When people think of dentistry. It’s safe to say that the same ol things come to mind. White coats, bright sterile lights, And the haunting sound of tiny drills, scraping against teeth. But If I ask you to change your perception and view dentistry as Artistry! Then we get to the personification of that with Risas Dental Clinic. The staff Is as friendly as a warm hug from a loved one. The professionalism, as if you were in a five star hotel. And the precision of a samurai slicing his sword. A name fitting for the place you find yourself in. Risas delivers as well as exceed expectations.

“

We went to Risas Dental & Braces because they advertise themselves as being affordable and fair with pricing, but our experience was disappointing. They seemed very focused on pushing braces. They suggested braces for my wife even though she had already had braces before, and once they realized that, they backed off. They also told me I needed braces because my teeth were worn down, but never really discussed that the wear could be from teeth grinding. Almost every other dentist I’ve seen has immediately recognized the grinding and talked to me about a night guard, so it was concerning that this wasn’t even brought up. We were also surprised that, as new patients, they didn’t do what felt like a thorough set of X-rays. Overall, the visit felt more sales-focused than focused on carefully evaluating what was actually going on with our teeth. They may be affordable compared with some places, but based on our experience, I wouldn’t personally go back.

Danna, without a doubt in many years of attending dental offices, this has been the most outstanding experience I’ve ever had. Risas Dental is friendly, hospitable, trustworthy and I highly recommend this Dental practice to anyone that is in need of dental services. I do not take my reviews lightly, and it is without a doubt the most honest and dependable review I have ever given it to any institution. You will not be disappointed with your experience; I can assure you it will be exceptional.

I want to take a moment to recognize someone truly special at Risas Dental on 6th Avenue, ALEJANDRA. She may not realize the impact she had on me today, but she gave me something I had been missing for a long time, my smile. More than that, she helped me feel confident about myself again. There are no words that can fully express how grateful I am for her kindness, compassion, talent, and dedication. Alejandra didn’t just do her job, she made a real difference in my life. She treated me with genuine care and made me feel valued every step of the way. The confidence and happiness she gave me today are gifts I will never forget 🥹. To the Risas management team- You have an incredible employee in Alejandra. She is caring, dedicated, talented, and truly goes above and beyond for her patients. People like her are the reason patients keep coming back and recommending your practice to others. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you and thank you Alejandra. What you did for me today means more than you will ever know. I will always be grateful.🥲 God bless you! 🙏🏻
