Easy to understand instructions. Dr Rice is easy going and a "straight shooter". He is there to fix your smile, not hit your bamk account all while able to explain things in detail. Staff is super friendly and calming with great bedside manners. Facility is clean and welcoming.

I recently had a consultation and extensive cleaning here and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well cared for. The team was kind, professional, and attentive at every step. They explained everything clearly and checked in often to make sure I was comfortable, and made what could have been a stressful Appointment feel surprisingly easy. I truly felt like I was in great hands, and my care was their top priority. And my teeth feel great! I recommend this office to anyone looking for a dentist who goes above and beyond.

Dr. Rice does excellent work and he wants it to be perfect every time. Everyone who works there seems to really care about the patients. They are especially good at helping people with dental phobia. Highly recommend!

I just started going to Dr. Rice’s office. I can honestly say I have never been more impressed by a dental practice than I am by this one. Everyone is kind, they are extremely professional, their equipment is high tech and they have the most comfortable chairs in the exam rooms. I don’t even like going to the dentist, but I’m looking forward to my next appointment here.

David A. Rice, DDS is a general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry practice located at 1972 Larkin Avenue in Elgin, Illinois. Dr. Rice has been serving the Elgin and St. Charles communities since 1986, and the practice also welcomes patients from South Elgin, Bartlett, Gilberts, and the wider Chicagoland area.

For patients considering dental implants, one distinctive feature of this practice is that oral surgery is performed in-house rather than referred out. According to the practice's website, Dr. Rice places dental implants, extracts impacted wisdom teeth, and performs bone grafts, sinus lifts, and gum grafts himself, and the office uses a platelet-based healing technique (PRGF-Endoret) intended to shorten recovery time. The practice states that it uses 3D imaging scanners, digital x-rays, and intraoral cameras, and it offers sedation dentistry, including IV and oral sedation, for most procedures to help anxious patients feel comfortable. The website also describes a whole-health, holistic approach to treatment planning and a Swiss-engineered Guided Biofilm Therapy system for dental cleanings.
The practice is led by Dr. David A. Rice, DDS, who graduated from the University of Illinois School of Dentistry, where he was named Outstanding Senior in Oral Medicine by the American Academy of Oral Medicine.
