Our Dental Services

Yes — BrightSmile accepts most major dental insurance plans including Delta Dental, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, and United Concordia. We are in-network with many providers. Call our office and we will verify your benefits before your first appointment at no charge.

Most patients benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months. However, those with gum disease, a history of cavities, or certain medical conditions may need to visit every 3–4 months. During your first visit, Dr. Martinez will recommend a personalized recall schedule based on your oral health needs.

Absolutely. Professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist is very safe for the vast majority of patients. Our protocols use clinically tested concentrations with built-in sensitivity protection. Some patients experience mild, temporary tooth sensitivity after treatment, which resolves within 24–48 hours. We conduct a pre-whitening assessment to ensure you are a good candidate.

Call us immediately at (555) 391-4200 — we reserve same-day slots for emergencies every day. For a knocked-out tooth, gently rinse it without scrubbing, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and get to our office within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of reimplantation. For swelling or severe pain, over-the-counter ibuprofen can help while you are on the way.

Yes. We offer in-house financing with 0% interest for up to 12 months on qualifying treatments. We also accept CareCredit and LendingClub Patient Solutions for extended financing up to 60 months. Our team will walk you through all options during your consultation so you can choose the plan that fits your budget.

Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case. Mild corrections can be completed in as little as 6–9 months. Moderate cases typically take 12–18 months, and more complex movements may require 18–24 months. During your free Invisalign consultation, we use ClinCheck 3D software to show you a preview of your expected results and timeline before you commit.

Yes — digital X-rays emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, making them extremely safe for patients of all ages including children and pregnant women (though we take extra precautions during pregnancy). The radiation dose from a full-mouth digital X-ray series is comparable to a few hours of natural background radiation from the environment.

Absolutely — we are a true family practice and love seeing young patients! We recommend a child's first dental visit around their first birthday or when the first tooth erupts. Our team is specially trained to create a positive, fear-free environment for children. We offer dental sealants, fluoride treatments, and custom sports mouthguards for active kids.
