Rifkin Dental

What Rifkin Dental does

Rifkin Dental is a privately held, dual-location dental practice headquartered in Yorktown Heights, New York, with a secondary office in Carmel, NY. Founded in 1985 by Dr. Richard Rifkin, the practice has served the Hudson Valley — specifically Westchester and Putnam counties — for over 35 years. Following the founder's passing, the practice continues to operate under the leadership of Dr. Allison Rifkin (FAGD) alongside nine other dental professionals spanning general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery. The patient base is mass-market, serving families and individuals of all ages from routine preventive care through specialized surgical procedures.

The practice delivers a comprehensive service portfolio of 19+ dental offerings, organized across preventive (cleanings, exams, fluoride), restorative (crowns, bridges, fillings, root canals, implants), cosmetic (veneers, whitening, Botox), surgical (extractions, oral surgery, wisdom teeth), orthodontic (Invisalign, braces, retainers), pediatric, periodontic, sedation, and emergency care. The technology stack is centered on iTERO intraoral scanning for digital impressions and BIOLASE Epic Hygiene diode laser for laser bacterial reduction and periodontal therapy — both standard equipment categories in mid-to-upper-tier dental practices rather than proprietary platforms. There is no patient-facing software product, no API, and no disclosed technology integrations beyond third-party online booking (Modento) and payment processing (BestCard).

The business model is direct-to-consumer fee-for-service, supplemented by an in-house Dental Membership Club (monthly subscription) targeting uninsured patients. New patient acquisition runs through online booking, phone, and walk-ins, with promotional pricing disclosed at $289 for adult new-patient specials and $199 for pediatric specials. Marketing is local and multi-channel — Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and an active blog — all serving top-of-funnel awareness within a defined Hudson Valley radius. The practice carries no disclosed debt, no parent company, no private equity investment, and no funding history; it operates as a traditional independent dental service business with no subscription SaaS or platform economics.
