Are you accepting new patients?
Yes! We're actively welcoming new patients and families. Call (919) 781-8610 — we have appointments available as early as 7:30am Tuesday through Friday.
What happens at my first appointment?
Dr. Ricke begins every new patient visit by sitting with you personally to understand your needs. From there, we take digital X-rays, perform a thorough exam, and your hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth. You'll leave with a clear treatment plan and transparent cost estimates.
Do you see children?
Absolutely. We provide pediatric dental care starting from age 1 and love creating positive early dental experiences. We're a true family practice — kids through seniors, all under one roof.
How often should I visit the dentist?
Every patient is different. After your first exam, Dr. Ricke will place you on the recall schedule that fits your oral health needs — typically every 6 months, though some patients benefit from more frequent visits.

Do you offer Invisalign?
Yes, we're a licensed Invisalign provider. Call us to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ricke — he'll help determine if Invisalign is the right fit for you.
What cosmetic services do you offer?
We offer Invisalign, porcelain veneers, professional take-home teeth whitening (up to 6 shades brighter), and dental bonding. Call us to explore which option is right for your smile.
What is the atmosphere like?
At Lake Boone Dentistry, we want you to feel like family. We take time to get to know you as a person and work through any dental anxieties you may have. Our goal is for you to be a lifelong patient who is excited to recommend us to the people you care about.
