Bright Smile Dental Care

I’m pretty gun shy when I go to the dentist, and I was surprised to see that this place had bad reviews. This is what I care about, and how it was delivered:
1. The Dentist and Nurses have a good bedside manner. They did not make me feel terrible about myself or tell me horrible things. They just told me the truth.
2. Cost: I only went in for an initial screening, and they did X-​Rays and everything for very cheap. The Dentist looked at the X-​Rays and inside my mouth and they used good quality, more modern equipment. All that together, it made me feel like I got quite a bit for my money and I was important to them and it was cheap. (My insurance never covers dental stuff.)
3. Having them send info to other dentists: Yup, and fast. Easily. That other guy apparently has something personal going on.
4. Easy to Schedule: I do not have to wait months for an appointment.

As of a few years ago, Dr. David Joseph took over Bright Smile Dental Care and I must say, the four times I have been to the dentist in the last two years have been the least painful of all my prior experiences. The staff was courteous and the doctor went over all possible options with me then left me to decide what I thought was best for me. I’ve had all my silver fillings replaced with white ones and it has completely changed my smile. My last visit, I had my teeth whitened and six months later, I am still getting complements on how white my smile is. Glad I found a great dentist. Highly recommended.

I wish I could leave negative stars for this place.
Let’s just say, this is a good place to train yourself to fight extreme torture techniques if you’d like to join the mafia or CIA, as they love to perform oral surgery without anesthesia or even enough Novocain. My sister, my step brother and myself have had TERRIBLE experiences here at the hands of a completely mental «dentist» –think Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors.
I was one of those freaks that LIKED going to the dentist. That is, until I had a wisdom tooth removed here. In the midst of me turning into a ball, wailing, shaking and screaming from the excruciating pain I was put in from not being under sedation of even remotely numb, the crazy wench kept saying «you don’t feel pain, just pressure.» I had to beg for her to even give me more Novocain.
If you are not a complete f-​ing mental patient, avoid this dentist at all cost, and their sister shop in El Cajon with the same rotating staff.
They did initiate me to a whole new realm of pain I had never before or since experienced and ruined me for dentistry for the rest of my life, so if you’d like to test your boundaries, here’s a good start.
*Note, this is left twice so you don’t get fooled into thinking that one location is alright. They both have the same staff rotating through.
