For Your Protection...

At Enlighten Dental Care, the health and well-being of our patients and team members is our top priority. While the Stay-At-Home order has been in place, we explored how we could better serve our patients in all areas of our practice. One enhancement we have made is the addition of a Negative Pressurized Room with a HEPA filter, similar to those found in hospital settings.

We chose to invest money in a hospital grade ICU isolation room equivalent in order to do the best thing we could do for our patients right now. The HEPA filter cleans recirculated air, as well as the supply/fresh air coming into the room with equal or slightly positive pressure. We’re here for you!

Dr Daniel Driscoll

Meet The Staff

OUR VISION

We are a relationship-centered dental team looking to partner with individuals who have a preventative mindset. Our goal is to provide appropriate, preventative treatment consistent with a patient’s effort to preserve dental health and minimize expense.

As a team we aspire to equip all of our patients with the knowledge to maximize their own oral health.

Historically, patients have felt they have no control over their dental condition and dental care. Enlighten dental care truly believes in taking the small steps of empowering patients with all the knowledge necessary to reduce the expense, and possible catastrophic loss, associated with cavities and gum infection.

What Our Patients Are Saying

I was not a regular patient at Enlighten Dental Care. I called on 7/1 with quite a bit of discomfort, sensitivity, and achiness. Like most of us, I didn’t want to go to the dentist due to fear and time. To my surprise, the office was able to get me in on the same day!! I was taken back ON TIME (big bonus points as I was on my lunch break). They took x-rays and Dr. Driscoll and Goldie helped me figure out what my issue was very quickly. Turns out, I hadn’t lost a filling like I suspected but I am clenching and grinding. They adjusted my bite, took impressions and wrote me an Rx for a dental night guard. I am looking forward to having it finished and delivered to get even more relief! Huge shoutout to the entire office but especially Dr. Driscoll, Goldie, and Celeste. You all worked magic and helped me not stress about my pain during the holiday weekend. THANK YOU!! And I’ll looking forward to making my dental hygiene appointment now!!

I’ve had great experiences at Enlighten Dental since my first visit about 3 years ago. But my experience today escalated them to the absolute best office visit I’ve ever had, for any appointment. Dr. Driscoll & his incredible staff were so very kind to me and my 16 week old son during my appointment, and went above and beyond to make my appointment enjoyable while helping to keep my son happy. I have never experienced such kindness at a doctor’s office, and the service is second to none!

Since you have to go to the dentist…it might as well be a good one. Dan Driscoll and Michelle Bascon are tops at what they do. You can trust them with your teeth, and they seem genuinely interested in what’s going on in your life. You can brush four times a day but your teeth will never feel as good as they do when you’ve had them cleaned by a professional.

– Karen Robertson
This was my first visit with them and it was the best visit ever. I was in terrible pain and they got me and comforted me and before I knew it my issue was no longer an issue. The friendliness and the honesty of the staff was amazing. I could have stayed and talked to them a lot longer than I did. I felt right at home. Thanks to the staff. Have a Blessed week after week.

Enlighten Dental Care offers a professional experience from beginning to end of a visit. The lobby is inviting, front office courteous and professional, the quality of dental care is outstanding, and the billing staff does a great job managing the insurance benefits!

– George Phillips
4 Years ago Dr Driscoll took over my very difficult dental problems. He made possible what I never thought could happen. I now have a beautiful smile and it changed my life. The staff at Enlighten are wonderful and treat you with a kindness you will not find anywhere else. If you need a great dental practice Enlighten Dental Care will take care of you.

– Penny Tilley
When my supervisor told me what dental practice she was going to, I happily and immediately exclaimed that is who I see. I told her how happy and pleased I’ve always been. I said you get what you pay for. I said it is worth the extra money to pay since Enlighten Dental Care is out of network. Your dental practice is worth it! I also like walking out with the dental ‘treat’ bag, too. Your staff is awesome!

– Jill Wyatt Olse
I was touched that you sent me the pictures of my teeth and the card. Thank you for the wonderful teeth. I greatly appreciate the skill, patience, time and concern you devoted to them.
As a guy who is not overly concerned with appearance, what surprises me is how much my new front teeth have added to my life. I find that I smile more, no longer unconsciously hiding my old uneven and yellowed teeth. Smiling more has brightened up my life. But most importantly, I find that my smiles to family, friends and strangers are much appreciated and often passed on to others. They are a gift that keeps on giving and, in this perhaps not so small way, help make the world a little nicer place for all.

Thank you,
Russell
Dr Driscoll, We appreciate the care and attention you have given to Ben. Your office has been most responsive. As parents of a college student, it is reassuring to feel he is in good hands.

Thanks again,
Susan and Tom
Dr Driscoll, I just can’t stop smiling ever since coming to your office. My front teeth look great! I never knew how good they could look. Thank you so much.

Tom is also pleased with the work you did for him. We both were impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of your staff. It’s hard to believe that there is an office that cares like yours does.
