With a career spanning decades, Dr. Rice opened her practice in 1986, and over the years she’s built a reputation for both technical skill and warm, reassuring patient care. Outside the clinic, Dr. Rice is married to Jeff, and together they have three grown children: Haley, Hunter, and Hope. She has a love of theater, music, reading, and crafts (including jewelry making), and enjoys playing piano when she can. She’s also actively involved in her church and in charitable work, including long-standing support of AGAPE Nashville (now Morning Star Sanctuary), a shelter for victims of domestic violence.
We love exciting things as much as anyone. Your dental appointment doesn’t have to be one of them. Sometimes you come in, we catch up, take a careful look at everything, and find that your teeth are healthy, your gums are doing well, your bite feels comfortable, and the areas we have been monitoring haven’t changed. From our perspective, that’s a great appointment.
If misaligned, crowded, or crooked teeth keep you from smiling confidently, if you have a noticeable overbite or underbite, if it’s difficult to maintain a healthy smile because some of your teeth are too close together, then you should consider clear aligners. With clear aligners from Cool Springs Laser Dentistry, you can achieve a straight smile that looks and feels amazing.

If you or your partner is having trouble staying asleep, don’t be afraid. Keep reading to learn how we can help!
