About Dr. Rice Laser Periodontics & Implants

Dr. Rice Laser Periodontics & Implants operates on Tibbetts Street in the Magnolia Center area of Riverside, California. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Do periodontists place dental implants?
Many do, since implant placement sits naturally alongside their training in the gum and bone that support teeth. Whether a specific practice offers it is worth confirming directly.
Can a periodontist save a loose tooth?
Sometimes. If the looseness comes from bone loss around the tooth, deep cleaning and periodontal treatment can stabilise it, though the outcome depends on how much support has already been lost.
How can I look after my teeth between appointments?
Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth daily covers most of it. Limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount consumed.

Dr. Rice truly saved my career—and my confidence! As an educator and trainer, I spend my days in front of classrooms and conference rooms full of people, talking nonstop. Over time, my gums were receding, bone loss was becoming an issue, and honestly… my smile just didn’t reflect the professional I knew I was. It was embarrassing, and it started to affect my confidence in a big way. Enter Dr. Rice. With her incredible combination of skill, creativity, and genuine compassion, she walked me through a life-changing process. Thanks to her expertise, I was able to have implants placed without ever going a single day without teeth—something that meant everything to me given my profession. The bone grafting worked its magic, time did its part, and the results are nothing short of amazing. Today, I have a smile I’m proud of again. Even better, I’ve been able to continue growing in my career without worrying about how I look when I speak. Dr. Rice and her team didn’t just restore my smile—they gave me back my confidence. I’m beyond grateful. Thank you!

I'm 88 and have a lengthy dental history with many different dentists. My experience with Dr Rice was A++. Not only did my teeth matter, but I mattered. She took time to make sure I understood what is going on with my teeth and ensured I understood the process she used in pulling my tooth and its reconstruction. She made me feel completely comfortable. Staff was very professional in completing the initial testing procedures and very helpful in assisting me completing the computer intake form sitting at my side. Dr. Rice is the best and I recommend her highly and without reservation.

Dr rice is such a kind, thorough and honest person. I came here today with my 6 year old after being refered by my son’s dentist for gum recession. The office was short staffed but we were still greeted with a smile. Dr rice and her assistant still took their time in explaining, educating, assessing what my son needs at the moment and our game plan in the future. They were very patient with my son and made sure he was comfortable. My son thinks dr rice is the coolest person ever because she knows “6-7” - complete with hand gesture. Thank you so much for your kindness towards my son!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I absolutely would! The entire staff was incredibly kind and understanding. I came in feeling nervous and embarrassed about my teeth, but they put me at ease almost immediately. I had a laser deep cleaning with Nick, and his calm presence, encouraging words, and genuine care made such a difference. Not once did I feel judged, only supported and reassured. I’ve never felt so safe or trusting in a dentist’s office before. I truly can’t recommend this team enough!! They turned something I was dreading into a healing experience.

Dr. Rice and her team are incredible people that do amazing work! I was referred to Dr. Rice by my orthodontist and ended up doing a torus removal and osseous surgery. During my consultation, Jessica from the front desk helped me clearly understand what the procedure would cost and did everything in her power to work with my insurance so that the price was manageable. During my appointment, I had a small freak out in the chair (due to my own dental anxiety), but Dr. Rice stopped right away and was able to help me calm down and continually spoke words of encouragement and reassurance over me until I was done! I felt so loved and cared for by the whole staff from start to finish. Dr. Rice was even willing me meet with outside of normal office hours to check on my healing progress! I will forever sing the praises of this office 🙌🏽
