I have always had a tremendous fear of going to the dentist. Finally, when I happened upon Dr. Grider in St. Joe, she was the first dentist ever to make me feel comfortable in the chair and did phenomenal work. Now that she has her own practice in Portage (Smile Brightly) my family and I HAPPILY drive an hour to see her rather than choose a new dentist. Dr. Grider puts her patients first and her team is fantastic!
Never will I ever use another dentist. She has won our family as patients for life! She is not just a dentist, she is a friend when you leave her practice. I cannot emphasize this enough. she is THE BEST dentist and she is meant for greatness. I am so happy I got to find her!

I am not generally a fan of going to the dentist, but Dr Hannon and her staff instantly put me at ease. From the moment I walk in the door, I am greeted by a friendly and competent staff who genuinely care. Dr Hannon is unlike any other dentist I've been to- in a good way! She is meticulously thorough and detailed in her examination, and does excellent work while putting her patients at ease. I always feel that I am in good hands with her and her staff. As someone who has tried a number of dentists, I highly highly recommend Smile Brightly!
