Personalized care and confident smiles for Brevard families

Ask Bright Now! Dental & Orthodontics’ Dr. Carlos Lorenzo and Dr. Steven Dent what brings them the most joy in their work, and their patient-first approach is always top of mind.
“Watching a patient who didn’t smile when they walked in leave with a giant smile on their face is my favorite part of being a dental professional,” said Dr. Lorenzo.
“The chance to improve someone’s smile fills me with gratitude,” added Dr. Dent. “Watching that transformation unfold is incredibly rewarding.”
Known for their warmth, precision, and passion for oral health, Dr. Lorenzo and Dr. Dent are deeply committed to helping every patient achieve a healthy, confident smile.
Dr. Lorenzo, who practices at Bright Now! Dental’s Palm Bay office, earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Midwestern University Dental Institute and is active in both the Florida and American Dental Associations. He pairs clinical expertise with a compassionate touch — taking time to explain treatment and ensure patients feel informed and engaged every step of the way.
The Palm Bay office offers advanced services, including digital impressions for crowns, bridges, and dentures using the new Dexis 3000 Scanner. This state-of-the-art tool sets the standard for accuracy, efficiency, and comfort — reflecting Dr. Lorenzo’s dedication to patient-focused care.
Dr. Steven Dent, an orthodontist, serves patients across Bright Now! Dental locations in Palm Bay, Melbourne, and Satellite Beach. Like Dr. Lorenzo, he’s known for his gentle approach and focus on creating confident smiles. Dr. Dent earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree with a specialization in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics from Western University.
“I’ve worked with kids for most of my dental career,” he said. “Their curiosity and excitement are always contagious, but I also really value the conversations I have with adult patients.”

Dr. Dent also prioritizes patient comfort by embracing the latest in digital technology.
“We use an intraoral scanner to capture digital impressions — so there are no messy molds or gagging,” he explained. “It’s a game-changer for patients and makes the process smoother and more precise.”
Outside the office, both doctors are closely connected to their communities. Dr. Lorenzo enjoys bowling, gardening, fishing, hiking, and volunteering with his family. Dr. Dent is actively involved in his church and his family’s many activities.
“We’re all a little happier when we connect with those around us,”
Dr. Dent shared. “Those connections bring a smile to my face.”
Dr. Lorenzo, Dr. Dent, and the entire team at Bright Now! Dental & Orthodontics in Palm Bay would be honored to be part of your smile story.
