Peace Dental: A Family Dental Practice Where Patients Come First

Glenshaw, PA – Since 1992, Dr. Arnold Peace has been perfecting smiles for patients in Glenshaw and the surrounding area. Nearly 25 years later, that practice continues to grow with a new addition to the building the staff has called home for decades.

“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, 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 his 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. It will also add room in the practice for Dr. Peace’s children, both of whom are currently in dental school, if and when they decide to join the practice once they complete their education.

“We describe ourselves as a neighborhood family practice, serving everyone from age one to 100,” Nora said. “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-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, so patients can make appointments for the whole family, at any time of day, from wherever they are. 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 choose to be reminded of upcoming appointments via email or text message. Inside the examination room, Peace Dental provides patients with safer, digital X-ray technology.

If patients do not have dental insurance, obtaining dental care is no problem at Peace Dental. The popular Peace Dental Membership Plan allows patients to pre-pay for two annual exams and cleanings at a discounted cost. The plan also guarantees a discount on any other dental services required above and beyond the cleaning and checkups.
