Dedication to Patients





At the Periodontal and Implant practice of Dr. Denine Rice,  they know exactly how to impress patients. At a time where everyone is in such a hurry, Dr. Rice and her team believe in taking the time to do a job well. “We feel spending the time with our patients is critical for their periodontal success,” Dr. Rice says. For most patients this means they schedule a minimum of one hour for each hygiene visit. “We find that is the time that’s required,” Dr. Rice adds.

Their focus on what is best for patients doesn’t end there. As an implant surgeon, Dr. Rice often sees patients who are referred to her because they have failing implants. “That’s so disappointing for patients,” Dr. Rice says. “Many times the reason is as simple as cement that is left after the final crown or bridge was cemented or the placement of a final fixture before the implant was really secure,” she adds. To prevent failing implants, Dr. Rice uses Periotest to test all her implants to determine osteointegration. Her dedication to implant success doesn’t end there, she also sees her patients for 5 years after the implants are restored at no additional charge. Just one more way they show how much they care.
