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!

There are many positives to include in this review. All of the staff is very enthusiastic to provide service to our family. We always receive a friendly welcome upon entering. Dr. Hannon is very thorough and proactive in her treatment. I believe she has genuine care and concern for the health of my family and me. Her attention to detail and her gentle nature are some of the reasons I return.
The office staff is extremely helpful in sorting out payments and working with our insurance. I appreciate the convenient location near not just our home, but our orthodontist and family doctor. Thank you for your wonderful service all around! Five stars!

Everyone there is always very welcoming and professional. I have been using Dr. Hannon for over 20 years and have Always been satisfied with her work. She has never made me feel uncomfortable or given me any unexpected pain. My teeth are very important to me and i feel both she and her staff are as concerned about my teeth's health as I am. She is also great listener. When I talk about some concern that I have I know she hears me and she takes my seriously.

Dr. Laura Hannon is an excellent dentist. She has taken good care of my teeth over the the past 34 years. She and her staff stay involved in the latest dentistry by participating in continuing education. Because of her care and knowledge, my teeth are in very good shape. I might add that my children went to her when they were young and between the two of them they only had 1 cavity through age 18. Dr. Hannon was also helpful for emergency situations. I highly recommend Dr. Hannon and her staff!
