Dr. Rashad Riman
A dentist who teaches dentists. Co-founder of one of the largest surgical education platforms in the profession, and the clinician who performs almost all of his work under a microscope.
The Dentist Other Dentists Learn From
When you sit in his chair, you are being treated by someone whose technique is studied by thousands of clinicians around the world.
He Spent a Decade Inside the System He Left
Dr. Rashad’s first ten years out of dental school were spent in HMO and PPO practices. Over sixty of them.
That is an unusual education. He saw exactly how volume dentistry works, how quickly a patient becomes a billing code, and how much good clinical judgment gets overruled by what a plan will reimburse.
“I felt more joy, more purpose, and more satisfaction delivering quality care for patients who know the difference. I felt like I finally found my people.”
He co-founded ELEV8 to practice the way he had always believed dentistry should be practiced, without asking anyone’s permission for the time it takes.
Precision as a Standard, Not a Selling Point
Under the Microscope
He performs 95% of his restorative, surgical, and esthetic work under magnification. Most dentists work with the naked eye and a pair of loupes.
- Margins you cannot see, you cannot seal
- Less healthy tooth removed, every time
- Speaker, Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry
Surgical & Biocompatible
Advanced surgical training applied to a biological philosophy, so the work is both technically exacting and body-friendly.
- Metal-free zirconia implants
- Cavitation and failed root canal surgery
- PRF and regenerative healing support
Conservative by Instinct
Biomimetic restoration and minimally invasive technique, chosen because they preserve the tooth you still have.
- Inlays and onlays instead of crowns
- Immediate dentin sealing and deep margin elevation
- High-end cosmetic work that respects enamel
SurgicalMaster
With Beverly Hills periodontist Dr. Ziv Simon, Dr. Rashad co-founded a dental education platform built to put advanced surgical technique within reach of the everyday general dentist. It now serves more than 30,000 members across 30+ courses.
“They are teaching dentists how to become better, faster and more efficient. Wherever they teach, don’t walk, RUN!”

The Calm Is Part of the Technique
People arrive at ELEV8 carrying years of bad dental experience. Dr. Rashad’s first job is usually not clinical at all, it is getting someone to unclench.
He explains what is about to happen before it happens, in detail, and then does it slowly. Patients who arrived terrified describe extractions they barely felt.
Precision under a microscope and a patient who is genuinely relaxed are not separate skills. They depend on each other.

Loved by Beverly Hills
“Dr. Rashad and his team exude excellency and integrity in their work. His eye for detail, patience and dedication. The peace of mind and outcome is priceless.”
“Dr. Rashad was incredibly gentle. The extraction took about 20 minutes, and I was honestly surprised by how quick and completely painless it was.”
“Every detail was handled with meticulous care, artistry, and precision. That level of dedication, care and compassion is rare.”
