Risas Dental & Braces, a Phoenix-based healthcare company, is expanding its roots in Arizona and Colorado with its next Valley location confirmed to open next month at Westgate in Glendale.

Led by Managing Director Jeff Adams, Risas has been able to make a difference for communities by making proper oral care and flexible treatment options accessible and affordable for those who speak not only English, but Spanish as well. 
 
Risas launches into its new dental markets by hosting a grand opening celebration, providing free dental care for anyone who arrives before 9 a.m. These patients get to choose from one of four treatments including teeth cleaning, cavity filling, tooth extraction or a complete exam with X-rays. In addition to cleanings, fillings and exams, participants will receive an oral hygiene instruction. For those who may be in need of further treatment, Risas’ staff will provide follow-up communication and coordination of additional care regardless of each participant’s insurance status or financial situation.  
 
“We are looking forward to opening new locations over the next 10 months and beyond,” Adams said. “From our employee relations and our affordable and flexible treatment options to community involvement, we truly believe in the Risas philosophy and can’t wait to introduce it to more neighborhoods.”  
 
In addition to providing free dental care upon opening new locations, every Labor Day Risas hosts “Labor of Love,” offering free dental care at all locations. Since Risas’ first Labor of Love, and combined with grand openings and other community events, Risas has donated over 2.2 million dollars in dental care.  
 
“We give to grow,” Adams said. “We feel fortunate that we’re able to use our talents and resources to give back to the communities that support us every day of the year. To provide this to more communities and more people who need it the most – that is our ultimate goal.”
