Risas History

Going the Extra Mile for Every Smile
Find out how Risas Dental and Braces is different — discover our passion for affordable dental care, dedication to community service, and commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Risas was founded in 2011 with a mission to provide high-quality, affordable dentistry for underserved, hard-working people in the Southwest.

Our founders recognized that many local families were struggling to pay for basic dental care and that braces were often an unattainable luxury. Risas was formed to serve these patients. We believe every member of the community deserves accessible, quality care.

Our Caring 2nd Family Culture is what our teammates love most about working at Risas. We believe teammates and patients should be treated with respect, kindness and understanding. We live by the philosophy of always assuming good intentions and being quick to resolve conflicts and forgive.

We demonstrate generosity and compassion as a commitment to always go above and beyond for our patients.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Risas, we bring together people from diverse backgrounds, united by a common purpose: providing great, affordable dentistry to hardworking families.

While typical dental practices focus on dental insurance, Risas is committed to serving Self-Pay Patients who have limited alternatives, as well as those with insurance. Many of our Doctors and Teammates are bilingual, and we offer pay-in-full discounts and our own proprietary in-house payment plan so that everyone can have a great smile and a healthy mouth.

Just like the communities we serve, we take pride in fostering a welcoming and inclusive workplace where every Teammate and Doctor feels valued. We celebrate and respect everyone’s individual talents, knowledge, life experiences, and forms of self-expression. It is part of the unique culture that makes Risas who we are. You might even say it is a key ingredient in our secret sauce.

We appreciate every one of our Teammates and Doctors and go to great lengths to ensure everyone has an opportunity to thrive. We are committed to providing growth opportunities and a supportive environment where all Teammates and Doctors can develop and succeed.

Join Risas and help create healthier, happier communities - one smile at a time.

Programs That Make A Difference

At Risas Dental, we're serious about serving our communities. Throughout the year, we offer volunteer opportunities for teammates and host a variety of programs to benefit our neighbors:

Labor Of Love

Every Labor Day, all Risas locations open their doors to the community to provide free dental work. Since the program began, Risas has provided over $10 million of quality dental care at no cost to patients.

Mothers Day

Each May, patients can nominate a deserving mother to receive a free dental makeover. Every Risas location participates, making it possible to give a life-changing makeover to more than 25 moms across our markets.

Give To Grow

In every office, we empower our doctors and teammates to gift a “give to grow” to a patient which gives them free dental treatment. These gifts can be life-changing to patients and Risas is proud to give them.
