SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Nora Peace, Dr. Nikki Peace, Dr. Arnold Peace, Dr. Ian Peace A Family Dental Practice Where PATIENTS COME W ith a completed building addition and Dr. Ian Peace in place, seeing patients and helping Dr. Arnie Peace, the last phase of Peace Dental’s burgeoning growth will be set this summer: Dr. Nikki Peace. Nikki, like her brother, is a North Allegheny graduate who completed her undergrad at Case Western Reserve University and she will be completing her doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Dental Medicine in May. She and Ian will focus on future technology upgrades to the practice in addition to their own patient caseloads and dental charity missions to impoverished countries like Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Since 1992, Dr. Arnold Peace has been perfecting smiles for patients in Glenshaw and the surrounding area. Twenty-six years later, that practice continues to grow, literally, with a new addition and the next generation. Dr. Peace also bought the building next door to enlarge the parking available and accommodate his wife Nora Curly Peace’s law practice. The addition provided four more dental chairs to the existing five, for a total of nine. Administrative offices are located on the house’s second floor. If the setup sounds quaint, that’s because being the neighborhood dentist is what Dr. Peace set out to accomplish when he first started. “We describe ourselves as a neighborhood family practice, serving everyone from age 1 to 100,” Nora says. “When we first started out, Dr. Peace mainly handled emergency cases because a lot of practices weren’t. It was a hectic schedule, but he ended up with a lot of great, lifelong patients because of it. Because of that start, we continue to handle emergency patients, but have also kept a flexible, patient- FIRST. friendly schedule with evening hours four days a week, and we are open three Saturdays a month.” Other modern, customer service-oriented Peace Dental perks include convenient online self-booking of appointments, so you can make appointments for the whole family any time of day from wherever you happen to be. The practice also provides patients with secure online access to their ledger balances. Patients can pay bills online, and fill out new-patient and existing-patient forms anywhere there is internet access. They can also choose to be reminded of upcoming appointments via email or text. Inside the examination room, Peace Dental provides patients with safer, digital X-ray technology. If you do not have dental insurance, obtaining dental care is no problem at Peace Dental.
