Meet your dentist
You'll be in warm, steady hands.
"I started Brightwell because I wanted a practice where people feel listened to — not rushed, never judged, and always told the honest truth about their options."
Dr. Reyes earned her DDS from the University of Texas and has spent more than a decade helping anxious patients fall back in love with the dentist. She's known for explaining everything in plain English, taking the time to numb thoroughly, and treating every family like her own.

Real words from real Brightwell patients across South Austin.
I've been terrified of dentists my whole life. Dr. Reyes and her team were so patient and gentle that I actually didn't dread my cleaning. First time ever I've left a dental office smiling.

Marisol G.Patient since 2022
Cracked a molar on a Friday morning and they squeezed me in by 2pm. Honest about what I needed, no upselling, and the crown looks perfect. This is how a dentist should run.

Derek P.Emergency visit, 2024
We bring all three kids here and the staff is amazing with them. They make it fun, explain everything, and my once-nervous 6-year-old now asks when her next visit is. Worth every star.
