"My headaches are gone! Approximately once a week, for years, I would wake up in the morning with a "nasty" headache - one that would last all day. No matter what pain relievers I used, the headache would persist and not leave me until the next morning. I never really thought it was abnormal. It was just the way I was made and I learned to accept them.
Then at a dentist appointment one day Dr. Goodell conveyed to me that it was obvious to him that I had been clenching and grinding my teeth during sleep. He asked if I had headaches. We talked for a bit and he suggested that I might benefit from an NTI dental appliance, which makes clenching virtually impossible. I was skeptical, but I agreed to let him 'create' a custom NTI for me. He did so that day and I went home with it.
I will be frank. This little device was not inexpensive. But it is worth its weight in gold to me. I started wearing my NTI in May of 2014 and cannot be without it. I wear it faithfully every night, even when I travel or go camping. It changed my life. How? My headaches are gone!
Thank you, Dr. Goodell

I have been a patient of Dr. Goodell for several years. I was originally referred to Dr. Goodell by my oral surgeon. The surgeon had all but given up on saving my dental implants, He stated that there was only one dentist the he knew of that might be able to save them and I was lucky to have him in the Brighton area. I made that first appointment and it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I was amazed with Dr. Goodell's knowledge and use of his state of the art laser treatments. He has indeed saved my dental implants and slowed the progression of my periodontitis.
Throughout the years, I've found Dr. Goodell to be gentle, meticulous, and patient. He will take the extra time to answer all of my questions.

Since my first visit, he has created beautiful new dentures for me. Wow! What a difference. I'm all smiles!

I am very impressed with his team. Besides their professionalism, they are so warm and friendly. They make you feel like family. I always leave the office with a positive experience.

"My NTI had finally given up the ghost, and needed replacement. Of course, it happened during a holiday week! Not to fear, for Doc and his team made certain to find a place for me in the schedule, and the intricate fitting was completed quickly and efficiently. I am so grateful to one and all for the wonderful response, and I thank you for your kindness. When it comes time to vote for "Best Dental Office of Livingston County", you can be certain that you'll have my vote! Catch my hugs as you enjoy your Thanksgiving blessings."

"Dr. Goodell is the most gentle, caring dentist I have been to, and this is saying a lot since I'm 75 yrs. old. He is very concerned that he does not hurt you, has a great sense of humor and is a perfectionist at his work. The staff are the friendliest, concerned group of medical people I have ever had. They not only bend over backwards to help you with billing questions, insurance and an accurate final cost, they show concern You leave the office actually happy and laughing. It took 75 years, but I am finally going to the dentist with a smile on my face."

"A striking environment in your office is one that promotes strong personal interaction between your staff and patients. While obviously all topics related to dental services may be discussed, I particularly like the freedom to engage in casual conversations of other topics. I haven't seen that so much in other dental offices. I hope that never changes."

"Dear Dr. Goodell,
It is a rare opportunity that one takes the time to share an exceptional and satisfying experience with a product or service. My two recent experiences with your practice fall into this category. Merely by chance, I sought your practice for a “Zoom” teeth whitening procedure, and from first contact I knew your practice was different….a cut above. From the moment I made contact with your office personnel Tiana and Rachel, to the actual procedure performed by Samantha, I was treated with the utmost care and professionalism. As I may previously mentioned the “Zoom” procedure has exceeded my expectations in terms of timing and degree of whitening. Given, this exceptional experience I look forward to having all my dental services performed by your exceptional and capable staff. Best of luck in the New Year, and once again for my new smile!"

"In my lifetime, I have been to a lot of dentists. I would rate them all between a 3 and a 6...always in a hurry. So I really don’t blame them for being a dentist without the time for all of their patients. But I have met Dr. Goodell now & I will rate them a 10+. Why? He finds time for his patients, and gives individual attention makes all of his patients like his only patient. His staff, WOW! Could not ask for anything better!! Thank you Dr. Goodell for being my dentist!"
