Meet Dr. Schneider

Dr. James Davis Schneider is the new owner of Brightly Dental, where he's excited to provide comprehensive dental care in a warm, family-oriented environment. He believes every patient deserves personalized attention and care.

Dr. Schneider graduated from dental school in 2018 from LECOM in Bradenton, FL, and offers extensive experience in general dentistry including crowns, bridges, implants, fillings, dentures, extractions, Invisalign, and more.

His passion for dentistry began after losing both front teeth in an injury at age 16. Having spent considerable time as a dental patient himself, Dr. Schneider understands how your smile impacts your confidence and overall well-being. His goal is to make every dental experience as smooth, comfortable, and painless as possible.

Originally from Lake Providence, LA, Dr. Schneider moved to Covington in 2020 with his wife Caroline, whom he's known since fifth grade. They have a young son with another child on the way. When he's not caring for patients, Dr. Schneider enjoys coaching youth soccer and baseball, cooking, and competing in his neighborhood's annual crawfish boil competition.

Dr. Schneider and the team at Brightly Dental look forward to helping you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile. Schedule your appointment today to experience personalized dental care that puts your comfort first.
