BRIGHT NOW! DENTAL ORLANDO: TRUSTED EXPERTS, COMPASSIONATE CARE
At Bright Now! Dental in Orlando (Sand Lake), patients receive expert care in a warm, welcoming environment designed to make every visit comfortable and stress-free. Leading the team are Dr. Diane Garland and Dr. Aliuska Arner Medina, two dedicated professionals who combine clinical skill, empathy, and a genuine passion for improving lives through dentistry.
Dr. Diane Garland has served the Orlando community with Bright Now! Dental for over five years. She is highly experienced in handling complex cases and is known for her calm, reassuring approach that helps patients feel safe and confident.
“There’s nothing better than helping someone smile again and feel proud of how they look,” she says. “For more than five years, we’ve worked side by side, caring for our patients as if they were part of our own family. Our passion is helping each person get the treatment they need to live a healthy, pain-free life. We listen closely, address any fears or anxiety, and make sure every patient feels truly cared for.”
Dr. Garland says the most rewarding part of her work is “seeing a patient look in the mirror and light up because they feel good about their smile. Knowing they’re leaving happier than when they arrived — that’s what makes it all worthwhile.”
Outside of the office, Dr. Garland is an avid marathon runner who has competed in races across the U.S. and internationally, including Tokyo and London, and is currently training for the Boston Marathon. Dr. Aliuska Arner Medina recently joined the Bright Now! Dental team, bringing advanced training in prosthodontics, periodontics, and oral surgery. She believes dentistry is about caring for the whole person, not just their teeth.
“I strive to create a supportive space where patients feel understood and respected,” she shares.
The team uses advanced technology, including 3D imaging, to deliver more precise treatment planning, predictable outcomes, and an overall better patient experience.
