Dental Implants
Dental implants at Rice Dentistry provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. Using titanium posts integrated into the jawbone, we restore both function and aesthetics. Our All-on-X technique ensures stability with fewer implants, while advanced 3D planning guarantees precise placement. Patients enjoy durable, natural-looking results that enhance oral health and confidence.
Invisalign
Invisalign at Rice Dentistry straightens teeth discreetly with clear aligners. As a top 1% provider, we use advanced technology to create customized treatment plans. Our expertise in bite management ensures optimal results in 6-24 months. The nearly invisible aligners allow patients to maintain their lifestyle while achieving a confident, functional smile.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting discoloration, gaps, and misshapen teeth. At Rice Dentistry, we use ultra-thin ceramic shells for a natural appearance. Our minimally invasive approach preserves tooth structure, while master ceramists ensure lifelike aesthetics. Veneers offer a durable, stain-resistant solution for a radiant, long-lasting smile.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry at Rice Dentistry ensures a relaxed experience for anxious patients. Options include oral sedation, nitrous oxide, and IV sedation administered by certified professionals. This approach allows complex treatments to be completed efficiently while minimizing discomfort. Patients wake with little memory of the procedure, reducing dental fear and promoting regular care.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Full mouth reconstruction rebuilds oral health using implants, crowns, and veneers. Rice Dentistry addresses severe decay, trauma, or wear with personalized plans. Advanced techniques like All-on-X implants restore functionality and aesthetics in one visit. The process combines cosmetic and restorative dentistry to rejuvenate smiles and improve overall well-being.

I saw Dr. Taylor Rice today and he is amazing. He knows his craft very well, and was able to help me with my dental issues with such ease and professionalism. My sister was with me and was so impressed, she is going to start coming here now. Thank you to Dr. Rice, Wendy, and Thu for your kindness, expertise, and professionalism.

Have had a fear of dentists all my life due to traumatic experiences as a child. If I would have went to a dentist office like this one I would not have any fear. Dr. Rice was the best. From the initial consultation to his hands doing the work. This is how a business should be run. Great staff, great customer service, great culture. I "almost" look forward to going to the dentist, that's how nice the staff is. Thank you - thank you - thank you

If you are looking for an honest, trusting Dentist office, then Dr Rice's office is the best. Their hygienist are the best especially Melissa. They are a caring and gentle dental practice. I wouldn't give them five stars but TEN STARS. You will not be disappointed.

I really have so much love and appreciation for Rice Dentistry. I have really never been to an (Dentistry) establishment that is so clean, so professional, so organized, and so amazing! Dr Rice is kind, he is warm, he is so smart & knowledgeable, and he is one of those doctors whom genuinely really cares for his clients(patients). I literally drives 2 hours to Rice Dentistry to see my favorite Dentist and his amazing staffs! Dr Ravon is also so professional and an amazing surgeon.
I have nothing love for Rice Dentistry. I have had a chronic dental condition which I have suffered greatly prior to finding Dr Rice. Dr Rice and Dr Ravon has changed my life in so many ways. they have gave me hope and have never given up on me. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! Grateful, Jennie Min

My dentist of 20 years closed his shop during Covid, so I hadn't been for a cleaning in 18+ months. Dr. Rice and his entire team was terrific! The office is spotless, well-appointed, and totally up-to-date in terms of technology and equipment. The staff was incredibly kind, I never felt rushed. And the entire visit was pain-free! Win win win!

Dr Rice has been my dentist for nearly twenty years now. I highly recommend him and his staff. The equipment he uses is state of the art, and it makes the experience very easy and efficient. The hygienists, assistants and staff are the epitome of professionalism as well as friendly and caring. If you want a beautiful natural smile you'll be so glad you went to see Dr Rice. I wouldn't trust anyone else but him. Thanks for always taking such good care of me. jp

Hands down, best dentist in OC. Your journey starts with exceptional friendly staff that greet you by name, that help with all your questions from process to billing and work around your schedule for appointments. Next step is meeting with Dr. Taylor RIce who is amazing. He is just what I needed to get my smile back and the confidence I have been wanting. He makes you feel comfortable while you're in the chair and works with you throughout every step to ensure he provides you with exceptional results no matter your personal journey or dentistry needs. Listens and answers any question you may have about your smile.
If you are like myself and have had horrible experiences from the dentist in the past, this is definitely the place to go to erase all of those insecurities and start living your best life with a smile that will surely get you complements. =

I had a positive experience with Rice Dentistry. I came in for a consultation. A friend highly recommend Rice Dentistry, and I could only say great things with my experience today. The staff were friendly and courteous. They were also calm and comforting, which is helpful especially to those with anxiety from getting dental work. Dr. Taylor Rice answered all my questions and explained in detail the kind of work that needed to be done with my teeth.
The office is clean and modern. From the time I came in the office to the moment I left, I was treated with care and kindness. I'm so happy I came here. Like my friend, I highly recommend Rice Dentistry.

Dr Rice Dentistry is highly recommended! I have dental phobia, since I was a kid, and these dentists and dental hygienist take such good care to be gentle and listen to my needs!

My time is precious and they never make me wait over my appointment time which is also very important to me. You will not be disappointed with Dr Rice and associates!

Most peaceful dentist office ever. Staff is SO nice and strive to make you feel comfortable. Very clean, modern, yet comfy office. They even have snacks and beverages for you while you wait. They provide clean blankets so you can snuggle up and just relax. I've had my braces done here as well as regular and deep cleanings. My mom has come for extensive cosmetic work and I have referred a friend. All have been very pleased.

Dr. Rice Father and Son are one of a kind. I honestly could not have come to a better place. The whole staff is Wonderful! My goal is to one day be able to afford Dr. Rice either Father or Son to make my smile beautiful! I trust them both. If anyone is looking for an honest dentist this would be the place.

As a son of a dentist, spending 38 years in Larry Hartman's chair, I have pretty high standards for dentistry. I was AMAZED by my experience with Dr. Rice, and his phenomenal team. His recommendations were fair and honest, very much in my best interest and not self-serving. Every part of the experience at the office communicated care and concern for their patients. I can't recommend them enough, and look forward to working with them for years to come!

There is a reason there are so many 5 star reviews. It's all true...our experience here was more than you would ever ask for.
Professional, polite...good listeners. Explanations on what was happening and more importantly why. The entire staff made you feel welcome and would commonly go above and beyond. They truly do make you feel they care because they actually do...funny how that works. Can not give enough thanks for the best dental experience my family has encountered. Rice Dentistry has set the bar.

Just had a crown put on and a cavity taken care of by Dr. Taylor Rice. Can't say enough great things about Dr. Rice and his staff. They were warm, friendly, and took the time to explain the entire procedure. They made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Most importantly, I didn't feel any pain! Very nice dentist office easily accessible from the 5, 405 or 133 freeways. My only regret was that I didn't see Dr.
Rice sooner! Very happy with my experience and glad we finally found our new family dentist. If you are looking for a dentist who is honest, compassionate, has the skill set to do quality work, and does it right the first time, Dr. Rice is the only dentist I would recommend.
