Our Dentist

 Dr. Rike was born and raised on Florida’s Space Coast and is proud to have returned to serve her hometown community after completing her education and training. She holds a degree in Molecular Biology and Microbiology from the University of Central Florida, graduating cum laude, and earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry. She went on to complete a hospital-based General Practice Residency at Oregon Health & Science University, where she deepened her understanding of the connection between oral and systemic health.

Her practice emphasizes prevention, education, and comprehensive care, empowering patients to see their oral health as an integral part of their overall well-being.

Known for her calm presence and gentle demeanor, Dr. Rike understands what it feels like to be on the other side of the chair. Having been a patient many times herself, she brings empathy and insight to every interaction—creating an environment where patients feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
