About Brident Dental & Orthodontics

Braces are a bigger focus here than at many dental offices, with several children in one family often in treatment together, though scheduling and billing draw frequent complaints.

Braces appear more often in these reviews than at typical dental offices, often for families bringing several children through treatment together. Brident is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces and retainers alongside routine dental care. Patients highlight detailed explanations of treatment plans and note gentle extractions and cleanings with little discomfort reported. Many reviews also describe long waits, canceled appointments, and unexpected bills that have become recurring frustrations.

This place was a disappointment, and very money hungry. If you want a fast and affordable emergency dentist this isn't the place EVEN with dental insurance.

I had a wonderful experience at AC Villarreal Dental Office! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made me comfortable right away. What really stood out was their attention to detail. The dentist and team took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was well cared for throughout my visit. I highly recommend AC Villarreal to anyone looking for professional, attentive, and friendly dental care!

They will do services without your consent and then bill you the full amount later…wayyy later. They performed services we explicitly asked them not to on multiple occasions and now almost two years later are sending us a bill for what the insurance didn’t cover. We were clear that we wanted to avoid what they insurance didn’t cover and yet they ignored us and performed those services without our knowledge or consent.

I do like the one on N. 10th St. Staff is friendly and respond to any questions. Also the orthodontist is nice and professional. However Ive been to the one on S.10th St. and they are not at all professional, they were rude to my son who went in for extractions of wisdom teeth and came out with a mouth full of blood. He was in immense pain, they didn't give him anything for swelling or pain. When I went to the pharmacy to pick up his prescription it wasn't even ready. They hadn't received the order. I didn't even speak to a nurse or dentist when I went in. The receptionist left me sketchy. She didn't know anything.
