From a young age, Dr. Rafiuddin knew she wanted to become a dentist. She was immediately drawn to the clinical and artistic aspects of dentistry. She recognized how vital oral health is to a person’s overall physical and mental health. One of Dr. Rafiuddin’s favorite things about being a restorative specialist is that she can treat a patient comprehensively. She can focus tooth by tooth and treat cavities and also look at a patient’s dentition as a whole and recommend orthodontic or periodontal treatment. To Dr. Rafiuddin, being a dentist means endless opportunity to make positive changes in her patients’ lives while educating and motivating them to take great care of themselves.
Dr. Rafiuddin’s interest in education and providing oral care to vulnerable communities led her to participate in several outreach programs. She worked with children at Give Kids a Smile and schools to educate and provide exams. She worked with vulnerable communities at Free clinics in Manhattan, participated in Remote Access mobile clinics across the United States, and worked with Somos Amigos to provide dental outreach in the Dominican Republic. Dr. Rafiuddin looks forward to continuing outreach work as she continues her career in dentistry.
While diving deeper within cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Rafiuddin discovered a new passion for facial aesthetics. She is excited to offer non-surgical and anti-aging solutions. By addressing concerns such as acne, wrinkles, pigmented lesions, muscle toning and so much more, she is able to empower her patient’s to look and feel their best.
Dr. Rafiuddin is an empathetic provider who prioritizes patient care and strives to help each individual in achieving their healthcare and aesthetic goals.
Outside of the dental office, Dr. Rafiuddin prioritizes family, fitness and food. She was born and raised in New York in a tight knit family and values community and relationships.
