PATIENT REVIEWS

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.

I have to tell anyone out there who may be too afraid to go to the dentist, that YOU MUST give Rice Dentistry a try. I promise you will not be disappointed. I searched for the right dentist  for 3 months before deciding that Rice Dentistry was right for me. I had an implant placed, crowns, and fillings and I have to say I am very impressed and so very happy with all of my work.  Not only is everyone in the office fantastic at helping you through your anxiety, you will leave knowing that you have been treated by experts in the industry.

I looked & researched long & hard, form Orange County to Los Angeles, to find the right Dentist for my front dental implant & veneers procedure. The whole office is great. Wendy & Kelsey have been a huge help & you get the real sense that these people really care about their patients. Dr. Rice is an amazingly nice man that happens to be very good @ what he does. I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a professional & caring team that delivers fantastic results to contact Rice Dentistry.

The best service you’ll ever have. My dad hated the dentist and wouldn’t even go in for a cleaning before he switched over to Dr. Rice and now he goes in routinely and even had a lot of work done. I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed. It’s in the details, headphones and heated gloves during cleanings. Dr. Taylor Rice helped me get rid of migraines I had been experiencing for almost 10 years after finally giving up with my primary care physician, an eye doctor, and a specialist. I went in for a cleaning as a new patient and Dr. Rice saw that I had migraines on my medical history and helped me find a solution. I couldn’t be more thankful for them.

As good as it gets indeed! The worst part of the visit was seeing my HD Photo on the flat screen… Yikes! Dr. Rice was so kind and thorough, explaining everything clearly and he seemed to be genuinely excited for me to be there. The space is clean and pristine, the Hygienists,the office managers and other staff were also amazing. I loved my old dentist in LA, but I think I will be very happy here. My cleaning was possibly the best cleaning I’ve ever had and I can’t wait till my next one!

Rice Dentistry is fabulous. Everyone is very friendly and has your best interest in mind. Appointments are easy to make and reminders are send out in advance of appointments. The hygienists are very good and remember specific needs or requirements of individual patients. I highly recommend Rice Dentistry!

Dr. Taylor and his team are amazing! I was apprehensive about doing Invisalign but after all the research and meeting everyone at Rice Dentistry they were THE ONLY orthodontist I would work with. They told me exactly what to expect but assured me I needed to be compliant as well to achieve my desired results within our time frame. I was literally in tears last week when I finished treatment and saw what subtle changes to my smile were made. I can’t stop looking at my teeth!

Dr. Rice and his staff are absolutely wonderful. I had veneers put on and my smile improved tremendously. I asked for a movie star smile and I got it! I no longer have a fear of the dentist. Dr. Rice is very gentle and made sure I was comfortable and pain free.

I cannot say enough good things about Rice Dentistry.  Dr. Taylor Rice  was introduced by my son’s dentist to make a crown for his front tooth. The crown Dr. Taylor made matches perfectly with the other front tooth in terms of the shape and color – you cannot tell which one is the crown.   Dr. Taylor also kindly accommodated the crazy schedule of our summer traveling.  The entire process was speedy, smooth, and pleasant.  Dr. Rice is extremely personable and sincerely cares about your well-being.  Now, I am sending my entire family to see Dr. Rice.

Dr. Rice is not only a fine dentist, he is knowledgeable, compassionate, and with a high sense of respect for his patients. I highly recommend him, and his practice. Once you go there, you would not want to go anywhere else.

Whew, all you scarty-cats, found such a great dentist!  Had not been to the dentist in 3 years but couldn’t put it off any longer. The staff smiled and I think they were actually glad I was there.  They were efficient, professional and so friendly.  Dr. Rice was just brilliant, took care of my toothache and put me on the road to good dental health.  Honestly, I have never, ever met such an informative, caring dental office.

I really enjoyed my visit at Rice Dentistry. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. The dental equipment is state of the art and the staff is super friendly. Dr. Rice’s attention to detail is off the charts as he set me up as a new patient. He was very thorough and helped me understand the appropriate treatment plan. I will definitely be coming back, I highly recommend this dental office.

We feel that at Rice Dentistry, they take the time to listen to concerns and provide helpful feedback. Staff and medical personnel go the extra mile to make the experience extra comfortable. As a patient, they will do whatever it takes to meet your needs and accommodate your circumstances.

Exceptional dentist with an incredible staff! Dr. Rice is the best dentist I have ever had and the staff is highly experienced, friendly and efficient. Anyone in the market for a new dentist, this is definitely the place to go!

My experience with Dr. Rice and staff was amazing! If there was a 10 star rating, they would certainly get it! Over the holidays, I was in so much pain due to a decayed tooth that needed a root canal. In addition to that, I broke my back bottom molar. Both teeth needed crowns and Dr. Rice’s staff was kind enough to squeeze me into their busy schedule so I could get the problem fixed. Talk about amazing customer service!!! They treated me like royalty from the minute I walked in the door. They were professional, yet took a personal interest in me and wanted to find out how they could best meet my needs. Dr. Rice was so informative on my options and walked me through the whole process. For someone who gets nervous when doing to the dentist, he is your guy! He has a great way at putting you at ease by explaining step-by-step what he is going. He is a perfectionist and his work is top quality! Wendy was great and always makes you feel at home with her warm smile and kind heart. Maria was on top of her game making sure I was comfortable all the way to giving me my favorite music to listen to and keeping me warm with a blanket. I can honestly say I have never felt so much at home in a dental office and I will for sure be going back!

Rice Dentistry is absolutely amazing! I have only gone 3 times thus far, but I looked forward to my teeth cleanings because of the high quality service they provide. The staff is very friendly and welcoming to everyone. The hygienists are extremely thorough in their examinations of your mouth and x-rays (when needed) and gentile with their cleanings. I loved my hygienist, Tracy, she was caring and a wonderful lady and would recommend her!

Overall, this place is the best dentistry I have ever been to, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality dentist in Orange County!

Dr. Rice’s office is THE most professional and courteous group of people you will ever encounter in Orange County. I have had many different experiences with dental offices and I assure you they never ever disappoint.

I will forever be a dedicated patient of theirs. Even after I moved away from Irvine I still drive over 35 minutes to go to there office. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT that’s all I can say.

The staff is pleasant, cordial, and efficient. The office is beautiful. The care is superb and the best you will find. You are left with the feeling Rice Dentistry truly wants to deliver excellent healthcare, with patient satisfaction their goal. I would recommend Rice to anyone who wants great dentistry.

My family had been going to Rice Dentistry for years and telling me how much they loved the experience. I finally made an appointment and everything they said is true. I feel cared for and heard. Never mind all the amenities they offer while in the dentist chair, I think the staff are top-notch. I never had to wait or feel like I was put out. I just finished a nine-month orthodontic procedure and it was great. I told Dr. Taylor Rice that he did what everyone else told me they couldn’t do over the years. I am so happy with my teeth and the experience.

My brother (who hates any kind of doctor visit) raved about his experience with Rice Dentistry, so I became a patient as well. From the start, they got to know me and my oral health. The dentists and hygienists didn’t just treat my initial problem (a botched root canal from another dentist), but really thought about my concerns. They suggested preventative measures (other than just brushing and flossing). The entire staff and office environment is impeccably professional and simultaneously friendly and comfortable. They know their patients, they remember details, and their care and competence is the best I’ve seen. As if that wasn’t enough, my dad (who also became a patient) received an after-hours phone call from Dr. Rice, who called to see if he was doing okay after a dental procedure, and asked if he had any questions. Wow. Even with all this extra attention to detail, the costs are incredibly reasonable and comparative to other dentists in the area. I’m continuously impressed, I’ve never been disappointed, and I now even travel from out-of-state to come back and have my check-up with them.

Dr Rice and his staff exemplify professionalism and kindness. Everything about this office is first rate! The skill, knowledge and concern is the best I have ever experienced at any dental center. I had significant work done and I was so comfortable during my procedure I fell asleep! Dr Rice and everyone that works there is so warm and friendly too. I can’t say enough about them or all of my experiences there. They’re wonderful!

To anyone who is fearful of the dentist: this is the office for you! My biggest fear is needles, and somehow the even made the anesthesia injections enjoyable. I was never in one ounce of pain over my 9 months of procedures! Genevieve is now a friend for life, not to discount the amazing, knowledgeable, friendly office staff, dentists & surgeon. Highly recommend!

Had a dental emergency yesterday and had to get a tooth extracted. My regular dentist office wasn’t available, so I called another office. Wow! I was so amazed by this office! They were able to get me in, and the periodontist was available to extract my tooth right away. The front staff, hygienists and dentists were so friendly and helpful. Seriously the best dental office I’ve been to. It’s amazing how much your anxiety goes down when you feel like your dental team cares so much. They were all very caring and not condescending (unfortunately that happens a lot with dentists).  Definitely recommend Rice Dentistry to anyone living in Orange County!!!

If you want a dentist who truly listens to you and can make your experience pain free then come here. I have been looking for a great dentist for years. I finally found one with Dr. Rice. His whole staff is wonderful and caring. I just had a cleaning and it was wonderful and reasonable!

I had an Invisalign treatment done at Rice Dentistry and couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Dr. Rice and his staff are knowledgeable, courteous, and professional, and their office is modern and clean. I never felt that Dr. Rice was pushy or recommending any unnecessary work.

Aside from Invisalign, I also go here for routine dental care and their hygienists do an excellent job – I’m always in and out within an hour. They also give you a hot mitten hand lotion treatment during the cleaning which is extremely relaxing.

I’m also a big fan of the little tote bag they give you every visit. It’s the perfect size for me to carry my daily box lunches to work. 🙂

I have very bad teeth and had been going to mediocre (or bad) dentists all my life. An endodontist referred me to Dr. Rice. I found him to be kind, caring and very thorough. Not only did he repair all of the cavities in my teeth he gave me a brand new smile. I used to be embarrassed of the way my teeth looked now I get compliments on my great smile. Having beautiful teeth is so important to me.

All of my family goes to Dr. Rice and I have referred friends. I would refer Dr. Rice to anyone.

3 words: passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable.  Anyone can go to school to be a dentist; but you can’t teach passion and customer service.  Any employee I’ve crossed paths with at Dr. Rice’s office is amiable! They do their work with a smile on their face! I’ve recently changed my dentist to Dr. Rice after over 10 years because I felt he  genuinely cared and took his time when conducting my gum procedure!

I’ve been coming to Dr. Rice for over a decade a love him and his staff. I just had work done by his son who has the same great bedside manner making me feel calm & well taken care of. His staff is top notch. I never wait long and always feel comfortable. Thank you to Dr. Rice and team!

Our entire family feels so very fortunate that we found Rice Dentistry as they are not only very professional but very thoughtful and caring!  I used to work in the dental field as a hygienist so I understand how very important it is to find an office that does the highest quality of dental work in all aspects of their office. This office is truly a well oiled machine. Dr. Scott Rice put in two of the nicest crowns for me. He and his staff made the entire experience a great one!  My husband needed his front teeth filled in with an enamel resin and the perfectionist job Dr. Rice did made them look absolutely perfect! My oldest son, my husband and I have all had our teeth cleaned there as well, and their hygienists are all excellent and very gentle with wonderful suggestions to help with our home care.  This office also gave me the best toothbrushes I have ever had~what a difference it has made.  They just know all of the fine points and details that make a difference in the care of their patients.  All of their staff is so genuine and they do all that they can to make your dental experience the best ever.  I would highly recommend this office!

I’ve always hated going to the dentist. I get severe anxiety about being there, and even stress out about it weeks before my appointment! That’s how much of a baby I am when it comes to my teeth lol.

So when I had to get four teeth pulled and two bone grafts, I was feeling very..anxious? Scared. I was scared to death. I made my fear very apparent to Dr. Rice and he was so understanding. They even prescribed me a sedative to take before I even left the house. I really felt as though I was in good hands- the whole office was very reassuring prior to the surgery day. They even called to check in with me days before hand and give me a few words of encouragement.

I have to go back in a few months for implants, and this is probably the first time my entire life I’ve been comfortable with an upcoming dentist visit..and that’s saying a lot coming from me!

Thank you Dr. Rice and Staff!

Best. Dentist. Ever. Everyone is professional and friendly. They anticipated my questions about my insurance coverage and had the answers ready to go when I asked. They are excellent!

Dr. Taylor Rice and his staff were amazing! The office was comfortable and professional…I will definitely see Dr. Rice again!

I have been going to see Dr. Rice for many years now and have loved every visit! The office is beautiful and clean, I am never kept waiting, the staff is wonderful (including Tracy my hygienist), and Dr. Rice is professional and truly knows his craft. I highly recommend and have sent many people to Dr. Rice.

Yes,  Dr. Rice is as good as it gets! I have had extensive work on my teeth and Dr. Rice is so nice, gentle and truly an artist. All of the wonderful women from the office staff to the dental hygienists are so so nice and professional.All work performed at Rice Dentistry is exemplary!
