Dr. Lori Rice is a native of Peoria, Illinois. In 1998, she graduated summa cum laude from Southern Adventist University with her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. She then married her best friend and strongest supporter, Matthew Rice. Together they headed west to the School of Dentistry at Loma Linda University, where Lori graduated top of her class in 2002 with her Degree of Dental Science. Dr. Rice started practicing dentistry right after graduation alongside her father, Dr. Robert Pollard, and the dedicated team at Pine Glen Dental. She is grateful for 10 wonderful years of working beside the best mentor in the world. In 2012, she bought the practice and took it to the next level while working under the same philosophy.
The practice was started as a family business and will always continue to be. It was built on the philosophy of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have done to you. It is because of this practice model that the Pine Glen Dental team continues to strive to give our loyal and wonderful patients the best possible dental treatment Peoria has to offer.
Dr. Rice and her husband have three beautiful daughters and two spoiled rotten German Shepherds. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, crafting, being involved with her church youth group, and traveling with her family for great memories.
I enjoy working with my hands and creating things. A great smile can change someones entire outlook on life and how patients feel about themselves. Not to mention that overall health can start with healthy teeth. Ive had patients cry tears of joy when they see their full mouth rehabilitation work completed. That joy brings me joy.

Absolutely amazing, will not go anywhere else. Office staff is always polite and professional; Dr George is amazing at what she does and always eases any dentist-related anxiety I have. Also very willing to answer questions as I have them!

Dr. Rice did a great diagnosing a crown that had some tiny high spots following a root canal and patch several months ago. It was causing some mild discomfort when chewing. By eliminating the small high spots, she made the crown feel normal again.

Dr. Rice is the kindest dentist on the planet, I think. She takes her job very seriously and it's comforting knowing the job is going to get done correctly with her. The staff, assistants, everyone is super friendly and it really is great if you have anxiety for dentistry. I don't think it's possible to have a better dental office than Pine Glen. They truly do care about you.

I highly recommend Pine Glen Dental. I called over 15 dental offices today needing to get an extraction and even had one place have me drive all the way to them just to tell me I need to reschedule after I left work early to go in the first place. So I called Pine Glen and the lady at the front desk was able to talk with Dr.George and get me in!! They excelled in every aspect of their work!! From the front office, the staff, and Dr. George, you all are awesome!!! Thank you so much for getting me in on short notice and getting me fixed up!!!

We love Pine Glen!! Office is clean and kid friendly!! Our 9 and 3 year old loved the hidden fort in the waiting area!! The hygienists were extremely friendly and made our kids feel comfortable. My husband and son saw Dr. George for their check ups and she is Amazing!! She is friendly, gentle and thorough. The staff puts the needs of the patients first and never make you feel like you have to get unnecessary treatments or procedures like some doctor's offices have in our past. Driving to Peoria from Normal is worth it, to get the treatment and care level that we had at Pine Glen!

I am a new patient. I shared with Dr George that i had anxiety because of past poor experiences with pain during procedures. She was calm, empathetic and managed my pain the whole time. Took frequent breaks for me and constantly asked how i was doing.The absolute best dental care i have ever received. Thank you Dr. George and Pine Glen Dental Group for your compassionate care and excellent experience.

Pine Glen Dental provides the best customized care for patients. I travel to Pine Glen in Peoria, all the way from Bloomington, IL for the excellent care. I love Dr. Lakshmi Ramesh, who is phenomenal when it comes to taking care of patients. Her extensive experience, up to date with latest technologies and providing the best solution to the problem makes her one of the best Dentists in Peoria and in Central Illinois. She goes above and beyond to help her patients, always available to answer any questions, and provide guidance. She also consults with specialists if needed on the suggested treatment plan, and makes sure to take care of everything for the patient. The office staff at Pine Glen are very friendly, and provide appointments in situations of emergency right away. The office is very clean and nicely setup making it the best place for family dentistry.
