My wife and I changed dentists because we moved and our old dentist, while doing good work, did not accept our insurance (Medicare).
Our first experience was today with BrightNow, and everyone we came into contact with was very nice. Explained everything our insurance covers, which will save us quite a bit in out of pockets expenses we had with our past dentist.
Dr. Henein was very through and nice. Our first experience with Digital X-Rays, which included a 360 degree image. Definitely 21st century technology combined with good old-fashioned courtesy and competence. If you live in the Carrollwood area, I’d think about seeing Dr. Henein and her very nice staff. North Dale Mabry location in Grand Plaza.

We’ve been patients here for many years. Dr. Henein, who’s the dentist now, goes out of her way to make the prognosis clear and to present all the options.

It was my first time going to a dentist 🦷 , mostly because I didn’t like all the noises but they put me at ease and talk me through the whole process so I could relax ☺️. I would recommend them to everyone I know.

I came in for a cleaning and got excellent treatment with the dental technician missing nothing and yet not going about the procedure roughly. As a matter of fact there were a couple of times I wanted to doze off in that comfortable chair.
Everything was explained very well, the procedure and the cost, before anything was done. I was left with no questions to ask.
The dentist was friendly and gave me a few tips to better clean my teeth in the future.
The facility was set up in a sanitary fashion in case COVID were to surge again. All employees wore masks and latex gloves and expected each customer to enter the premises with a face mask already on.

Update: I had to go in as a part of one tooth came out due to an old filling failure. The front desk supervisor was very helpful, scheduling me for the next day as the doctor was out then.
When I arrived I was immediately called in, X-rays were taken, a curative procedure (crown) was decided upon and I was set with a temporary crown. Since I’m retired and on a fixed income I was concerned about the overall cost but they worked with me, getting a six month interest free arrangement set up while eliminating labor and prep costs. Humana insurance only offers a small discount. All in all it was a very pleasant experience for an unpleasant occurrence.

2nd update: During a regular cleaning visit my dentist, Dr. Sandra S. Herein, found a cavity that was very close to the root canal of a tooth. She suggested it be handled at that time. I agreed and with a minimum of pain she accomplished it perfectly. It involved removing the root canal as well.
The procedure went smoothly also because she and the dental technician, Chris, were very knowledgeable and very thorough in what they did. They even had music of the 2000s on which put all of us in a good mood. Both of their ‘bedside’ manners were as good as they get.
I would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone else who is in need of dental work.

3rd Update: I had a temporary bridge for the replacement tooth set yesterday. This required shaping the amalgam of the tooth behind it. The entire process, including the elimination of a small surface cavity on the tooth in front, took as much time as it did for the novacaine to take effect. Everything went very smoothly with no pain. Chris fastened the temporary tooth and bridge well. If it proves to be as strong a bond as the temporary crown in my first post above there should be no concern of it coming loose. However, in the remote case that it could, he gave me two packets of Kerr’s Temp-Bond NE. The permanent bridge is scheduled for fitting in three weeks. Dr. Herein worked closely with me on finances, eliminating all costs but the actual product since I’m on a fixed income.

4th Update: My dentist, already solidly booked for the day, agreed to take me on with a diagnosed abcessed tooth. It was especially difficult in that it involved a molar, each of which has three roots. These were each quite thin. Nevertheless she deftly maneuvered through, did root canal work on each of them and got me fitted for a temporary crown, all of this while also handling her scheduled appointments. To say she is a dedicated professional is only touching the surface. I wouldn’t trade her for any other dentist unless one of us were to move away.

5th Update: The abcess recurred so I returned to my dentist. She said this often happens once an initial infection occurs. She recommended swirling warm water mixed with table salt over that side of my mouth for about thirty seconds twice a day after breakfast and before bed. This would help to draw out the infection. (I added ground ginger as an antibiotic.) She wanted to see me again in a month because if that treatment showed no results she would drain the infection. I was pleasantly surprised that a month later the pain and sensitivity had gone down considerably. To help matters along she also suggested using a whole clove and placing it over or near the abcess. That would help to relieve any remaining pain.

I had the pleasure of having Jorel Belarmino as my dental hygienist, and I couldn't be more impressed! He is incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain every step of the process and ensuring that I felt comfortable the entire time. Not only is he efficient, but he’s also very friendly, making the visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. It's clear that Jorel takes great pride in his work, and his ethical approach to patient care really stands out. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a top-notch dental hygienist!

Bright Now Dental is the best dental office I have been too in the last 5 years.
From the front desk to Dr Sandra and her assistant.
Dr Sandra is so patient and she listens to your needs and advice you accordingly. She explains exactly what is going on and the best approach to help the situation.
Thank you Dr Sandra!!

I came on here to say that every single person that works in this clinic is exceptional. They have been more than accommodating. Kathy is exceptional. Lei and dre are very kind girls who answered all my questions and are on top of their jobs. Now Dr.Sandra is remarkable. She has so much knowledge and you can ask her anything and she will explain for nicely and concisely. She has never ceased to put a smile on my face with her proficiency over the months I have been receiving my comprehensive care here. They truly truly cate for you and that's what proper patient care is all about. Very happy with my smile and i will continue receiving my dental here
