In the Chair
What Patients Can Expect From Dr. Coleman
Implants, From Plan to Final Tooth
Implants are placed and restored here, in one office. Most of the time, each doctor treats his own patients; on larger or complex cases, Dr. Rice often handles the surgical side and Dr. Coleman the restorations: the crowns, bridges and dentures you see when you smile.
Cosmetic Work Planned Around You
Veneers, bonding, whitening and full smile makeovers, planned around what you want to change.
Care for Nervous Patients
He’s certified in oral conscious sedation, so a nervous patient can start without a needle. Nitrous oxide is available too, and for cases that need IV sedation, an anesthesiologist comes in. Tell us you’re nervous when you schedule.
A Video Answer Before You Visit
He records every Virtual Smile Consult himself. Send a photo of your smile, and he’ll send back a personal video with his recommendations.

Dr. John Coleman and his staff are simple the Best. NO KA OI.
I could not be more pleased with Dr. Rice’s care of my long overdue dental treatment. I knew I could trust his recommendations from our first consultation. He did a wonderful job of attending to the work with patience for my fear, he and his staff have treated me to the most kindness and professionalism I could have ever asked for. My mouth is pain free for the first time in a couple of years and it has made a world of difference. I don’t think anyone should go anywhere else for their dental concerns. I am glad I was referred by a friend and would recommend Dr. Rice and his support staff at Coleman Dentistry very highly.
Such a great experience! I have always been terrified of going to the dentist. They were so nice and professional. Made getting a filling an easy and comfortable time. And a big shout out to Imani!!! She was awesome and made my day 🙂
From the front office to the hygienist to the Doctor, this place is top notch. Amazing customer service and attention to detail. I don’t like going to the dentist but Coleman Denistry makes it less stressful.
I ( we) have been to many dentists ( dental offices) over the years. This one is exceptional in every way. Starting with absolutely lovely people from the dentists to all the staff. They leave no stone unturned to make patients feel welcome, comfortable, and cared about. And the dental work and care is the best I have Ever experienced. I don’t even live in the area any more, yet I return. Believe me other dental practices and staff could take a lesson ( or two) from this one. Such a blessing. I am grateful.
