Oral Surgery Testimonials − Wilmington DE

I found myself needing an oral surgeon due to an infection caused by an impacted wisdom tooth. I was desperate and searched through google to find an adequate doctor. What I found in Dr. Rafetto's office exceeded my expectations. The staff was efficient in getting me appointments for my consultation and surgery and gave me tips to manage my pain in the meantime. I was given a thorough understanding of the procedure and the aftercare to make my experience as comfortable as possible. I had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed and did not need to take a single Percocet. Dr. Rafetto even arranged to see me a week after the surgery to ensure I was healing properly. I am grateful to Dr. Rafetto and all of his staff for being so caring and knowledgeable and would highly recommend his practice to anyone.

I had 4 wisdom teeth extracted with local and nitrous, 2 were impacted. Dr. Rafetto was great! Him and all of the staff made me feel comfortable during every visit, the office and rooms are very clean, neat and organized. I knew exactly what to expect before and after my procedure, I didn’t need the pain meds I only used Tylenol and Motrin after the procedure. A co-worker referred me to Dr. Rafetto and I definitely recommend him to others!!

My Dentist Erin Rautio recommended me to Doc Raffeto for an implant procedure, Both of my experiences with my Doctor have been the best in Delaware.

I was nervous about having my wisdom teeth removed but Dr. Rafetto & his staff did a great job of making sure all my questions were answered & assured me everything was going to be ok. My experience couldn’t have been better. I didn’t have a lot of pain or swelling. I was eating my regular diet by the second day after the procedure. I only had a little swelling for two days & I didn’t need to take any pain medication after the first day.

I came in kinda nervous based on what people say about getting their wisdom teeth out and I was afraid I would be able to feel it, but it was a great experience and I wasn’t able to feel anything and I was calm during the procedure! After my surgery the recovery went really well and I recovered relatively quickly with little discomfort, just make sure to keep it top of medication, the worst part was waiting for the numbness to go away!

This office was awesome and Dr. Rafetto is wonderful! They met my every need and I had no issues. No swelling or issues post op and the instructions for post op care were very helpful!

Dr. Raffetto performed two implants last week. Before the surgery I was apprehensive about the proceedure. Office staff and Dr. Raffetto were very helpful explaining the proceedure and the recovery. The surgery took less than an hour including waiting for the anasthesia to take effect. The implant proceedure was virtually painless. The doctor explained what he was doing as he did it. Recovery was as predicted. Very minor pain and swelling. If i ever need another dental surgery I will call Dr. Raffetto.

I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Rafetto and I could not have had a more pleasant and comfortable experience. The second I met Dr Rafetto and Danielle they made me feel like I had been a patient and a friend for years. The consultation was very informative yet comforting, and they were very patient in answering my questions and concerns. During my procedure both Dr. Rafetto and Danielle not only did an excellent job, but kept the mood very light and pleasant with jokes and conversation. After my procedure they made sure I had all the information and supplies I needed for an efficient recovery, and Danielle made herself available to me by phone for any questions or concerns as I recovered. I can’t thank the whole team enough for my wonderful experience, and would highly recommend them to anyone.

During my experience of getting my 4 impacted wisdom teeth out, I overall thought it was a great experience. I was very nervous for this procedure and how I would feel afterwards, but surprisingly I had the procedure done in the beginning of the week and by day two I was up and running again. The staff and Dr. Rafetto are so welcoming and easy to talk to, I will definitely be going back if needed, and referring to all my friends that need this extraction done!

- Sydney S

Very great care and would definitely reccomend.

I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Rafetto who made the procedure and recovery go as smoothly as possible. From the consultation to the day of the procedure to the recovery, I felt as if Dr. Rafetto and his staff all genuinely cared about me as a patient and wanted to make me feel at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Rafetto and staff!

I have 3 dental implants, all put in place by Dr. Rafetto. Before the first one, I thought the procedure would hurt and that I would have a lot of pain afterward. This certainly was not the case. Each time, the implant went in easily and I had very little discomfort afterward. I returned to my normal diet after just a few days. I recommend dental implants to anyone who wants to maintain the integrity of their jaw bones (and their entire mouth) after losing a tooth. And I highly recommend Dr. Rafetto!

Excellent

So happy with everything here! The procedure was super easy- I did not feel a thing with a speedy recovery (feeling normal after 2 days). If you follow the instructions provided by the staff everything should go well for you! The whole thing was a lot easier than expected & previously heard about- and I think Dr. Rafetto & his staff made it all so much better!

I don't think anything scares me more than having work done on my teeth. But when I first walked into this office I felt at ease. I was always greeted with a smile. All of the procedures were clearly explained and I was given plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Throughout the procedures Dr. Rafetto checked on my comfort and wanted to make sure that I was OK. I felt like I was the most important patient of the day. After all of my procedures I always received a follow-up call to make sure that I was doing OK and had the opportunity to ask any questions. I know that every patient is treated like this. I highly recommend this office. I also am a little less scared about getting work done at least in this office.

When my new, BIG puppy (Golden Retriever) knocked a tooth loose near the front of my mouth while we were playing, and I found out I would not be able to keep the tooth, that I would need a dental implant, I thought it was "the end of the world." All my life, I have been EXTREMELY dental phobic; I cannot even imagine someone more afraid of dentists than I have been. I did some research and finally decided upon Dr. Rafetto to do the procedure. I could not have made a better choice! The procedure went so smoothly, the staff was so kind and reassuring through the whole process, and my recovery has been remarkable. The staff did such a terrific job of coordinating appointments for me between myself and my new dentist that they referred me to, that I didn't have to spend time doing all that, myself. If I had only known this would be a painless procedure with such a good outcome, I would not have agonized for so many days and nights in fear and anxiety. With Dr. Rafetto, I am losing my awful fear of dentists, and actually feel very comfortable and confident about my follow-up appointments. I cannot express enough gratitude to him and to each and every one of the members of his staff. I have not experienced one bit of pain at Dr. Rafetto's competent fingertips!!! If anyone out there is reading this because they need an implant or any type of procedure, if you go to this office, please do not waste your time worrying about it; you will be treated well, and if your experience is like mine, you won't feel a thing! Have no fear :-)

I was very anxious and upset to learn I had broken my tooth to the point of having to have it extracted. My dentist called Dr. Rafetto, who saw me the same morning. I was quickly made to feel at ease by the very experienced doctor and staff. At my follow up appointment the process of placing an implant was explained and I was told it would be less difficult for me to go through than the extraction. I was apprehensive - but that was completely true! The implant process was not difficult or painful. I did not even need Advil after the procedure. I would recommend Dr. Rafetto and his fantastic team without hesitation - especially to cowards.... like me!
