Enlighten Dental Care

Enlighten Dental Care is a well-established dental clinic located in Winston-Salem, NC, led by Dr. Daniel Driscoll, a highly experienced dentist who graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Doctorate in Dental Surgery. Dr. Driscoll furthered his expertise by achieving a fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in conjunction with the L.D. Pankey Dental Institute in Florida. The clinic operates with a vision of being a relationship-centered dental team that partners with individuals committed to a preventative mindset. Their primary goal is to provide appropriate, preventative treatment consistent with a patient's effort to preserve dental health and minimize expense. Enlighten Dental Care emphasizes equipping patients with the knowledge to maximize their oral health. Enlighten Dental Care offers a comprehensive suite of dental services, including preventive care, cleanings, and digital X-rays. They utilize advanced imaging technologies and provide various restorative and cosmetic treatments such as implant restoration (often completed the same day), dental bonding, teeth whitening (including the "Enlighten" system, known for its guaranteed Vita shade B1 results), veneers, bridges, crowns, dentures, and fillings. Additionally, they offer specialized treatments like TMJ therapy and treatment of gum disease. The practice is committed to patient comfort and safety, having undergone renovations to their front office space, adding plexiglass barriers, and upgrading their ventilation system with high MERV grade ceiling air filters to decrease aerosols. They have also transitioned to a paperless system by scanning 2200 patient charts. To streamline patient experience and maintain safety, they've implemented a system where all patient needs (scheduling, accounting, payments) are handled within the operatory room for a contactless departure. Daily COVID-19 screenings for both staff and patients are also in place. Beyond their clinical practice, Dr. Driscoll and the Enlighten Dental Care team are actively involved in dental ministry, including mission trips abroad, such as their successful first trip to Ecuador in 2023 with tentative plans for a return. Patient reviews consistently highlight the professionalism, friendliness, and excellent care provided by Dr. Driscoll and his team, with many praising the comfortable environment and effective treatments.
