What Manhattan Families Are Saying

We’re grateful to Dr. Corielli and Dr. Benichou. They know how to make children feel comfortable, handled a dental emergency exceptionally and we couldn’t be happier.

Happy Parent

The office is amazing, the staff is terrific, and Dr. Corielli is exceptional. She puts kids at ease and the office is vibrant with fun waiting areas. She communicates effectively with kids and parents. She is just wonderful!

Satisfied Parent

The whole visit is wonderfully thoughtful. You feel cared for, from the child’s psychological experience to a badly needed coffee for the parent. The team is superb and they pay attention to dental emergencies immediately. Comfort knowing your child’s teeth are in the best hands.

Happy Parent

We've been patients at Bright Healthy Smiles since my kids were toddlers. Staff is great with children, dentists and hygienists explain procedures carefully and answer questions. We have two sons with different dental issues; each has a thoughtful treatment plan including orthodontist involvement. Highly recommend.

Returning Family

Bright Healthy Smiles goes above and beyond. They answer all questions and make us feel comfortable. The space is clean and modern with iPads and TVs; my kids get excited to go to the dentist.

Satisfied Parent

I have been going to Dr. Corielli for 13 years with my kids (ages 14 and 11). The entire team is welcoming and supportive. We also use the orthodontists for braces and Invisalign. Highly recommend.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some of the most common questions parents ask before visiting Bright Healthy Smiles.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling a child’s first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish healthy habits and allow parents to receive guidance on development, nutrition, and prevention.

Yes. We provide developmental orthodontic evaluations and monitor growth patterns as children develop. Early evaluations can help identify concerns and determine whether treatment may be beneficial now or later.

Not at all. While a large part of our practice is focused on children and adolescents, orthodontic treatment works well at any age, since healthy teeth can be moved safely whenever the surrounding bone and gums are in good condition. We offer adult patients the same range of options — including clear aligners and traditional braces — and will walk you through what’s realistic for your bite, timeline, and goals before recommending a plan.

We take a patient, child-centered approach that prioritizes trust and emotional safety. We move at each child’s pace, explain what to expect, and focus on creating positive experiences that build confidence over time.

Absolutely. We care for infants, toddlers, children, and teens. Our team is specially trained to provide age-appropriate care and guidance throughout every stage of development.

Our office is located at 1317 Third Avenue, 6th Floor, on Manhattan’s Upper East Side between East 75th and East 76th Streets. We are conveniently accessible from Lenox Hill, Yorkville, and surrounding neighborhoods.
