Dr. Lara Rice

Dr. Lara Rice was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in California. She earned a B.S. in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior from UC Davis before completing her DDS at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. That blend of science and dentistry shapes how she practices today: thoughtful, precise, and always centered on the person in the chair.

Dr. Lara Rice has completed advanced training in cosmetic and full-mouth reconstruction dentistry, as well as implantology. She’s also an expert in CEREC and digital dentistry, combining artistry with modern technology to deliver precise, beautiful results. Whether you’re refreshing a single tooth or rebuilding a complete smile, she takes the time to understand your goals first, then guides you through your options with honesty and clear communication. Her focus stays on comprehensive, patient-centered care that feels personal at every visit.

Beyond the practice, Dr. Lara Rice is a certified fitness instructor for High Fitness and Upbeat Barre, and that same energy carries into the rest of her life. When she’s not caring for smiles, you’ll find her hiking, traveling, dancing, or settling in with a good book.
