esteemed Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in Argentina, where I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 1990. I later revalidated my credentials in Costa Rica at the University of Costa Rica, solidifying my expertise in dental medicine. I pursued advanced certifications to expand my skills, including an Orthodontics Program at the National Institute of Orthodontics in San José, Costa Rica, and a Certification in Implantology and Oral Rehabilitation from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Most recently, I completed the International Dental Program at the University of De La Salle, Bajío, Mexico, achieving my DDS degree in 2021.

I am licensed in dental hygiene and have passed the ADEX Dental Hygiene Exam and the NBDE Parts 1 & 2. My additional certifications include Basic Life Support, Implantology, Oral Rehabilitation, and the Administration of Local Anesthesia. As a bilingual professional, native Spanish speaker with a fluent English, I am proud to serve a diverse community with clarity and understanding.

Professional Experience

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in a variety of dental specialties, including pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, prosthetics, endodontics, periodontics, oral rehabilitation, and orthodontics. My main goal has always been to complete comprehensive oral rehabilitation for my patients, ensuring they achieve both functional and aesthetic outcomes. My professional journey began in Argentina, where I served as a general dentist and later established my own clinic, providing comprehensive care to underserved populations. I owned and operated a private dental clinic in Costa Rica, delivering personalized treatments to a diverse patient base.

Today, I practice in California, offering a full spectrum of dental services. My approach combines state-of-the-art techniques with a patient-centered philosophy, ensuring that each individual receives the highest standard of care.

Intercultural Approach to Dental Practices

My global journey in dentistry has allowed me to embrace an intercultural approach to dental care. Having trained and practiced in Argentina, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States, I understand that every patient comes from a unique cultural background that shapes their views on oral health. I strive to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard and respected, ensuring that my treatments are not only clinically effective but also culturally sensitive. By incorporating diverse perspectives, I aim to provide care that aligns with each patient's individual needs and values.

Thank you for considering me as your partner in dental health. I look forward to helping you achieve the smile you deserve.
