I am very nervous about going to any dentist in general, just too many bad experiences in my past. But Dr Rice & his office are great at providing a relaxed, no stress environment. I have had 2 major surgeries (under sedation) at the office, but I don't remember them at all..... The work was great, but I just don't remember it. I have had fillings done by Dr Rice & the procedure could not have gone better. The dreaded shots of pain killer, I didn't hardly feel at all. Dr Rice is SO good at it! The drilling was short and the filling quick and I was out of there in maybe 20 minutes. Nothing to stress about! Call me a very happy client! read more

Dr Rice and his team are excellent providers of care. They are extremely knowledgeable, very compassionate and supportive when we first moved to the area eight years ago, research for a dental office and Dentist we could trust. We are so thankful for the recommendation to go to see Dr. Rice. read more

Although the healing of my teeth was what brought me to Dr. Rice, that has really been such a small part of what has been healed for me & it seems important to share this part with everyone At the end of my last session, I was telling Dr Rice that I have been reading poetry out loud to help me adjust to my new dentures. Then - he put a favorite poem of his up on the monitor. In the next moment, something very quietly but very deep healed in me & 65 years of fear released from my body. I 'consciously' realized it later when I was sharing the story with friends . . . there I was - sitting in a chair that terrified me, surrounded by equipment & machines that represented torturous experiences for me - but today here I sat looking at beautiful birds gathering around a feeder outside the window the dental chair was facing & reading a lovely poem. I felt only a little residue of anxiety . . . mostly I felt peaceful & tremendously grateful that I was lucky enough to find Dr. Rice & amazing team that helped to make this incredible healing possible. read more

Dr. Rice and his team are the best. I travel over 40 miles to go see him and his team. The drive is worth the perfection. I saw Melissa for my cleaning. She is a perfectionist. I highly recommend requesting her for your cleaning. As always Dr. Rice was very thorough with his exam and explanations of future work needed given my complex oral issues. He persistently checks some of my more complex issues and advises what will be needed next well in advance of needing to complete those procedures. He is great at explaining the option he recommends and takes the extra time to show you why he recommended the specific option he recommends. I won't go anywhere else. As always he and his team go above and beyond. If you're scared of the dentist like I was for years, he is excellent at understanding your fear and will do everything possible to help you overcome those fears. I no longer dread going to the dentist. They have made me totally fearless about dentistry. I cannot say enough positive things to truly explain how great the entire staff is. Truly phenomenal. Keep up the great work! read more

The staff is always friendly. Excellent skilled care provided for cleanings and all other dental work. My entire family goes to Dr. Rice!

Dr Rice and his staff are incredible! They take time to explain things, making sure you understand options and their recommendations. They are easy to work with and make it so easy and convenient to schedule appointments. They are kind and patient with my children (ages 5, 7 and 11) too! read more

The level of care that is provided by Dr Rice and team is tremendous.they go above and beyond to ensure you are taken care of and more importantly come back when needed. read more

Absolutely HAD to praise Dr. Rice and his services. I woke up late last night and was in a ravenous mood, which is not out of the usual. I grabbed a couple cookies and a glass of milk, but upon biting into the first one, I noticed that my tongue was rubbing against something sharp. Long story short, the back part of my tooth had chipped off and was now poking the side of my tongue. Mega ouch. As soon as I woke up this morning, I called Dr. Rice on the recommendation of a friend who had a great experience with him. I explained the situation to his very courteous staff (which sometimes is an issue in medical settings) and they said the doctor was actually in the office unscheduled today, but would see me given the nature of the chip. I hurried right over. After the standard paperwork, I was brought into the back office where four suites were situated with very modern and up-to-date equipment. The doctor came in and gave me a brief examination before saying that his assistant would be taking some x-Rays and then we would get started. After he examined the x-rays, he told me how there was decay BELOW the surface of the tooth (due to my orthodontist hammering on my anchors for my braces YEARS ago) and that he would clean that up and craft a replacement/filler. Now, you know that point after you get numbed up and the dentist starts drilling and you can QUITE feel it but every now and then, they hit something and you kinda jump up in pain? There was ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THAT! I was literally lounging back in the chair while the doctor explained his choice for the treatment and how other doctors tended to treat similar issues with unnecessary (and costly) root canals! No thanks. Instead, I was without any pain as Dr. Rice took care to make sure the new filling was hardened and in place. All in all, I was only at the office for about 40 mins, from beginning to end, which is just mindblowing to me. I've had experiences where the time in the waiting room alone was that long. Considering how great of a job he did, how quick it was, and literally painless as well, I wish I could somehow give him 6 stars. He even was willing to take me on his day off! This is definitely my new dentist from here on out. If you are looking for a great, thorough experience in what is usually a not-so-fun time, I would recommend Dr. Rice. My mom just booked an appointment for her annual check up. Can't say enough, well done Dr. Rice!! read more

Dr Rice's office is the best!!!! My son has special needs and they are so patient. Especially Denise. She is the best with my son Drew. We have been going since 2011 and he gets the best care. Thank you to the entire staff at Dr. Rice. read more

The hardest working dental team around! Dr Rice is patient, calm and thorough. His work is of the highest quality. Shannon, his steady assistant, is a pleasure to work with. She always review the work of the day before it starts and ends with follow up instructions and time for questions. Thanks for your service! read more

Dr Rice and his whole crew are AMAZING. They are all so nice and really care about you and your comfort during your visit. I've had a few dental emergencies and they always get me in right away, and call the next day to see how I'm feeling. I truly recommend him to everyone now. read more

Amazing experience. I have never been to a dentist that was so informative. And his dental hygienist was the best I even went to.

I have been going to Dr. Rice office for years now. I can't stress enough how absolutely wonderful this dental office is. The staff are highly encouraging, positive and uplifting. They listen to your needs. I leave here each and every time feeling blessed that I found them and they are in my life! Thank you all. read more

Thank you Dr. Rice and staff! You got me in quickly, answered all my questions and as always offered the right plan of action for my current dental/medical situation! read more

Had a great experience at this dentist appointment. The staff was very friendly and Dr Rice explained everything to me in detail and what to do if what he did does not work for my crown. Already gave me a referral to another dentist if it doesn't. read more

Recent appt for a cleaning. Dr. Rice personally recommended a improvement application in using an electric toothbrush. He not only told me about it, demo it, but had me actually do it with him. Great technique and pedagogy! read more

Awesome experience. I needed a filling. They got me in meeting my time frame. Fixed my tooth lickedy-split (no pun intended). I had no pain, no issues. I was amazed. The office staff was helpful and friendly and knew what they were doing. I felt super comfortable. I will return. If you need a competent dentist who really cares about helping his patients. Here is your new dentist! Look no further. read more

I have been meaning to take the time to write a quick review to praise Dr Rice and his team! Upon relocating to the area a friend of mine (also a very happy customer!) suggested I visit Dr Rice. Needless to say it is always hard to find a new dentist and I was nervous. However, I am so utterly pleased and happy with his office that I actually look forward to visiting the dentist now! Thank you so much for your outstanding service! read more

I have been terrified of the dentist for years. I found out that Dr Rice has sedation by researching online. I cannot tell you how I am so thrilled that I have found him!! Everyone in this office is amazing! They are so incredibly kind and understanding!! I've been going for cleanings for the last year and have never felt more relaxed! I just had the sedation with some work and it was the BEST experience of my life at a dentist!! I wish I would have found them a long time ago! Dr Rice himself called me the next night, which was a Friday night, to see how I was!! To say I highly recommend them would be an understatement! Thank you everyone at Dr Rices office for all your support it means the world to me! read more

Our whole family actually looks forward to going to the dentist! Everyone in the office is kind, helpful, and encouraging!

Dr. Rice and his amazing staff are courteous, professional and unbelievably accommodating! I needed to schedule an emergency appointment to address a painful tooth; and, he and his staff stayed after hours to accommodate me, ensure that my pain would be managed throughout the night and referred me to another specialist who took care of me first thing the following morning. Dr. David Rice is officially the new general dentist for myself and my family! Thank you again! read more

I haven't been in IL that long and needed an emergency tooth extracted. I called that morning and they took me right in. He was very patient with me and understood how I felt about losing a tooth for the first time. I will definitely be back to see him. read more

Dr. Rice and his staff are the best. Everyone is super kind and professional. Dr. Rice makes you feel totally comfortable and never tries to strong arm you or make you feel guilty. He's a total perfectionist but NOT in a way that is anxious or overbearing. He really cares about your health and explains everything very clearly. Chandra holds down the front desk and always goes out of her way to take care of you. Shannon and Denise are incredibly kind and make you feel relaxed. Plus the office is super clean and each room has a window with a bird feeder hanging outside of it, so you don't have to stare at a blank wall while your doing your fluoride treatment. This is the only place that makes me look forward to going to the dentist! read more

We were referred to Dr. Rice by a friend of ours after my daughter suffered from jaw pain for over a year. Other doctors brushed off her symptoms and said she would grow out of it. Dr. Rice has helped us get her back on the road to being pain free. He is extremely thorough, very patient and explains things in detail about her issues. He even pulled up a video to help explain what was going on. The staff is friendly and helpful. My daughter's favorite part is the bird feeders set up outside the window for her to watch while she is at her appointment. We are so glad our friend referred us! read more

Great Staff and service from Dr. Rice. By far a first-rate staff, office environment and service experience. I needed a broken crown repaired prior to leaving town on business and Chandra was able to get me scheduled the next day. Dr. Rice was able to repair the crown quickly and had me on my way in less than an hour. Thank you. read more
