Dr. Kellye Rice Patient Reviews

When I moved to the Cool Springs area I knew I had to find a dentist that I would be comfortable with. I discovered Dr. Rice’s office through an advertisement that had a catchy slogan that was music to my ears, "with a woman’s touch" and I thought I would try them. Wow, I was impressed with their office, equipment and staff. I had not been to a dentist in 2 years and I thought I would have to go through a lot. But the staff really took care of my mouth, gums and cavities. I love the dentist of my choice, Dr. Kellye Rice! Thanks for a great experience.

My friends found Dr. Rice and were so happy with her. On their recommendation, I came to see her, and I found my home for dentistry! Dr. Rice is peaceful and caring. You feel calm and safe in her presence. She is professional and has done the most excellent work for me. Going to the dentist has been an anxious and uncomfortable experience for me until now. I look forward to going. I am greeted cheerfully, by name, from all the staff and this has changed my dental experience! Thank you!

I thought at the age of 78, I was pretty much done with much dental work. Sad to say I found I needed several crowns because of work done years ago would not allow me to whiten my teeth. Dr. Rice did four hours of work in one day and I expected to be very sore and hurting for a few days. I did not have to take any medication for pain and the next day I felt great. I was pleasantly surprised.

No Pain! No Discomfort!
The office is quiet and calm. I am welcomed into the office by my first name. I feel safe and valued. All questions are answered, even the ones I didn’t know to ask...everything is thoroughly explained. Dr. Rice and all of her staff are professional and personable. I am 60 years old and have been to my share of dentists. Dr. Rice is the best dentist I have been to and I am recommending her to all my friends.

Dr. Rice has been my dentist for 14 years, and she and her staff continue to impress me. She and her hygienists are gentle but thorough~two qualities you definitely want in a dental office! They will make you feel at ease while keeping you healthy. I highly recommend Dr. Rice and her staff.

I was skeptical at first thinking why do I need to have this Rotadent toothbrush. But after a week of using it, I really could tell a difference. After using the Rotadent brush every morning instead of my normal brush I felt like I had just gotten a cleaning from the dentist’s office! The Rotadent helped to restore the health of my teeth and gums and I’m glad that my dentist recommended the brush to me. It really turned out to be a great investment! My teeth and I are very happy!!! Thank you!

I have been wearing a splint at night and I feel that it has been one of the best things ever for me! I am no longer grinding my teeth at night. I feel refreshed and relaxed in the mornings. Thanks, Dr. Rice, for your expertise on how to handle my dental problem. Your are kind and understanding. I feel so wonderful knowing that I am getting better each day!

Dr. Rice, thank you so much for helping my mother-in-law while she was visiting. She had been quite miserable and felt much better after seeing you! We appreciate your kindness.

I had always been terrified of the dentist. This was my first visit in 2 years. Whenever I have visited the dentist before, pain was always an issue. Not this time! When I found out that I had to have 2 crowns I thought I was going to "freak out". Dr. Rice and her staff have been excellent. I no longer need valium or nitrous oxide. Due to my wonderful experience I would definitely follow up every 6 months which I hadn’t done in 10 years! I am new to the area and would advise those who have a fear of the dentist to give Dr. Rice a try.

A big THANK YOU to you and your staff for the excellent treatment I received. I appreciate you personally taking time from other patients to help get me into a more relaxed frame of mind. And despite my extreme anxiety, your assistants and all your staff were sympathetic, patient and kind. They worked hard to make me comfortable and feel less embarrassed. I was truly fortunate to be treated by such professionals.
Both my husband and I look forward to many years of receiving dental care from you and your staff.

"Before going to Dr. Rice’s office, I had not had my teeth cleaned for 1 ½ years. My mouth had a bad odor and my gums were swollen and bleeding. Once I got the deep cleaning and followed Elaine’s instructions, my mouth feels so much better and I smile more freely. The team at Dr. Rice’s office is so helpful and friendly. I have now found my new dental home!"

No one knows how much better I feel about my appearance after my teeth makeover than myself. For most part of my life, I was afraid to smile or even look at myself in the mirror. During my first visit to Dr. Rice’s office, I found myself surrounded by friendly and caring staff. Dr. Rice was so caring and attentive that I found everything I needed to make the final decision--everything from the details of the procedure, to the alternative financing available to cover the cost. I found out that I could change my appearance for life without painful suffering and complications. Today, my new teeth have boosted my confidence and improved the quality of my life. I have found new meaning for my life.

I have been going to Dr. Rice since 1990. She has taken care of all my dental needs: cleanings, sealants, cavities, gingivitis, crowns and whitening. While raising 3 children, I had left my mouth for last, making sure my children were taken care of first. When I started going to Dr. Rice I was embarrassed but desperate to have my mouth and teeth taken care of. Dr. Rice and her staff never made me feel ashamed of myself, but went about taking care of everything in a manner that made me feel good about myself--letting me know I was in "loving" and expert hands and that I was on the road to healthy hygiene. I hated going to the dentist growing up. Now I look forward to it. I know I’ll be in good hands with people who care about me and I’ll be visiting my "other" family.

I am writing to tell you how truly happy I have been with the dental treatment you have given me. The local anesthesia was so painless. You and your team have been wonderful at explaining and showing me, through your use of x-rays and models, the work I needed. From root planing, and now a crown and filling, I have left your office excited about how my teeth are feeling and looking. I wish I had come to you sooner. Thank you for your professionalism, great attitude, sense of humor, and most of all, providing me with this great dental work. I am grateful for your payment plan as well. It has made a difference between procrastination and taking action now.
