The Team

Meet the Bright Healthy Smiles Team

Yorkville parents often tell us the same thing: their child was nervous at the first appointment and asked when they could come back after the second. Eloise, our therapy dog, is a significant part of why that shift happens.

Board Certification

Board Certification — What It Actually Means

Not every practice that sees children is a genuine pediatric dental practice.

Board-certified pediatric dentists have completed two to three additional years of specialty training after dental school — focused on children’s development, behavior management, and the clinical needs of primary and mixed dentition. The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry maintains this certification.

Every pediatric dentist at Bright Healthy Smiles holds it. For Yorkville families looking for a true children’s dentist in Yorkville New York — not a generalist who happens to see kids — that is where to start.

Orthodontics Down the Street — Not Across Town

Most families looking for an orthodontist in Yorkville Manhattan expect a separate practice, a second intake, and a new relationship to build.

With us, it does not work that way. Our orthodontists share the office with our pediatric dentists. Your child’s development has been tracked from the start. When Phase 1, Invisalign First, or braces become appropriate, we are already deeply informed.

That is Yorkville pediatric dental care and orthodontic care done together — not referred out.

See our full orthodontic services for more detail on all available treatment options.
