Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with synthetic structures anchored to the jawbone. They provide a durable foundation for artificial teeth or bridges, restoring function and aesthetics. Our team ensures precise placement for long-term success.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses stained or discolored teeth by removing surface stains and brightening the smile. We use advanced techniques to achieve lasting results while minimizing sensitivity.
Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges repair damaged or missing teeth with custom-made caps and replacements. Crowns restore strength after procedures like root canals, while bridges fill gaps to maintain proper bite alignment.
Veneers
Veneers improve tooth appearance with thin porcelain or plastic shells bonded to the front surface. They correct discoloration, chips, and misalignment, creating a natural, uniform smile.
Preventive Care
Preventive care includes regular exams, cleanings, and education to maintain oral health. Early detection of issues like cavities or gum disease ensures timely intervention and long-term wellness.

Rice Dental is one of the most trustworthy and conscientious medical offices Ive ever dealt with. Dr. Scott is a fantastic dentist who does great work and she has incredible bedside manner. However, their administrative team is the real star of the show. Jackie works harder than anyone Ive ever met in a medical office to stay in touch with their patients and give transparent information about insurance. Shes a great communicator, and has helped my wife and I with getting information to other practices and all around made paperwork and insurance easy. I highly recommend them.

I have been going to Rice Dental since it opened, and I have been happy to refer many friends and family. The staff is warm and professional to work with, and the office is cozy and charming - such a great location in the middle of downtown Bernardsville!

Dr Rice said I had too many teeth to clean all at once so I had to come back twice for a deep clean. When I got the bill for which they claimed to have done multiple procedures after insurance, the assistant said Your insurance is weird and proceeded to tell me that she will send the invoice to collection if I didnt pay. Not a great place to get your teeth cleaned

Recently started going to Rice Dental. It's a great practice located close to the Bernardsville Library. I'm very nervous when I go to the dentist and Dr Rice and her staff are great at making you feel comfortable. The dental equipment is new and the whole experience is wonderful!

I highly recommend Rice Dental. I initially saw Dr. Rice with a painful emergency, and I’ve now become a regular patient. She has a very high level of patient care, ensuring that you are comfortable and your teeth are in excellent condition. She is extremely professional, kind, and competent.

We moved to the area and I searched for a good while before finding Dr. Rice. Well worth the wait! Dr. Rice is an incredible dentist. I needed some work done to get my teeth healthy and Dr. Rice created a dental plan for me. She went through everything to ensure that I understood the treatments. For the first time in many years, my teeth are pain free! Dr. Rice is very approachable and answered my many questions about my teeth. I'm also doing Invisalign and very happy with the results so far.
