From the front office workers to the dental hygienist and the doctor himself, everyone was incredibly kind and personable! They made you feel extremely welcomed, even from the first phone call when I made the appointment. I love the education the hygienist gave me while she cleaned my teeth, so now I can clean my teeth properly! Gabby was also so sweet to explain everything she was going to do before she did it. That always makes the patient feel more comfortable and feels like the employees care about you (coming from an ICU RN who takes care of patients). Highly recommend this place!! Thank you for all you do and with a smile :) read more

Been coming here for a few years. Amazing staff and the Dr. Park is always there to help. Even when calling the office the staff is always helpful and professional. I go about 3-4 times a year to Bright Dental Care and I have nothing bad to say. Thank you for providing a great experience year after year. read more

I had looked forward to seeing this dentist and went off of prior yelp reviews. His office staff is marvelous, that being said, he came to me with the face mask on that he had used on the prior patient, in the next cubby, and he failed to greet me. He said nothing and began rattling off what I needed. I didn't like the fact he is not changing face masks, never heard water run next door, could be mistaken, and not properly greeted. I couldn't even see his face. I had X-rays done and I am a cash paying patient. I have elected to not return for the work and will ask for my X-rays to go to another dentist. You can't please everyone all the time, but there are some basics that should be met. read more

Seems like an honest, old school type of dentist. I went here as a second opinion after getting some xrays done at another office, and the feedback I got from this office just confirmed what my gut felt about the other place. Had a wisdom pulled out on top of getting some fillings done and I was in and out of there within an hour or so. They are quick to seat you and explain everything in detail for those who like to learn a new trick or two. From the front office, to the dental hygienist, assistants, and to the dentist himself, thank you for accepting a new long time patient!! Keep up this quality of work and the reviews will keep speaking for themselves. These reviews are what steered me to get a second opinion here and hopefully mine can help someone else to! read more

Perfect and Fast wonderful skill nothing to worry about it just go for it !!!!! he is the best!!!!

Very nice and very professional, they stay on top of things and it shows. They respect their patients time by doing a good job of staying on schedule as opposed to having you wait around for an hour after your scheduled time before they get to you. All my visits have been a pleasant experience and I highly recommend this dentist office. read more

Praise Jesus The last 5 years of bad experience dentist And this one comes up in my insurance web sight and it was like god sent me here. Very cool people helpful and affordable Friendly people read more

Short of say, cave diving (claustrophobic), the dentist would be my least fave experience in the world. I get so anxious. I do not like work done/utensils in my mouth. I floss and brush so much to avoid bad news and I get examined every 4-6 mos to keep the drill and needles away. Prevention! That said, I am picky and have been to 4 dental clinics in Bakersfield. This one is the best. I have had some nightmarish experiences at other local places. The best part here is that this practice understands. The front office manager, Keisha knows what the heck she is doing and treats you like an old friend every time. I adore her. Hours here are good. Kristin, the hygienist is very understanding and patient and tells me every step of the way, what she is doing. She is quick to give useful advice for best home care. The dentist is a good one. Maybe not a perfect 5 in bedside manner but I require gentleness that may be unprecedented!Ha! I would rather him be knowledgeable and not be overbilled unnecessarily and so far, no complaints. Thank you, Dr Park! The office is very clean. Water or coffee is offered in the little front lobby and you always get a cool toothbrush pack on your way out! Being so close to home brings this dentist office to a 5 star for me. read more

Being new in town, I called This office because of a bad toothache.The front office immediately arranged for me to be seen the next day and checked my dental insurance. The front and back office were so helpful, kind and efficient. Dr Park immediately identified the problem after multiple X-rays and arranged root canal work the next day. Dr Park was gentle from beginning to end of my procedure that lasted about one hour. I recommend Dr Park for any dental work you need. Being a retired physician, I am very choosy in giving a great review. read more

I was pleased to be greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff, all of whom did their best to ensure my comfort every step of the way. It was my first time here so everyone made sure I knew what my options were, what they were going to do, and how they were going to do it. There was even someone who helped me understand my insurance and what it did/didn't cover. The exam and cleaning was pleasant and the dentist walked me through the issues they discovered (that my previous dentist did not) and gave me a few options to handle them. I was very pleased with the entire experience and I LOVE how attentive, funny, and sweet each employee was. If you're looking for a great dental office, come here! read more

I don't like "the dentist" but really have had a great experience with Dr. Park at Bright Dental Care. The entire staff that I've encountered (most or all I think) has been amazing. The office manager up front is sweet and works hard to be as helpful and informative as possible about the giant pain in the ass that is billing and insurance companies. The two dental assistants and a third trainee were all amazing and hyper-communicative. The girls were friendly in between and checked in on me often throughout each time I was there. The doctor redid some old metal fillings quickly and without pain. They asked several times throughout if I was comfortable and were basically adamant I tell them if anything was too uncomfortable or hurt (it is worth noting that it never was). They really care about the experience patients have and it shows. I have also gone for two cleanings and the hygienist was just as kind, attentive and skillful as the rest. I hope to never have to seek out another dentist again - as long as Dr Park is around I have 'my dentist'. read more

The team was very welcoming and they made me feel very comfortable. The doctor didn't push any unnecessary treatments and offered very reasonable options. My mom had general cleaning here and the hygienist provided very gentle yet throughout care on her. I'll definitely come back here! read more

We love this dentist office. The office staff are always friendly and helpful. There is never a wait. The dentist uses cutting edge technology. It is very clean and conveniently located. Would definitely recommend! read more

The staff made me feel welcome. Today was my first visit. Miss Keisha is very wonderful, accomodating and professional... Dr. Park provided me with options for my dental plan of care. The rest of the team are very good with their job! They made sure i am comfortable. Thank you so much! Will definitely refer this office read more

My entire family comes here. Staff is friendly and Dr. very professional and explains in layman terms. Highly recommend. Location is perfect too. read more

Bright Dental Care - Front waiting room - General Dentistry Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Dr. Park and his crew were excellent. I had an emergency situation where I ended up having two teeth extracted. I was only in Bakersfield for work for the day, I was alone and dentists give me immense amounts of anxiety. I called to see if they could squeeze me in & Keisha was so lovely on the phone next to my panic, I already felt better. When I arrived, I was greeted with a smile and a reassurance that all would be fine. During the actual exam, Gabby was incredible. When I say I have dentist anxiety, I'm not joking. I started crying the moment I walked through the door. But Gabby explained every little thing to me, held my hand throughout the procedure and continually assured me that I was doing just fine. Dr. Park is a quiet, but smart man. He knew exactly what we needed to do, and while I'm sure I scared him with my exorcist-like reactions to the procedure, he made it quick and as "painless" as possible. I highly recommend this dentist to anyone, but especially people who hate dentists. So grateful they took such great care of me! So many stars! read more

Dr. Park is friendly, skillfull and very honest. I also had preventable treatment and very satisfied with its result.

Yesterday was the second time coming to bright dental. All I can say it is refreshing to experience people who love what they did and acted like they wanted to be there. Great technology and they involve you in your care from start to finish. I highly recommend this place. Dr. park and staff were excellent read more

First time patient and I was very impressed at the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff members I met and the Dr.

I love this dentist office. I will also mention that I generally like going to the dentist, contrary to most of society. The girls in this office are fantastic. Scheduling is easy as they are open until 7, and on Saturday. Text reminders which is so much nicer than a voicemail. read more

Great experience. Everyone is very nice and explains everything very clearly. Definitely recommend. Also, I have brought my 4 and 6 year old in for appointments and there were no tears. Excellent with little ones! read more

From the moment the door opened it was great super friendly staff. No sitting around waiting to be helped checked me in and sat for about maybe 2 minutes before they took me back and started everything. Hygienist did her thing was super nice talked me through everything that was gonna happen, after she finished the Dentist came in explained what was needed to be done I said ok and matter of minutes prep time kicked in and he did his thing. Happy with the visit going back for second part of my procedure in a few weeks. read more

I was soooooo impressed with my first visit to Bright Dental Care. I loved my Hygienist Kristin. She was friendly, professional and excellent at her job. All the office staff were exceptionally friendly and made me feel at ease(I have a terrible fear of dentist). The Doctor was so nice and I felt he had been at his job a while and wasn't a rotated dentist at some of the 'other' dental offices. Loved this place! read more

I had not visited a dentist office in "a few years" due to a horrible past experience. After a few minutes of online research I came across this place and decided to give them a try. From the moment I walked in the door I felt welcome and comfortable. I was a bit hesitant because I was to undergo a root canal but the staff assured me it wasn't as bad as it sounded. Once the Dr began the procedure, both his and his assistants calm energy helped me relax to the point where I almost fell asleep. The hygienist took over once the Dr completed the procedure and the deep cleaning with her was a breeze as well. I don't often post reviews unless it's a terrible or great experience. In this case it was a great experience and I would like to recommend bright dental care to anyone who has had a negative experience in the past. It worked for me, I'm sure it can for you as well. read more

My husband has been to Dr Park several times now. The services provided have been excellent!! The staff is great, and attend to our every need. It is quick and easy to get in and see Dr. Park. The staff is kind and professional and explain everything! What a blessing Bright Dental care has been to our family! read more

This place was great. The dentist was exceptional and his staff was very warm, friendly and professional. His pricing for dental work was so good that I will be visiting from San Francisco on a regular basis to get a lot of work done. This is the first time I have been excited about getting dental work done in my entire life. read more

Love everyone in the office. They are always very pleasant and concerned about how comfortable you are as a patient. Definitely reccomend them. read more

Best dentist office ever! I haven't gone to the dentist in over a year due to a negative experience at my previous dentist office, so I was a bit nervous, but I had nothing to be nervous about at this place. Everyone was awesome, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Doctor Park is great and really listened to my concerns. From the dental assistants to the hygienist, each and every single one of them made me as comfortable and informed as possible. I love this place, and I'm so glad my mom and I found them. I would recommend them to everyone I know, and probably even meet! read more

Great dental office. All staff is professional and caring. As most, I am not a fan of going to the dentist. My visit was quick, with no waiting time. I had a tooth extraction, which I had anxiety about but it was done quickly and with little pain. I recommend this office. Could not be more pleased. read more

Amazing place!! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Park! His pricing is great, staff is wonderful, never have to sit and wait. They are great with kids. This is the first time I have found a dentist I actually love! read more

Bright Dental Care is amazing - Drill less! Dr. Park is great, he made me feel very comfortable and at ease. (I tend to be a little nervous.) My fillings took 20 mins and I was out of there in 30 mins tops, pain free! I recommend Bright Dental Care to anyone looking for a dentist in bakersfield! read more

This place is like a breath of fresh air considering the horrible dental experiences I've had at Western Dental. All the staff are friendly and personable. The dentist, Dr. Park is knowledgeable and kind. Everyone had a smile on their face, everyone that worked there. I loved the way Desirae, my daughter's hygienist spoke to her and told her what was going to happen. Our wait time was almost nonexistent for our appointment, we showed up and our room was waiting for us almost immediately following our arrival. They didn't do any dental work without checking to see what insurance would cover and what our out of pocket expenses would be. I cannot say enough good things about this office and I'm so relieved to have finally found a dental office that I like and trust. read more

Save your $ !!!!! This office is not the place to go! I scheduled an appointment after checking reviews and the price of a replacement filling where I was told I had a small cavity, BUT. This dentist told me I did not have a cavity......ran me thru x-ray's. 14 views and cleaning and polishing and then told me I had a small cavity that needed to be taken care of....I said that is why I came today!!!! By the time I paid for this unnecessary bunch of things today and IF I had scheduled for the cavity I have now....I am out much more money then I was at my most wonderful regular dentist who has a very clean office, wonderful honest licensed dental hygienists and is a very special office to go to. Beware....the difference is a VW. Vr's and BMW!!!!! Also just had my teeth cleaning in January, and now again in March!!!!!! read more

Horrible horrible dentist!! I got a cleaning done on my left side he was too fast and left right after like he knew he did something wrong!! It's been 5 days and my mouth still hurts I talk funny and it hurts when I brush my teeth and eat!! I've never had pain in my mouth before letting him work on my teeth! I had a second opinion and they said he must've did something wrong cause my mouth isn't suppose to hurt, maybe tender for the day and the next day at the most. My mom also had her teeth done here and he hit her muscle with the needle and her jaw went to the side and he bruised her face up! Horrible work!! They don't even deserve one star read more

Saved me a weekend of pain! I had a cavity in a tooth that had cracked a few weeks ago which I had been putting off getting taken care of. Well I woke up one Saturday with a horrible toothache. Not very many dentist offices are open on Saturday, I called about 6 offices, including my regular dentist office, and no one was open. I called Bright, and thank goodness they said they could get me in as another patient had canceled. I found out later by the girls up front that they are normally closed on Saturdays but the doctors had been on vacation and were seeing patients that Saturday only, so basically I got lucky, but I still appreciated them taking me. I got my tooth taken care of and got a prescription for pain for when the numbing wore off. I felt much better the rest of my weekend. The dentist did a great job, the girls up front are friendly and professional, and the office was nice and clean, and I'm big on cleanliness. I will continue to use this office for my dental needs. read more
