“My mother couldn't tell which teeth were the new ones. That's when I cried.”

Dr. Maya Castillo
DDS — General & Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Castillo founded Brightway Dental in 2012 with a simple rule she still repeats to every new team member: treat every patient like your favorite aunt. She’s the reason our reviews mention the word “gentle” more than any other.
A UT Health San Antonio graduate, she has spent over 600 hours in continuing education in cosmetic dentistry and implantology — but she’s proudest of the wall of thank-you cards from patients who hadn’t seen a dentist in a decade before finding this office.
Outside the practice, Maya is usually at a Zilker Park picnic table with her two kids, or defending her title in the office’s monthly taco cook-off.
