Brighter Dental Care

After my family and I relocated to the Hamilton area in the fall, we were faced with the tedious task of finding new doctors and dentists. The fact that my two teenage daughters needed both regular dental work as well as orthodontic, periodontic and endodontic work meant that we would probably need to find several dentists to cover all of our needs. While researching area dentists online, I came across Brighter Dental Care and I was surprised to find that they could take care of all our needs in one office. From our first cleaning visit in October we were made to feel comfortable and welcome in their beautiful Robbinsville office. The girls at the desk as well as all of the support staff in back are always very friendly and helpful. We have since started orthodontic work on my one daughter and completed periodontic and endodontic treatments on my second daughter and have found every dentists to be caring and very thorough. We are thrilled with all the care given and the girls actually look forward to their visits.

I didn?t hear about Brighter Dental through a testimonial, but instead chose them because they were the closest to my home and work. I had the mindset that ?if I don?t like the guy, I?ll go somewhere else.? Well, I still can?t believe how lucky I am to have made that choice! I showed up 5 minutes early for my first appointment & was in the chair at the actual time of my appointment! This already separated BD from every other doctor?s office I?ve seen. There was no scolding, no condescending attitude, and no ?shame on you.? He explained things very informally in a language easy to understand. He also broke things down into categories, such as ?what needs to be done ASAP? and ?what can wait a little while.? There was no pressure to have any of the procedures done, though. Although I was relieved to get thru the initial consult without a scolding, my mind immediately shifted to my next biggest concerns: how far do I have to travel for each procedure and how am I going to pay for this? The first concern was alleviated immediately by Dr. Singer, who said that all procedures were done at the same office. I couldn?t believe it! ! Before leaving that first appointment, one of the Brighter Dental assistants sat with me for 20min and discussed payment options. I visited Brighter Dental Care 8 times in 6 weeks for a variety of procedures: wisdom tooth extraction, cavity filling, cleaning, root canal, and crown placement. Each visit was a true pleasure, and I got to know all the staff at BDC pretty well. They were all very professional, but still very approachable. There are many reasons why I recommend Dr. Singer to my friends and colleagues.
I couldn?t be happier with the treatment I received from Dr. Singer and his group at Brighter Dental Care. My teeth look and feel great. Dr. Singer?s group went above and beyond to make my experience first class. I would highly recommend BDC to anyone looking for a great dentist with friendly and professional support staff.

I first learned of Brighter Dental as a prospect that I was trying to get radio advertising from. I called for months and finally got an appointment to sit down and learn about the practice and what types of advertising they were doing.

After many meetings and a thorough education on how the practice operated, Brighter Dental started advertising with me on WPST.

It was through this learning experience that I decided to switch dentists and go to Brighter Dental. Boy, am I glad! I have never been to a dentist?s office that was so beautiful and inviting!

After a complete check up, including X-rays, Dr. Singer shared what work I was in need of: a cleaning, of course, a new crown, and a wisdom tooth extracted. UGH!

I was treated at both the Robbinsville location and the Princeton location, though it didn?t matter where I was since everyone was friendly and attentive.

The wisdom tooth had to come out because it was pushing on another tooth. I was so afraid to have it done, having had a bad experience some years back. I was petrified, but reassured that everything would be fine. And it was!

The crown was a replacement of an old crown and was finished in a couple of visits. Each of the dentists that treated me are top notch- warm, friendly, compassionate and very caring. As old as I am, I am still a sacredy cat!

It was great to see the same friendly faces each time I walked in the door. It also didn?t hurt to be able to watch TV while the dentists and hygienists worked on me. It really takes your mind off of things.

Changing dentists is not easy to do but I would recommend Brighter Dental Care to anyone and everyone!

During my fight to beat breast cancer, I found that cancer treatments affect the entire body, including teeth and gums. Side effects of treatment included taste changes, dry mouth, and sores inside my mouth.
As soon as I was cleared by my oncologist, I made an appointment with Dr. Singer at Brighter Dental in Clementon. My first impression was that he was an intelligent and serious professional. I also found him to be caring, compassionate, and concerned with my wellbeing.
So, yes, I developed tooth decay, and needed to have cavities filled & root canal work. I needed a personal boost, so I decided to have some cosmetic work done also (whitening, veneers). Dr. Singer let me know what needed to be done, asked for my input on how to make me comfortable, and worked out a personalized treatment plan. The work gets done, I feel better. On one of my later checkups, I was informed that I had 3 small cavities near the gum line. Well, I started crying. All that kept racing through my mind was that I had battled cancer, was felling & looking well, but it was going to haunt me. I really thought all of my teeth were going to fall out. Dr. Singer was very kind about it all. He was obviously puzzled at my reaction (Crying over a cavity?!!). But I explained my fears to him. He calmed me down, assured me that he would take care of me, and that I would be fine.My visits at Dr. Singer?s office have done much to lift my self-esteem after going through cancer, being bald, and generally feeling bad!
I found the office to be well-kept. Brighter Dental has a vibrant & caring staff, always encouraging & supportive. The staff is cooperative, skilled, and very good at their jobs. I do note hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a new dental team. I have every confidence in their ability to care for me. I feel that Dr. Singer and his entire staff take responsibility for their patients and I have a great smile to prove it!

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA and had the same dentist all my adult life. As my life changed and I met the man of my dreams, I moved to Clementon, NJ. Because of my move to NJ, I found it difficult to continue to meet the available hours at my dental office in PA. Finally I gave up trying to go to PA and had not been to a dentist in about 3-5 years.

One day I received information about Brighter Dental via the mail, and was happy to see that it was located so close to my home. I discussed my thoughts with my husband Skip and decided to give Brighter Dental a call.

My feelings about the dentist were probably like that of most people. I would rather not, even though I know I needed to. So, as I drove to my first appointment knowing that I hadn?t seen a dentist in a long while, I expected the worst. To my joy and surprise my experience was one of friendliness and honesty. I was able that day to view the dentist office as a more pleasant place.

After the first visit I decided to have much needed extensive work done and was very pleased to say, life got better after my new dental implants were in place. Eating once again became a joy not a chore.

During the months preparing my mouth to receive the implants and the staff was very supportive. Abundance of kindness and support was also shown when my husband Skip was newly diagnosed with Leukemia.

Several months passed and my new dental implants were in place and the experience my good. I am truly glad that the decision was made to go to Brighter Dental; it?s an experience I won?t forget.

Now post dental work, my attitude has changed. I received encouragement and support during all my visits. I am very thankful to the staff for making a difference in my life. Their kindness and support after the death of my love was above and beyond duty, I will never forget it!

For the longest time, I hated going to the dentist. Every time I went, I left hating the entire experience. Because of that, I went for a long time not going. About the only time I did go was when I needed quick repair to a problem tooth. Over a year ago, I made the decision that I needed to get my life back on track. This first thing I decided to do was look into getting my teeth fixed. I knew that there would be a lot of work to be done. I started to research where the best place to go to. Well, I finally came upon Brighter Dental in Robbinsville and decided to take the chance there. The minute I walked in the door and got down to what needed to be done, I was reassured that I was not going to be judge by what I had not done but what needs to be done from here on. The entire staff made me feel like I was the most important person there. Every thing was explained on why it needed to be done and how it was going to effect the outcome. Dr Singer has established an entire staff of people, from the front desk to the doctors, who main concern is to have your teeth in a better condition then when you walked in. I am totally happy with every thing that they have done for me. It was a long road through every thing that needed to be done but the end result is perfect. I actually look forward to the next visit. I never thought that I would ever recommend a dentist to anyone but Brighter Dental is more than a dentist office. It is a place that can take care of your dental problems with out even having to leave the building. They are a full dental service center. And on top of that, they treated me like they were the one sitting in the chair. That makes the difference. They are a true example of putting the care in Dental Care. End result, I have a bright smile, a better attitude and I have a place that I a am not afraid to go to when I need to get dental work done.

In the spring of this year; our family encountered an emergency with our youngest daughter that required multiple areas of Dentistry. Megan had broken her 2 front teeth; we were panicked and did not know who to call as our family was new to the area. We contacted Brighter Dental as we were in the process of becoming new patients. Quite honestly we did not know what to expect. I called the office and the staff welcomed our call and took us in right away.

The Doctor greeted us and explained that Megan needed to see an Endodontic immediately as her root was exposed. The staff made the arrangements and called the Brighter Dental Princeton Office. Dr. Johnson was great with my daughter and made her feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. He explained in detail exactly what needed to be done and completed the initial phase of a pediatric route canal. Directly after this process; Dr. Johnson arranged to have a specialist cosmetically reconstruct Megan?s teeth. They came out wonderful and was able to make them look like new. At that point, the Dr?s had suggested that we consult with the Orthodontics department at Brighter Dental.

I was introduced to Dr. Salvatore who was the Orthodontist that was going to work with Megan on the next step of her process. She took the time to review Megan?s case, went over several different options and explained the differences within each. She explained what she felt the best approach was based upon Megan?s injury. Dr. Salvatore mapped out a plan in which we were able to quickly start the process. Dr. Salvatore returned our calls promptly and adjusted her schedule to accommodate Megan.

The wonderful thing - I was able to go to one place for all our dental needs. One cohesive team made me feel confident. I knew that they were acting in the best interest of my family.

Not long ago my sister started to go to Dr. Singer for dental work. She said one day when I was having tooth pain that I should go to see him. Since I have dental insurance through work I could go and see what could be done. When I first visited Dr. Singer?s office I was a bit hesitant because of work I had in the past. Dr. Singer saw me personally, not an assistant. He spoke to me for about 10 to 15 minutes told me he was going to take some x-rays and we would go from there. A girl came in and explained to me in detail what was going to happen and if I had any questions. She took the x-rays and Dr. Singer came back in about 5 minutes and went over my x-rays.

He explained everything in detail that could be done about my apparent neglect. Never once did he look down at me or give me this look of "better than me" because I didn't have perfect teeth. It was quite comforting, even though it was bad news. There was no high pressure sales approach to me having dental work done at his office. When I was finished we went to the front office and Dr. Singer asked me if I wished to proceed. He gave me his opinion, I agreed, and he showed me how I could afford what needed to be done since my dental insurance really doesn't cover much, to my surprise.

When I decided to go to Dr. Singer?s office for treatment he had everything planed. When to come, how long it would take, what Dr?s I would be seeing, everything and if there ever was a problem with scheduling they worked with me. I needed several procedures so they did only so much work at one time to not leave me laid-up for long periods of time. Plus my visits were no more that 45 minutes. Wow, minimal pain, no long visits, I might even start to like the dentist. The work that Dr. Singer and his team did on my teeth amazed me. Who knew I needed that much work? Who knew how much I wasn't smiling? I am so impressed with the work and experience that I received from Brighter Dental that I tell everyone to visit.

My name is Laura Shapanus and I live in Robbinsville. I am married and have a 6 year old son. I'm also a fitness instructor and I teach various fitness classes in many different facilities. So my schedule is very hectic. I used to go to a regular small dentist office which was fine when all I needed was a check-up and a cleaning, but then I started having some other issues. When I went to my regular dentist they informed me that I needed a periodontist. Great. So now what? Well, I had to find one on my own and figure out if they took my insurance and where they were located. I do not have time for that. I was thrilled when Brighter Dental opened up an office right here in Robbinsville! Dr.Singer has done all the work for me. He has a great caring group of Doctors who all come right to the Robbinsville office. I love that! So if I need a root canal, I go to Brighter Dental, a check-up and cleaning the same place. I also needed a dental implant. Dr. Singer does that too! And they put in my final crown. All the women that work at the front desk are so nice, and they always work with my crazy schedule. It's so convenient to have everything right in the same office. I've met most of the doctors and they are all so warm and compassionate and very gentle. That means a lot to a busy mom like me. I highly recommend Brighter Dental.

I've been a patient of Brighter Dental Care & Dr. Singer for several years, now. I have always found all the staff to be caring & helpful. Additionally, when my husband finally came to the realization that something just had to be done about his long-neglected and delayed dental care, I persuaded him at last to try Dr Singer. My husband required extensive treatment, involving not only Dr Singer, but just about the entire staff, at one point or another. We were always well informed about every step of the process, from consultation, through planning, treatment, costs, payment options, etc. "Painless" dentistry involves more than just what takes place inside one's mouth. The responsiveness of the staff is not limited to the time we spend at their office, but includes telephone responses when it is necessary to call there for any reason.

Since my husband and I relocated to NJ, we needed to find a new dentist. Not long after we moved, however, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. I decided to wait until after all of the treatments were completed.
During my fight, I found that cancer treatments affect the entire body, including teeth and gums.
As soon as I was cleared by my oncologist, I made an appointment with Dr. Singer at Brighter Dental in Clementon. My first impression was that he was an intelligent and serious professional. I also found him to be caring, compassionate, and concerned with my wellbeing. I needed to have cavities filled & root canal work. I needed a personal boost, so I had some cosmetic work done also.

All that kept racing through my mind was that I had battled cancer, was felling & looking well, but it was going to haunt me. I really thought all of my teeth were going to fall out. Silly me! Dr. Singer was very kind about it all. He was obviously puzzled at my reaction (Crying over a cavity?!!). But I explained my fears to him. He calmed me down, assured me that he would take care of me, and that I would be fine. I even told him it was OK to laugh at me for being such a baby.
My visits at Dr. Singer?s office have done much to lift my self-esteem after going through cancer, being bald, and generally feeling bad!
I found the office to be well-kept. Brighter Dental has a vibrant & caring staff, always encouraging & supportive. I do note hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a new dental team.
I feel very lucky to have found the team at Brighter Dental. I feel that Dr. Singer and his entire staff take responsibility for their patients and I have a great smile to prove it!

I have been going to Brighter Dental for 20 years. For the past 6 or so years I've had the pleasure of knowing Doctor Singer. He is not only the most handsome dentist I've ever seen but also the most compassionate.
He and his staff have always been accommodating. Especially when an emergency comes up. I've lost a couple caps over the years. He wouldn't let me look too ridiculous for too long. So Doctor Singer takes me in right away to remedy the situation.
My hygenist is Lisa and she takes very good care of me and I'm sure many others.
It's been my pleasure to say many positive things about Doctor Singer because I know he really cares about US.

My wife and I first met with Dr. Singer who was very warm and seemed very knowlegable.

of work. He was able to explain it to us in a way that made sense. He explained how my neglect of my teeth left me in need

I then saw several other doctors at Brighter Dental and they were all warm and caring.

The building is very nice and there is plenty of parking. The waiting room is spacious and had plently of room.

The assistants (Tracy and Jen are whom I met) were very reassuring and comforting.

We both feel very good about the work we had done and the results.

I have referred the rest of my office staff, family and friends to Brighter Dental, Dr. Singer, and Dr. Marmo.
