Patients Love Riolo Orthodontics!
I had to get braces at 30 years old due to a bite alignment issue. Getting them done with Riolo Orthodonics was great because they offer lingual... braces, which attach to the back of your teeth and are basically invisible. You pay one upfront cost and all appointments and adjustments are included in the cost, so there's no hidden fees. Also the office and staff were very professional. I would recommend them!read more

People seem moved to write reviews when they're extremely happy or extremely unhappy with a practice. I fall into the first category. From start to... finish, Dr. Riolo was warm, friendly and thoughtful and went out of his way to provide excellent care. In the pre-vaccine Covid months, he opened his office after hours to help me protect my immuno-compromised husband. Later, when I flip-flopped on a decision to do restorative work--prolonging my orthodonture by six months--he didn't charge for the extra time. His focus was always on making sure I had the best possible outcome. The only negative in this whole process is I can't seem to stop smiling at my teeth in the mirror. I truly didn't imagine the outcome would be as good as it is.read more

It was a joy working with the entire Riolo Orthodontic team in Seattle! I am so pleased with the results of my lingual braces to correct an... adjustment to my teeth from an earlier orthodontic treatment as a teen. The procedures were made easy by the friendly Riolo team and their innovative suite of options, including SprintRay 3D technologies — and the lingual braces did not interfere with my ability to conduct my professional responsibilities that involved public speaking and high visible, in-person and virtual client interactions. I highly recommend anyone seeking orthodontic care to check out Riolo Orthodontics — you will find an exceptional patient experience with excellent dental results!read more

Dr Riolo and his staff are amazing. They provided a plan and cost up front, and it was better than they initially planned. They follow up and checked... in often, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The follow on support is also something I didn’t expect. Best Ortho in Seattle 😁.read more

Excellent professional and Human being! I was on vacation in Seattle and a bracket fell off. I´m from outside the US and I was worried on how... expensive would changing a bracket be. Dr. Riolo and his amazing staff didn´t charge me and did an amazing job so that my treatment wouldn´t be impacted. I made sure my dentist back home pays it off, and If I get to go back to Seattle longer I´d definately carry on my treatment with Dr. Riolo.read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Riolo for two years and have been very satisfied with his work. I have found him to be both an exceptionally competent... orthodontist and uncommonly caring professional. He is very skillful in maximizing patient comfort during orthodontic procedures. I should add that he takes the time needed to answer questions and discuss treatment matters in a way that is easy to understand and gives me confidence that my decisions about treatment options are well informed. Also, I have found Dr. Riolo's staff consistently friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Riolo and his staff.read more

I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Riolo and his staff. When I came highly referred to Dr. Riolo I was scared as I do not like the dentist or any... dental work. I was greeted by Kristy warmly and was immediately felt at home. Kristy could sense I was nervous and she went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and at place. When I finally met Dr. Riolo I was at ease. He is extremely professional and made my comfort his priority. He in detail examined me and detailed what my life with braces would be like. 12 months later I would not be more thankful. I felt out of place being an adult getting braces but once I had them I wanted to be an ally. I was always welcome and rooted on for the next step and for that I am forever grateful.read more

Look no further!! You will not find a more experienced, caring and thorough team than Dr. Riolo and his staff. From the first consultation it's clear... they lead the way in their industry and I'm so thankful to benefit from their passion.I'm a 30yo woman who wanted straight teeth but didn't want to shamelessly rock the braces look or deal with the hassle of invisalign. I didn't even know lingual braces (braces behind your teeth) were possible! Such a great decision and I would recommend it to anyone. The compliments I get on my smile now never get old. 🙂read more

We are tourists staying in Seattle before our Alaskan cruise. Yesterday we needed an emergency fix in our son’s invisible braces. We called dr.... Riolo’s clinic who agreed to see and help us with no appointment. Dr. Riolo was super nice and professional, fixed the problem in no time and we were on our way to continue our trip. Thank you so much for your kindness and expertise. Like our son said- I wish we had them back home. This is a reason to move to Seattle... totally recommended!!!!!!read more

Dr. Riolo and his staff did a wonderful job correcting my bite. I was skeptical as this was my third time getting braces, first as an adult. But,... the professional team at Dr. Riolo's office made the process smooth, painless and easy. I actually looked forward to my office visits because everyone is friendly, the office is beautiful and Dr. Riolo has a great sense of humor. Dr. Riolo is super approachable and super smart. I was worried that my recent diagnosis of periodontal disease would make it more difficult to straighten my bike. But, Dr. Riolo created a solution specifically for my situation and took great care of my teeth, gums and bite. I strongly recommend Dr. Riolo and his excellent team.read more

I've been to multiple orthodontists since age 9 (now 21), had headgear, expander and multiple braces through out the years and have not had an... experience with an orthodontist that has been as attentive or personable as Riolo's office. Absolutely, genuine, extremely detail oriented and wants nothing but what is best for his patients. I had many insecurities with my teeth and was ready to get complete veneers however, my dentist recommended me to see Riolo about braces and Invisalign beforehand. My issues with my teeth were not an easy fix and I've been consistently amazed and excited by the amount of detail and care he's put into my Ortho treatment the past year. My braces treatment required a lot of technique and close attention every appointment and it was very priceless that Dr.Riolo was nothing more than ready and excited to do it. His expertise has transformed my teeth and I actually don't need to think about getting veneers anymore which would've been much more costly. The office and the dental assistants are absolutely the loveliest and patient on answering all of my questions and making my appointments. Having had experiences with quite a few other orthodontists I'm super excited whenever I get the chance to recommend Dr. Riolo. For anyone looking for orthodontic treatment I know they'll be in the best care when I tell them about his office.read more

Dr. Riolo is awesome. We were visiting from Northern California and my sons permanent retainer came unattached on one side on the weekend. Dr. Riolo... responded promptly via e-mail during the weekend and set up an appointment at 9am Monday to be seen. We filled out the heath questionnaire online prior to coming in and Dr. Riolo resolved the issue perfectly. He is a life saver.read more

As an orthodontist treated by another orthodontist, I must say that I received nothing but high quality care. If you are looking for an experienced,... detail oriented orthodontist who delivers excellent treatment quality I highly recommend Dr Riolo. With his clinical and teaching experience, attentiveness and being a good listener he makes sure your concerns are being addressed properly. Additionally, I must admire him for staying up-to-date with the latest technology that helps deliver better treatment. He utilizes a variety of treatment techniques which allows him to deliver fine customized treatment for each patient.My 1.5 year treatment was recently completed and my bite feels much better. I am very happy that I proceeded with the treatment and chose him as my orthodontist. Oftentimes, I consult my patients orthodontic cases with him and consider him an expert in the field of orthodontics.read more

I'm about to get my braces off, which means I've been going to Dr. Riolo's office for almost two years. Here are all the reasons I highly recommend... this place!1. Dr. Riolo does top-notch work. I'm not an orthodontist, so how do I know this? Well one time I was in London and a wire came loose. I went to see an orthodontist there to patch me up. When he was finished this British doctor told me how impressed he was at how my braces were set up, and to give Dr. Riolo his compliments. That's when I knew that Dr. R is at the top of his game.2. The office is super responsive at getting you in if something is bothering you. When you have braces, it's a fact of life that things come loose sometimes. Every single time this happened, they have gotten me in there in 24 or 48 hours max, even if I told them it wasn't that big of a deal. I seriously appreciate this. They make you feel like your well-being is a priority.3. The people in the office are incredibly friendly and fun. This is going to sound cheesy, but when I go in for an appointment it doesn't feel like a dentist appointment, it feels like I'm going to hang out with my friends. When you're going in every six weeks, this makes such a difference!So if you're thinking about braces in Seattle, definitely check this place out!read more
