About Us
Deanne M. Rife, D.M.D.
An
LVI trained Dentist.
Dr.
Rife brings to our practice a rare combination of well-rounded
medical knowledge and well-developed aesthetic sensitivity.
Much of this is attributable to her wealth of training and
experience, having earned degrees and pursued clinical practice
in intensive care nursing, dental assisting, dental hygiene,
and for the past 11 years, cosmetic restorative dentistry.
She earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine degree in 1991
from the University of Florida.
Dr. Rife continues to add to this education, obtaining
not only a specialized knowledge of the teeth, gums, and bite,
but also gaining a clear understanding of the esthetic proportions
of the human face. She pursues these studies at the Advanced
Post-Graduate level at the Las Vegas Institute—the country's
premier cosmetic dentistry training center. Dr. Rife is certified
in the use of dental lasers, and holds membership with the
Academy of Laser Dentistry; she is also a member of the American
Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and travels nation wide to
stay informed about other modern dental advances and techniques.
But even beyond her broad base of medical knowledge, Dr.
Rife possesses an inherent passion and skill for the artistic
aspect of dentistry. These are qualities that simply can't
be taught, but which impact the beauty and balance of every
smile she creates.
Dr. Rife is married to husband Eric, a pediatric anesthesiologist.
Her daughter Heather received her Masters in International Business
& undergraduate degree from the University of Florida, Go Gators!
She is currently teaching French at Orlando area High School.
