I rarely leave reviews, but this dental office truly deserves one.
About two years ago, I came in with a front tooth that I thought was beyond saving. The doctors were able to restore it with a post and crown, and the result has been excellent. What seemed like a hopeless situation ended up being completely resolved, and the tooth has been doing great ever since.
They also treated several cavities, including one very deep cavity that initially worried me. After the procedure, the tooth became quite sensitive, and I was concerned that I might eventually need a root canal. However, the doctors reassured me that the tooth simply needed time to heal and that everything looked fine.
They were right. Over the following months, the sensitivity gradually improved, and about a year later it disappeared completely. The tooth has not bothered me since. Looking back, I realize they saved the tooth when I feared the worst.
I really appreciate their honesty, professionalism, and conservative approach to treatment. It's clear that they care about preserving natural teeth whenever possible rather than recommending unnecessary procedures. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for skilled and trustworthy dental care.

My experience was always excellent i take my 2 boys and never had an issue. But the reason im giving a 1 star review is ONLY on behalf of my mother. Who wasn't as lucky with the experience. Since she has no email, she is indispose of giving her experience so as a result im leaving one for her. She had an appointment for her son they got there they called him in checked his teeth and within a couple of minutes was told she had to make an appointment? She was confused as to why she had to make another appointment when she was already there? So she got to the receptionist and asked why they had her reschedule her response oh looks like you gotta pay because he doesnt have insurance? But didnt make sense to her because he indeed had the insurance.. she was confused that she just said she'll call another time to reschedule.Mind you its 4 30 when he was given his appointment.As soon as they walk out, all the staff walked out of the building to thier cars. So for her it looked like they just wanted to go home and not stay late to work on the last patient so they gave her an excuse in order for them to leave. As she told me that i felt a little disappointed in them. Because they never disappointed me once. But i truly felt bad for her experience so im just expressing her feelings and concerns on her behalf.

The excellent skills of Dr Erickson and his team of fellows , state of the art equipment and friendly staff make this a very good clinic to get dental implants. The charges are much less than at any other place.. He uses PRP and bone grafts which lead to a great fit. Attend
Attached is a photograph of multiple implants.I chose this place because it is a teaching facility with a skilled faculty such as Dr Erickson.

About Brighter Way Institute
Brighter Way Institute operates a nonprofit dental center at 230 South 12th Avenue in Phoenix, just west of downtown, offering low cost, comprehensive dental care with a strong focus on restorative and implant dentistry. The practice serves the general Phoenix community while placing special emphasis on people who might otherwise go without care, including veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and survivors of domestic violence. Patients considering dental implants can expect a modern, well equipped clinical setting paired with pricing structured to be accessible to underinsured and uninsured individuals.
The center's services go beyond implants to include dentures, oral surgery, orthodontics, root canal therapy, and general restorative and hygiene care, along with its own on site dental laboratory for denture and prosthetic work. Most AHCCCS Medicaid plans and private insurance are accepted, which helps make treatment plans, including full mouth implant reconstruction, more affordable for patients who might not qualify for care elsewhere. Anyone exploring dental implants in the Phoenix area and concerned about cost should find Brighter Way's pay it forward, patient centered model worth a closer look.
Meet the Doctors
Brighter Way Dental Center's clinical team is led by Dr. Kris Volcheck, DDS, MBA, the practice's founding CEO, who opened the first clinic in 2001 to serve Maricopa County's homeless population. Dr. Michael Rosen, DMD, MPH, MSD, DABOI, serves as Clinical Director and implantologist, and was the inaugural chief resident of the Jacksonville University Comprehensive Oral Implantology Residency based at Brighter Way. The team also includes Dr. Edward M. Byers, DDS, FAGD, a general dentist with more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Thy B. Ngo, DMD, another general dentist with over 30 years of experience providing compassionate care, and Dr. Joshua Basha, DMD, a board certified dental anesthesiologist who provides sedation for patients during dental procedures. Because staffing at nonprofit clinics can change, patients should confirm which provider they will see before their appointment.
