Spray, scrub, wipe repeat. Its our new favorite sound. Weve always been committed to the highest safety standardsbut now deep cleaning is done before, during and after visits even in the lobby. Our teams are geared up (literally watch the video) to sanitize equipment, chairs, tables, door handles, countertops etc. many times a day. And we dont stop there. PPE (think masks, gloves, gowns, and face shields) is worn by everyone in the office. Even patients get to take part by keeping masks on at all times except when being treated and doing a good disinfecting rinse before and after care.

Were checking to see if our patients (and staff) are healthy with a few questions and a temperature check every day, at every visit. Sounds a bit extreme? Youre right, extreme is good when it comes to patient safety and health.

If I can give zero stars I would just wait worst they diagnose the wrong tooth had to put a crown on it to only to find out I'm still in pain need a root canal specialist to find out it was in fact that I needed a root canal so I did the route canal now everything's fine on that tooth which they didn't have anything to do it 2 1/2 years later still in pain weekly from the tooth that they put the crown on wrong one that was not even needed on first place did not fit correctly causing pain on all my other teeth because never fit correctly in there the crown popped off I tried to schedule an appointment change my schedule around and they called me to say I'm not available after they offered me that date originally and I'll schedule later today meanwhile tooth is in pain can I eat or drink. issues every time my kids have an appointment they try to reschedule since before Covid and none of that b/s excuse The worst one is the Russian doctor while I was in pain she's recommending the read a Dr. Oz book on how to deal w stress and she is as dead serious no tact from that one. Do no put yourself in jeopardy with this joke of a place

I went to the San Marcos location for the first time a year ago and it was great but when they didn't have a hygienist I changed it to Escondido to get my cleaning. The first time was 6 months ago by the same lady and she did a horrible job and today I went again hoping they replaced her but it was the same lady and still a horrible job. Spent less than 20 maybe even 10 mins cleaning and pretty much did the same thing I do at home maybe even worse. Don't Waste your time or money. A proper cleaning should take about 40-45 mins.

This happened 3 times to my mom. We went in and waited an hour before someone in the office said they had an emergency patient so we waited and the dentist would take her in but not fully worked on my mom but pumped back and forth between patients. The second time, same reason, numbed my mom and worked on other patients till the med worn out and had to numb again. This time we waited 1 1/2hour before started on my mom and same old excuses, numb again and lied so they can worked on other patients and came back numb again. She thought my mom doesn't know anything so she made up stories. This time it took total of four hours to take 4 implants screws out( does this make any sense?). We paid a lot of money for a full bridge with implants which didn't fit correctly so it cracks/ chip not even 9 months. If they only concentrate on one patient at a time and do a good job instead of cash hungry trying to get a whole bunch of patients and do poorly for everyone. My mom doesn't say anything does not means she doesn't know. Have respect and honor your patients, value their time and their well being. Numbing a patient, let the medicine worn off and numb again is good for your patients? I don't think so... I'm really disappointed , I would give this review a zero

These places are springing up all over the place since medi cal reintroduced dental coverage! YOU don't need a bone graft! This a typical run of the mill medi-cal cash cow. Gouging and double dipping all day. Pay the extra money never see a dentist that takes medi cal unless it is the absolute last resort.

From the call center to the front desk, to the dentist's and the oral surgeon that is there once in a while are by far the most unprofessional group of people I have ever met. Call center-when making an appointment for my 15 month old daughter they assured me this office was one who does work with children her age. When I came in for the appointment, the dentist told me he didn't know what he could do for me given that their office doesn't work with children her age. Dentists-first time I saw her (Dr. Fossman) she gave me a list of things that need to be treated, the next time I came in the list was changed. It was odd to me because it involved removing 5 teeth(which needed to be taken out) but the thing that changed were the teeth they were planning on removing. When I asked about it, the doctor acted confused and said she'd never suggest the first option. Front desk-told me my insurance would cover my extractions, but when it was time to make the appointment they told me I HAD to have bone graphs put in (where my wisdom teeth would be pulled), and that it will be $3,500 out of pocket. By that point I decided to go see my former dentist in L.A. to double check their work, who informed me I should talk to the oral surgeon and get a better explanation because from his PROFESSIONAL standpoint the escondido bright now dental was attempting to perform a $3,500 bone graph that wasn't necessary. When I came in to see the oral surgeon she told me she wouldn't extract my teeth without the bone graph. Thank GOD I walked out of that office without doing it that day because I found another oral surgeon who CONFIRMED I did not need bone graphs, and my extractions were taken care of by my insurance. Please don't waste your time here. If you do, make sure you get a second opinion on ANYTHING they tell you that you "need". Oh and they won't give you a cleaning with out other things you "need" that your insurance doesn't cover first.

Terrible experience. I got my X-rays done by an extremely unhappy woman, had gums checked and teeth cleaned by a fantastic hygienist , but then sat in chair waiting for a Dr. to check x rays for almost an hour! I had to walk out at 4:50 because I'm a massage therapist and had an appt at 5:00. I started the appt at 2:45. That is an unacceptable amount of time for a routine visit! No apology, nothing was said. Never returning!!! I give one star for the hygienist.

Is zero stars possible? Please take your dental needs elsewhere. This company will try to get you to buy thousands in unneeded dental work and if you are going for braces, take 18 months longer than they quoted and try to charge you for the extended time frame. Save yourself the unnecessary expense and find another dentist.

I have been to a few dental locations and nothing speaks volumes like Bright Now Dental does. From the staff to how the doctor interacts with the patients the whole experience and care given is top notch. They understand what us the patients are going through and help accommodate accordingly. I am truly pleased to have trusted my care and cleaning to Bright Now Dental.

Pam did an AMAZING job on my temporary for my #12! My first two temps were faulty and broke within a week or two; Pam came up with a solution, made a new impression and temporary from scratch. Thank you for working overtime to ensure my tooth is protected. Much love
