At John Ravera D.D.S., we believe that a doctor and patient become a team for treating an individual’s cosmetic dentistry needs. Our dentists spend most of their time listening to understand your concerns and responding with the best treatment options for you. With the help of our professional staff, they also follow up to make sure that general pain is relieved, problems are resolved and your health improves.
We also want our patients to be informed about cosmetic dentistry options, because informed patients make better decisions about their health and well being. That is why we’ve included an extensive section on this web site covering the full array of topics associated with cosmetic dentistry and diagnoses and treatments associated with your teeth. We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern about your cosmetic dentistry needs and care.
We also know that convenience in the Newport Center area is important to your selection of a cosmetic dentist. In these web pages you’ll find information about John Ravera D.D.S.’s office, including our Newport Center location, maps, directions, hours, insurance policies and appointment scheduling. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have or to schedule an appointment. We hope you’ll find our practice offers the accessibility and personal commitment you look for from a dentist.
Dr. Ravera has been practicing dentistry since 1999 after graduating from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, and comes from a family of health care providers, being the third generation of dentists in his family. Both his father, John Ravera, M.D. (Urology), and his uncle, Robert Ravera, DDS, have practiced in Newport since the early 70's and are now retired.
Dr. Ravera is proud to lead a personal service based practice where he and his staff are dedicated to both their patients and continuing education. They take the time to listen and answer patient's concerns with the most complete and up-to-date information. Dr. Ravera always makes himself available to his patients. The office utilizes the most current innovations in dental technology and uses state of the art equipment including digital radiographs (x-rays) which emit lower radiation, as well as intra-oral cameras and flat screen monitors for better patient education.
Dr. Ravera really likes to get to know his patients and make sure they feel comfortable and have the opportunity to address their concerns. That is why the first visit usually involves a consultation, if the patient prefers, where Dr. Ravera and the patient sit down in his office and get to know each other, allowing both the patient and Dr. Ravera to address as much information as possible. The rest of the appointment involves radiographs (if applicable), cancer screening, TMJ exam, perio (gum tissue) evaluation, as well as an intra oral hard tissue (teeth) exam. The findings are discussed with the patient using large monitors where the patients are allowed to have all their questions answered and Dr. Ravera's recommendations given.
In his free time, Dr. Ravera enjoys playing guitar, surfing, volunteering with the Flying Samaritans, travel (has been all over the world), and motorcycle touring.
