I had been thinking of finding a new dentist for quite a while, but just hadn’t really gotten around to it. Then I heard a radio commercial for Brighter Dental, which said that one of their offices was in Skillman. That got my attention immediately, since it’s pretty close to my home. I then checked out their website, read a few notes from other patients, and thought it sounded promising.\r
I made an appointment for an initial consult, and off I went. First of all, the office itself is brand new and beautiful. The space is all very open, and very appealing. Front desk staff members, especially Kelly, are helpful and pleasant. I immediately felt I would like it there. Then I met with Dr. Singer, who was quite cordial yet professional. He did an initial exam, asked some questions, had x-rays taken, and then we reviewed my situation. Turns out I needed quite a bit of work, including root canals, extractions, implants.\r
Needless to say, this wasn’t great news. However, Dr. Singer took the time to break it all down for me, explain what was a priority and why, and set out a time frame for how to get all of this work done. He also discussed the costs involved, and then Kelly followed up on that with an explanation of the option of Care Credit—very helpful for making monthly payments.\r
I’m now almost at the end of all the work, and I have to say that, in spite of the obvious discomforts associated with extensive dental work, it’s been a positive experience. All the staff members are great—friendly, reassuring. They really went out of their way to put me at ease with each step of the process. I always felt that if I needed to ask someone to stop, or let me take a break for a second, they’d know it and accommodate that request. \r
If I needed to get back in for an adjustment or if I called with a question, both were quickly addressed. I received good followup care instructions, prescriptions, and lots of reassurance all along the way. Also, Dr. Singer knew that I was planning a vacation in the midst of all my work, and did his best to at least get my teeth to a point where I wouldn’t have to worry while I was away.\r
Probably one of the best things about this practice is the fact that every specialist is located in the same office. I really hate having to go from one specialist to another for various procedures. You don’t really know them, you’re probably never going to see them again, and it’s just weird. But at Brighter Dental, all the specialists are there, which means the support staff is the same and you really get to know them!! That made a huge difference to me.\r
There’s no question that I would recommend this group to anyone who asked for a referral. It’s a relief to have found a practice that’s reliable, professional, and really pleasant, all packaged in a clean, bright space. Perfect combination!!\r
