Overview
Risas Dental and Braces runs a chain of clinics offering general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and oral surgery across Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas. Patients receive care through a mix of widely accepted insurance plans, a Friends of Risas membership for uninsured customers, and in-house payment plans with no credit checks. Its prices are 30-40% below the industry average, and clinics provide extended hours, including Saturdays, to improve access. The company combines a strong charitable program, such as the Labor of Love event delivering millions in free care, with a mission to expand affordable, high-quality dental services for underserved and self-pay communities.
