Cleanings that fit a workday
Hygiene visits run Tuesday and Thursday until 7 PM, Fridays from 7 AM and Saturday mornings. A checkup visit takes an hour, door to door.
First visit by age one
Kids sit with a parent, count teeth with our mirror and go home with a sticker and a new brush. Sealants and fluoride are part of every kids' plan.
Whitening and Invisalign
Whitening is $399 in one visit. Invisalign starts with a free 3D scan, so you see your new smile on the screen before you decide.

Two dentists, one hygiene team, the same faces every visit.
Who you'll see
Dr. Maya Okafor trained at the University of Florida and opened Brightwater in 2019. Dr. Daniel Vo leads Invisalign and kids' visits. Every licence is on the team page.
What we use
Low-dose digital X-rays, a 3D cone-beam scanner for implants, and an iTero scanner, so there are no goopy impressions.
Questions we hear
Do you take my insurance?
We're in network with Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, Guardian and United Concordia PPO plans, plus the TRICARE Dental Program. We file Humana and other plans out of network. The booking tool above shows your estimate.
What does a first visit cost without insurance?
$435 at our published prices: exam, four bitewing X-rays, a panoramic X-ray and a cleaning. On the adult Brightwater Plan it's included in your $29 monthly fee.
How late are you open?
Tuesday and Thursday until 7 PM, with the last first visit starting at 5:30. Saturday 8 AM to 1 PM. Friday we open at 7 AM.
I haven't been to a dentist in years. Will I get a lecture?
No. We'll ask what you'd like to fix first, show you the photos, and give you a plan you can do in your own order.
Can I get nitrous or something for nerves?
Yes. Nitrous oxide is $65 a visit and wears off in minutes, so you can drive yourself home. Tell us when you book.
Do you see kids?
From the first tooth. Dr. Vo sees kids Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings, so school days stay whole.
Where do I park?
Free lot behind the building, entrance on West Euclid Avenue. The door is step-free.
Rather we call you?
Leave a number and a good time. Carmen calls back the same business day, usually within two hours.
