From our families

What Manhattan Families Are Saying

My toddler’s first dental appointment was a big success thanks to Dr. Corielli. Her expertise and warm personal touch put us at ease. We look forward to future visits!

New Patient

Dr. Charlotte did my Invisalign. She made the process comfortable and enjoyable. I love my teeth now and can’t stop smiling. Highly recommend.

Orthodontic Patient

The kids feel right at home at Bright Healthy Smiles and the staff helps with insurance. I don’t stress about appointments anymore.

Relaxed Parent

The whole team is always friendly, professional and never pushy. We ive over 1 hour from their office but that's worth it.

Christian D

The whole visit is wonderfully thoughtful. You feel cared for, from the child’s psychological experience to a badly needed coffee for the parent. The team is superb and they pay attention to dental emergencies immediately. Comfort knowing your child’s teeth are in the best hands.

Happy Parent

As a mother of five, including a special‑needs daughter, I’ve never had better care. The staff explain everything and treat each child gently. Dr. Corielli calmed my three‑year‑old while extracting her tooth. The new uptown office has iPads and high‑definition screens. We always feel welcome.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some of the most common questions parents ask before visiting Bright Healthy Smiles.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling a child’s first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish healthy habits and allow parents to receive guidance on development, nutrition, and prevention.

Yes. We provide developmental orthodontic evaluations and monitor growth patterns as children develop. Early evaluations can help identify concerns and determine whether treatment may be beneficial now or later.

Not at all. While a large part of our practice is focused on children and adolescents, orthodontic treatment works well at any age, since healthy teeth can be moved safely whenever the surrounding bone and gums are in good condition. We offer adult patients the same range of options — including clear aligners and traditional braces — and will walk you through what’s realistic for your bite, timeline, and goals before recommending a plan.

We take a patient, child-centered approach that prioritizes trust and emotional safety. We move at each child’s pace, explain what to expect, and focus on creating positive experiences that build confidence over time.

Absolutely. We care for infants, toddlers, children, and teens. Our team is specially trained to provide age-appropriate care and guidance throughout every stage of development.

Our office is located at 1317 Third Avenue, 6th Floor, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side between East 75th and East 76th Streets. We are conveniently accessible from Lenox Hill, Yorkville, and surrounding neighborhoods.
