Great experience at Dr. Griders. She really cares for her patients. I had a crown put in from start to finish 2. 5 hours. Then had preventative restorative solution after that was done.

The tooth with the crown feels great. Ate a great dinner, no food caught in between the tooth and the one before or behind. That's a first in decades!!! The crown was polished to luminescence! Beautiful job, excellent dentist, staff, everything. Thank you Dr. Grider so very, very much

Dr. Grider was great!! I can’t put it into words! I have a fear/phobia of dentists and have had awful past experiences. Her and her staff made me feel so comfortable and safe to express myself and ask questions. She took her time and made me feel like she was truly invested in making my experience there amazing and making my teeth healthier. She listened, answered, related, and went above and beyond to help me.

Not to mention the amazing financing opportunities they have. I wish I could give 100 stars. I’ve already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. Thank you to Dr. Grider and the rest of the amazing staff at Smile Brightly!!

The best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist. They got me in for an emergency visit on the same day even though I was a new patient. Doctor and Her staff do an excellent job at communicating exactly what they are doing throughout the whole process. They listen and take their time and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend this dentist.

10/10 dentist. The environment is relaxing and clean and professional. The employees are extremely nice and make you feel almost like you're friends! All employees inform you what they are doing, how and why. They even tell you what everything will cost before and after the appointment. The dental work is amazing! They numbed me with zero pain doing so.

I had laughing gas as i always do but here i even had to ask them to turn it down it was amazing. The work is clean and i have had zero complaints what so ever. They feel very open to ask questions i dont feel pushed to do anything. Amazing experience ive never made a review, but it was too good to be true!! THANK YOU!!
