SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Peace Dental - A Family Dental Practice Where Patients Come First Waiting Room, 2016 S Office, 1992 ince 1992, Dr. Arnold Peace has been perfecting smiles for patients in Glenshaw and the surrounding area. And now, nearly 25 years later, that practice continues to grow, literally, with a new addition to the building the staff has called home all that time. “We built this practice from the ground up,” said Nora Peace, business development coordinator. “We bought the building, which used to be a house, and we started with one dental chair in the living room. Dr. Peace, who grew up on a farm, did most of the work of converting the house into offices himself, and, this spring, we’ll be breaking ground to put an addition off the back for more patient space.” The addition will add four more 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. The addition will also add room to the practice for two of Dr. Peace’s children who are currently in dental school, if and when they decide to join the practice after completing their education. “We describe ourselves as a neighborhood family practice, serving everyone from age one to 100,” Nora says. “When we first started out, Dr. Peace mainly handled emergency cases because a lot of practices were not. 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, Dr. Peace Grinding the Business Office Floor, 1992 Dr. Peace’s Son, Justin, Cutting and Dragging the Pine Tree From the Front of the Building, 1992 patient-friendly schedule with evening hours three days a week to accommodate everyone.” 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.
