• Welcoming to patients of all ages, backgrounds, and identities, including LGBTQ+ patients

The overall goal stated on the website is to provide exceptional, technologically advanced dental care in an environment where patients feel respected, informed, and well cared for at every visit.

• Routine dental cleanings and exams
• Digital x-rays
• Fluoride treatments
• Dental sealants

These services are focused on preventing cavities and gum disease and helping patients maintain long-term oral health.

Cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic services are designed to improve the appearance of the smile, addressing concerns such as discoloration, chips, gaps, worn edges, and uneven gumlines.

• Dental bridges
• Tooth-colored fillings and other composite restorations

Emergency dental care

• Same-day emergency appointments are offered as the schedule permits

Patients with an urgent concern are encouraged to call the office so the team can advise on next steps and attempt to see them promptly during business hours.

Technology-supported care

Many services are supported by in-office advanced technology, including:

• CEREC for same-day crowns
• Solea laser for many procedures without traditional drills or needles
• GentleWave for root canal therapy
• CBCT cone-beam 3D imaging
• In-house 3D printing for certain restorations

This equipment is used to make treatments more precise, efficient, and comfortable where appropriate. Specific treatment recommendations are always based on an in-person exam and consultation with Dr. Freeman.

Dental insurance

• The practice accepts most major dental insurance plans.
• The website notes that the office is in-network with Connection Dental (with access to many affiliated plans) and Delta Dental.
• Other commonly mentioned insurers include Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Blue Cross, and Guardian.
• The team verifies benefits before your visit whenever possible so there are fewer surprises.

Because every plan is different, coverage details such as deductibles, annual maximums, and copay amounts vary by patient. The office can provide an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs based on information supplied by your insurance company, but final responsibility for payment rests with the patient.

In-house Smile Advantage Plan (for patients without insurance)

For patients who do not have traditional dental insurance, Brilliant Dental Care offers an in-house Smile Advantage Plan. According to the website, this plan typically:

• Covers preventive care (such as exams and cleanings) for a set yearly membership fee
• Provides discounts on additional treatment completed in the office
• Has no deductibles and no waiting periods

Exact pricing, covered services, and terms of the Smile Advantage Plan are set by the practice and may change over time. Patients should contact the office directly for current details and to confirm what is included.

Flexible financing options

To help patients manage the cost of treatment that is not fully covered by insurance or a membership plan, the practice offers third-party financing options, including:

• CareCredit
• Cherry
• Sunbit

These financing partners generally allow qualified patients to pay for treatment over time with monthly payments, subject to credit approval and the terms of each lender.

Patients interested in financing should speak with the team, who can:

• Explain which financing options are currently available
• Provide basic information on how to apply
• Help coordinate treatment timing once approval is confirmed

How to get an estimate

For the most accurate information about costs and coverage, patients should:

• Call or text the office at (713) 360-7638, and
• Provide their insurance information (if applicable) so the team can check benefits in advance.

Specific fees, coverage determinations, and financing approvals are not guaranteed and are always finalized between the patient, their insurer, and/or the financing provider.

Technology at the practice

The website highlights several technologies available in-office:

• CEREC same-day crowns

Custom ceramic crowns are designed and milled in the office, often allowing treatment to be completed in a single visit without temporary crowns or a second seating appointment.

• Solea laser dentistry

The Solea dental laser is used for many procedures and is described on the site as allowing "no needles, no drills" for most treatments. It is intended to reduce or eliminate the need for traditional anesthesia and make visits more comfortable. Not every case is identical, so specific use is determined by Dr. Freeman at the time of treatment.

• GentleWave root canal therapy

GentleWave is an advanced system used to clean and disinfect root canal systems more thoroughly than traditional methods. It is designed to improve efficiency and patient comfort during root canal procedures.

• CBCT cone-beam 3D imaging

3D imaging is used for detailed visualization of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures, which supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning—particularly for implants and complex restorative cases.

• In-house 3D printing (Sprintray)

The office uses in-house 3D printing technology for certain appliances and restorations. This can shorten turnaround times and improve the precision of custom-made items.

Approach to care

The practice describes itself as a technology-forward dental office focused on:

• High-value, fee-for-service quality rather than high-volume, assembly-line care
• Seeing fewer patients with more time reserved for each, so visits feel more personal
• Using technology where appropriate to make treatment faster, more precise, and more comfortable

The website also notes:

• Same-day appointments are often available, subject to the day's schedule.
• The team emphasizes a comfortable, low-stress experience, especially for patients who are anxious about traditional drills and needles.

All specific treatment recommendations and technology choices are made after an in-person examination and consultation with Dr. Freeman, based on each patient's needs and clinical findings.

New patients can contact the office by phone, text, or through the online booking options on the website to schedule their first visit.

New patient special (as advertised on the website)

• A comprehensive dental exam
• Digital x-rays

The team can review what is currently offered, explain what is included, and help schedule a visit that works with your availability.

Important notes

• The new patient special is designed for patients who do not require urgent or complex treatment at their first visit; emergency or specialized care may involve separate fees.
• Insurance coverage, if applicable, is handled according to your individual plan; the office can review how your benefits apply alongside any promotions that are active at the time of scheduling.
• All treatment recommendations are based on an in-person exam and consultation with Dr. Freeman.
