Dr. Rafael Khavis, DDS

​Dr. Rafael Khavis brings a warm, patient-centered approach to dentistry, backed by advanced training and years of teaching experience. He graduated with honors from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, where he concentrated in Prosthodontics. He then completed the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program at Buffalo, gaining hands-on expertise in dental implants, cosmetic makeovers, root canals, oral surgery, orthodontics, and 3D dental technology.
​
Before moving to Cleveland, Dr. Khavis served as a faculty member at UB’s School of Dental Medicine, teaching students in both clinical and classroom settings.
