The office staff as well as the medical department are friendly, caring and professional. No one really likes to go to the dentist but they make it comfortably pleasant.

Launa Hoover is an exceptional dental hygienist! She was incredibly kind, thorough, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I sat down. She took her time to ensure my cleaning was done with great care and attention to detail, and my teeth have never felt so clean—they feel absolutely amazing! Launa is professional, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dental hygienist. Thank you, Launa, for such a wonderful experience!

Launa Hoover is the reason to come to BrightNow! Dental. She’s my dental hygienist and I request her every time. I make my appointment only to see her and if she’s not available on that day then I request another day. She’s efficient, gentle, thorough, and explains everything along the way. A true miracle worker. She can turn scary stained teeth into a beauty pageant smile. Highly recommend!

This was the best dental experience i’ve ever had, I definitely made the right choice coming here, before anything I gotta say that Dr. Omar Arreola did a phenomenal job on my last minute root canal, procedure was quick and easy. The rest of the team was great as well, I didn’t get names but the lady at the front desk was helpful, so was the manager and the dental assistant. I didn’t have insurance but they were able to work with me and set me on an affordable payment plan. I’ll most definitely be coming back here especially to get my smile fixed up, they showed that they genuinely care about you at this place and make you feel comfortable. Thank you & God bless Bright Now!

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Omar Arreola and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the moment I sat in the chair , he made me feel completely at ease with his calm and gentle approach. He really took his time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire visit. I came in with a chip tooth and also needed a filling.And the results exceeded my expectations. He did an incredible job restoring my tooth.It looks completely natural.And I can't even tell where the damage was. The filling was just as seamless and the whole process was smooth and painless. It is clear that he generally cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. If you are looking for a dentist who is skilled, patient, and attentive , I highly recommend him.

I noticed my teeth didn't get the extra attention they normally do three months ago when I was here. The regular hygienist wasn't there. Well Launa is back. She is the best. She takes her time, she explains what is happening in my mouth, and she flosses. My teeth always feel great when I leave her chair. 2/19/26
