About Brident Dental & Orthodontics

Whole families, sometimes several kids at once, come here for multi-year braces treatment under doctors like Dr. Jaffer, though scheduling and billing draw frequent complaints.

Brident Dental & Orthodontics is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces and retainers, and braces come up in reviews far more than at a typical office, often for entire families being treated together. Reviewers describe orthodontists such as Dr. Jaffer, Dr. Pushkareva, and Dr. Alreja as gentle and attentive, particularly with anxious or younger patients. At the same time, a large share of reviews describe long waits, rescheduled appointments, and billing disputes that stretch on for months, along with reports of pressure to accept extra procedures.

Poor communication. Extremely poor customer service and seems to be incapable of resolving billing discrepancies. Even my insurance representative made mention of how the supervisor was not paying attention to what he was explaining to her regarding incorrect billing. She was talking to people in the background while the insurance rep was explaining the issue to her. She then placed us on hold for nearly an hour before the insurance rep and I hung up the call. To this day there's still no resolution.

Excellent service and rapport. They were very amenable to any exceptions or questions I had about my braces, even over multiple years, the process was very smooth. 👍

Absolutely not. Sketchy for a bunch of reasons. It's very clear this place is a corporate cash grab hellscape. They want you to sign a form that says you can't take them to trial if they screw up. The call center scheduled me for the completely wrong thing. They're just trying to push those of us with crappy insurance through the doors for a profit. Bad vibes in the waiting room as well. Save yourself the trouble and do not go here.

I came in waited 2 hours to not have a single procedure done because they wanted to uncharge me other activities that had nothing to do with my visit. This place is predatory in its practice. How can you refuse general service based on my coverage because you are trying to force me to take a premium procedure.
