Real shot this week of Dr Rife getting her teeth cleaning by hygienist Stephanie.

In our office you’ll be sure to get dental advice that we follow ourselves and recommend to our family and friends.

The best way to prevent major dental issues to catch them early with regular check up and cleanings.

Even when you brush your teeth daily there is a lot that home brushing misses that your hygienist will be sure to clear out!

For people with generally healthy teeth and gums the recommendation is to come 2x a year. If you have a history of gum issues you be recommended to come 3-4x.

Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss leading to lost teeth, extractions, partials and dentures.

All dental insurance covers 2 cleanings a year.

When if you don’t have insurnace we offer in office discount plan that includes cleanings, X-rays, and discount fees on all basic and major dental services.

The end of the year is a busy time for dentists due to people wanting to utilize annual benefits so be sure to lock in your spot soon!

Each year, our company chooses a cause to support—something that allows us to give back to our community and use our platform for something bigger than business.

This year, we are proud to support a nonprofit dedicated to mental health and su***de prevention.

Mental health affects individuals, families, friends, coworkers, and communities—often in ways we may never see. We believe that conversations about mental health matter, that asking for help should never carry shame, and that no one should feel like they have to struggle alone.

Our sponsorship is about more than making a donation. It’s about helping raise awareness, supporting resources for those who need them, and standing behind an organization working to make a meaningful difference. We are thankful a patient of ours shared her story with us and allowed us to join her in her own journey to spread awareness.

As a company, we are grateful for the community that supports us every day. Choosing a cause each year is one small way we can return that support and help bring attention to issues that deserve to be seen, heard, and talked about.

This year, we stand together for mental health, hope, and su***de prevention. 💚

You can join our team and walk with us on Dec 12th in Stuart Florida, or donate to a worthy cause through links we will be sharing.

Thanks for any support big or small!
