From its inception, Brighton Family Dental Group has been dedicated to serving the Tonawanda community, growing alongside its families through multiple generations.

Everyone always asks “why don't you go to a closer dentist?” (As I live in the south towns ) I have been coming here since I was a child. Great staff and great work. They inform you of all options before going forward with any procedure and are helpful with financial topics. Just got a root canal done and it couldn't have gone smoother. Thank you to the staff and doctor for all the hard work. Would recommend to anybody.

I moved to the area 3 years ago. This is the third dentist that I’ve seen, trying to find the right one. Dr Scheff is wonderful! He’s also subtly funny, which is the best kind of funny. Rita, the dental hygienist was great. The office staff and the assistant; everyone is very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

I have had considerable dental work done since coming to the practice a couple of years ago. Dr. Canallatos has been an excellent dentist, exhibiting great care and candor in discussing my needs and suggesting an approach. Paulette has been very thorough in cleanings and encouraging good habits. I am very satisfied with the practice.

A huge thank you to Brighton Family Dental. We were referred to Dr Jessica Canallatos for a complete set of new teeth for my 84 year old father Rich. From our first consult through all the appointments everything was smooth and easy. Every procedure explained fully and every question answered. Pops even had them laughing with every visit. Dr Jess, assistant "T" (and the whole office) thank you for a job well done with my father. He enjoyed the process immensely!

Myself and my parents eventually had to stop going here for dentistry, as they had my parents go through unnecessary dental procedures that have left them with continuing dental issues. My mother had multiple root canal procedures done for other doctors to tell her it was completely unnecessary and other less drastic means could have been had, and she's worse off now because of it. Similar issues with my dad who had a cracked tooth and crown problems. We just couldn't continue going here with that track record.
