About Bright Now! Dental & Orthodontics - Melbourne, FL

Braces and clear aligners come up often here, though cost, insurance billing, and treatment-plan consistency draw a mix of praise and complaints.

This is a general dental practice that also offers braces, clear aligners, TMJ treatment, and retainers, and braces come up more often in reviews here than at typical dental offices. Cost and insurance experiences vary widely, ranging from praised free consultations and payment plans to complaints of surprise charges and misrepresented coverage. Many reviews highlight gentle handling of nervous or fearful patients, including pain-free extractions and calm care for those with special needs. Dr. Dovale is mentioned frequently for explaining procedures step by step and working efficiently with assistants.

Most office employees are nice but some don't know what they are doing. One employee will tell you something then the next will tell you something completely different. Beware. They care more about your bank account than they do you. They fool you about how much your insurance company WILL PAY only to insist you pay more than you were told. This place has an "assembly line" of dentists. You don't see the same dentist twice.

The office staff were very polite & professional, after they checked me in, my wait was very short. Monica the dental hygienist was very polite & professional also. She explained what she was going to be doing during my cleaning. She deep cleaned my teeth & gums & I felt very little discomfort during the procedure. She kept checking with me to make sure I was ok & I told her I was fine. It was the best experience I’ve had at the dentist in a very long time. After she was done she chatted & joked around with me. I would definitely recommend Bright Now Dental of Melbourne for anyone looking for a new dentist office to go to.
