Your Family Dentist

In Brighton

We recommend visiting Brighton Healthy Smiles every six months for a routine cleaning and exam. However, patients with gum disease, a history of cavities, or other dental concerns may benefit from more frequent visits — every three to four months. Dr. Birchmeier or Dr. Coffey will recommend the ideal schedule for your individual needs.

We provide a comprehensive range of general dental services including routine cleanings and exams, dental X-rays, fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, tooth extractions, gum disease treatment, and oral cancer screenings. We collaborate closely with local specialists when additional care is needed, ensuring you receive seamless, coordinated treatment.

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) causes redness and bleeding; advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can lead to tooth loss. Treatment depends on severity and may include a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing, more frequent hygiene visits, or referral to a periodontist. Catching it early makes treatment much simpler — another reason regular checkups matter.

Absolutely. Our entire team at Brighton Healthy Smiles is trained to create a calm, compassionate environment. We take the time to listen to your concerns, explain every step of your treatment, and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Please let us know about any anxiety when you call — there are options to help make your visit as stress-free as possible.
