Get to know Dentist Dr. Robert L. Rioseco, who serves patients in West Harrison, New York.

A top professional in the field of dentistry, Dr. Rioseco is the Director of The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, a teaching facility for advanced cosmetic dentistry and hands-on training in East White Plains (West Harrison), New York. His teaching interests include cosmetic dentistry, dental technology, and design in the dental office. 

Using the latest technology and techniques, Dr. Rioseco can improve oral health, restore dental function, and create beautiful smiles. He is receptive to each patient’s unique concerns and develops customized treatment plans tailored to meeting their needs and achieving their goals. Whether you are considering tooth replacement with dental implants, or cosmetic enhancement with high-quality porcelain veneers, his precise planning and masterful artistry can deliver superior results. His exceptional degree of skill, advanced training, and more than 20 years of experience make him qualified to perform a range of dental procedures, from simple and routine treatments to complex full mouth reconstructions.

“I really enjoy full mouth rehabilitation and high-end aesthetic cases. These are cases where the damage is severe and the results can be the most transforming for the patient. To regain your smile is to regain confidence in yourself. These cases can be life-changing for the patient and very rewarding for me and my team” stated Dr. Rioseco. 

At The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, his philosophy focuses on providing comprehensive diagnosis and care. For each patient, he creates a complete profile that includes all of their dental needs and desires. Next, he encourages them to choose a manageable timeline for completing the treatment plan. Sometimes, a patient may opt to finish a treatment regimen very quickly, and other times, it may be more feasible for them to complete it in a phased approach. After a patient’s initial visit, Dr. Rioseco’s ultimate goal is for them to come away with a complete assessment of their current challenges and what it will take to bring them to optimal dental health, function, and aesthetics.

“Here at the Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, we do all phases of general dentistry. One minute we could be performing a smile makeover with porcelain dental veneers and crowns, and the next minute we may be doing Invisalign®, checkups, or fillings for kids and adults. It’s a clinical potpourri all day long!” expressed the doctor. 

Back in 1991, Dr. Rioseco graduated with his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Prior to receiving his DMD, he earned his undergraduate degree from Boston College, studying Biology and Studio Art, with a concentration in Photography. After dental school, he completed a General Practice Residency at New York Medical College in 1992, and completed Masters Level training at the Rosenthal Institute of Cosmetic Dentistry at New York University. 

Involved in many prominent professional organizations, he is an Accredited Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (a distinction he earned in 2019), a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, a founding former Board Member of the Empire State Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and an active member of the American Dental Association. He is also a CEREC® mentor and team teacher at the CEREC® Center in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In 2018, The Center for Cosmetic Dentistry was honored to receive the Best of West Harrison Award in the “Cosmetic Dentist” category. Each year, the West Harrison Award Program announces the businesses that have had the greatest positive impact on the local community within their business category.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.  

In his spare time, Dr. Rioseco enjoys spending time with his two children and is active in church music and fine-art photography. He has also done a couple of international medical missions, which provide care for patients in need and education for local professionals.
