    Pro Flash! Best service and results that you can get!
    Katya F.

    To start off, I've been dedicated to Smiling Bright for the past couple of years and could not be more pleased with the consistent results I receive. David & Kimberly are not only experts on what they do, but they brighten up the place with their positive attitudes, professionalism, and the services they provide. I have received numerous compliments in regards to my smile and that is thanks to the Pro Flash service. Moreso, cleanliness is never an issue and their step to step guidance will help you correlate with what you both want and need. If you want to see results, and most importantly smile bright, then this is the place to go to! Thank you, David and Kimberly! You two are the best!

    David was very friendly and gracious - seems he gives everyone an 'upgrade' to Proflash, which according to his pricing chart is about $300 more than regular whitening (60 mins). He assisted me through the process of preparing myself before the lightening: Step 1) Swab gums with vitamin-e filled qtip. Make sure you place heavy coating particularly root of your teeth and inner lip. Step 2) Place plastic retractor in your mouth. Relax your cheeks and let it do its job. Step 3) He's going to show you how to use the whitening gel pen. I bought the 60 min option. It's broken down into 2 30 min sessions. My experience: The first 30 mins, I didn't have a problem with gum-burn, but the next 30 burnt a couple spots. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't tell much difference with results. With the Proflash, David said, I would be able to go up to 3-4 shades lighter (showing me the hues of teeth-model). He praised how white my teeth became, but I was visibly disappointed. My initial shade was in the upper quadrant of the scale, so maybe that's why I can't see a drastic change, but on the color scale, 2-3 shades whiter was definitely a stark contrast from my current shade. All in all, David is great, but for the price (even the Groupon price), you'll have greater results getting a bleach tray and whitening syringes from your dentist. Photos:

    Ehhh the 30 minute teeth whitening didn't make much of difference. I can see a little bit of change, but not much and it definitely did not do anything for the teeth on the side, which I was hoping it would. I could probably do the 1 hour and get more effect, but this process was a little painful for me. I already felt a little sting in my gums within the first few minutes. But I am surprise that it did not leave my teeth sensitive and I have quite the sensitive teeth!

    Really nice people, but a complete waste of $170. Really upset. Bought the "best package" and didn't do anything to my teeth.

I have some nerve sensitivity in/around my teeth and never had a painless cleaning before coming here, but Dr. Lee uses a newer cleaning technique with some sort of ultrasonic water jet I think instead of just scraping your teeth with metal the whole time. This new method is easily 10x less painful, and I'm sure it is also healthier for your teeth and gums. In time we will probably all be scratching our heads that metal picks were ever used as the primary tool for routine cleaning. It also is fantastic and uncommon that the dentist does routine cleanings himself instead of hiring another employee or a hygienist. I wish that I could find other doctors like Dr. Lee because it is so rare these days to find a medical professional you can contact and speak with directly when you have a problem, who answers you right away and takes on the responsibility of making sure you get the help you need even if it's an inconvenience. When I had an infection, Dr. Lee handled it immaculately and got me treatment right away even on his day off. If you have more complicated dental care and/or chronic conditions that complicate your dental care, Dr. Lee is a provider you can trust completely to integrate all the information and make good judgment calls for you. Finally, he is also a kind and generous healthcare provider. You will never feel judged or like a burden, and you will feel that he really genuinely cares about his patients.

Although my experience was lovely, as others have mentioned, it is astonishingly overpriced. I came in for a brief consultation (less than 30 minutes) and was charged $190.00. Sugar Fix's estimate on my basic dental work was over 200% higher than the price of the same work at another reputable dentist's office down the street that I recently consulted with. It is also atypical in that the cost of service is due up-front and out of pocket, to be later submitted to insurance for reimbursement (which I assume will decline to cover most of Dr. Dickinson's services, as it is apparent that she suggests whichever treatment is most expensive and/or cosmetic alternatives to optimize profit). If you are willing to pay thousands more at the dentist for a boutique atmosphere and a bottled water, I would highly recommend Sugar Fix. Once again, they are lovely, but the prices are laughable. I will personally be opting to forgo the $5 worth of freebies and will be going elsewhere to receive the same services for half as much (or next to nothing at dentists where insurance may actually be applied).

She makes me feel at ease because I'm confident I'm in good hands. Lastly, the office staff is great. They are friendly and organized and were able to get me in last minute today because I had some tooth sensitivity. I will continue to stick with Dr. Mullarkey and Cusp Dental even though I have to drive 30 minutes to get to their office. I'd definitely recommend them.

Before the appointment, Seida repeatedly assured me the office would submit a pre-estimate to insurance and only charge me my patient responsibility amount. After multiple calls with my insurance company, it was discovered Brighter Dental had been faxing the paperwork to the wrong number. The issue was finally corrected during a conference call with insurance and the office. Despite the pre-estimate being approved before my appointment, I was told by Seida and Luca that I had to pay the full amount upfront or they would not proceed. Seida claimed no memory of the aforementioned conference call, and I had no choice but to pay or remain untreated and in pain. At my follow-up appointment, insurance had already paid the claim electronically, but the office delayed reimbursing the overpayment and gave conflicting timelines for a refund. They also refused to refund the original credit card and insisted on mailing a check instead. After repeated vague promises and no reimbursement, I was forced to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Due to their refusal to honor the insurance allowed amounts, I overpaid by several hundred dollars. I later received a threatening letter accusing me of fraud because of the charge dispute, even though the office had still not refunded the overpayment at the time of the dispute. This was a disturbing experience.
