I had a wonderful visit! I came in for a dental cleaning, and my teeth have never felt better — they’re beautifully clean, and the hygienist did an excellent job removing all the tartar and plaque with great care. From the front desk to the dentist, every staff member was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely caring. They answered all my questions and made me feel completely comfortable. I highly recommend this dental office!

Just had my second visit at Bright Now Dental in El Cerrito.
Wonderful staff and atmosphere. I’m very satisfied with my new dentist. She is so gentle and informative, and that goes a long way. My children are also very happy as well. Five stars all around.

First appointment, but less waiting would be ideal - 10:00 appointment, but didn’t get in until 10:20 or later. Front desk staff friendly.

Bright Now! Dental & Orthodontics are doing work on my mouth that I never had done before. Richmond Dental never offered to do a deep cleaning on my teeth.

Well I had another appointment with this dental office and let me say I was indeed scared as heck but my doctor and her assistant were very professional and made my experience way better than I expected....I felt safe and comfortable and they both took very good care of me. I will be returning to continue all my dental work completed at Bright Now Dental thank you and your entire staff and the receptionist in front office is truly a gem.

it was my first time going to this dentist and after i saw all the bad comments on the reviews i was somewhat wary. But i went on three occasions to the dentist office, and all three times everyone was very professional.The. first time it slipped my mind that i had to request the insurance to appoint me to that location, and the receptionist lady was really nice and helpful about it. on the other two times i two different dentist and assistants helped me and were really nice.

Over an hour wait In waiting room. Then another 15 in the chair. I’m ok with waiting but at least communicate with your patients that you’re running behind and offer some alternatives. The positive is that the doctor was professional with good bedside manner and thorough analysis.
