The SPACE Framework for Phased Care
We designed the SPACE Framework to provide a clear path for your health, at a pace that works for you.
Stabilize
We start with stabilizing your most urgent dental needs, such as any active infection or broken teeth.
Purify
We purify and protect your smile by reducing microbial/bacterial load that causes inflammation. We used advanced Ozone Therapy to naturally disinfect and promote healing for your teeth and gums.
Align & Airway
Rise Dental offers screening for function/bite, as well as 3D airway evaluation to help teeth and joints work together for optimal, long-term function.
Confidence
At this phase, we discuss how to help improve confidence in your smile. We use biomimetic methods for tooth bonding and veneers to preseve your teeth's natural beauty. Discussions for improving tooth color, worn down or misshapen teeth, etc. are addressed at this stage.
Elevate
The final phase is Elevate, to support your lifestyle with a personalized recall rhythm, as well as any adjunctive treatments such as Botox or specialist referrals to help you find answers and connection.
A Clear, Intentional Path Forward
Your first visit is designed to help things make sense, prioritize what matters, and move forward in a way that feels steady and supportive.
Clarity
We take a comprehensive view so you can clearly understand what’s happening and how everything connects.
Intention
Together, we prioritize next steps based on risk, timing, and your personal goals.
Progress
Care is phased and paced so progress feels achievable, sustainable, and aligned with your life.
Simplifying care through transparent processes and pricing
After your comprehensive new patient visit, we review your plan, including going over insurance benefits. membership discounts, or financing options, if needed.
