They will not accept any of the prints you send in, never got veneers. I gave up, blocked them from deducting my bank account and send a cease and desist letter. Giving this to my attorney next.

Brighter image lab STOLE $2,396 what the OWNER did to me next was even worse

Brighter image lab STOLE $2,396 what the OWNER did to me next was even worse - Image 5

On September 2016 I purchased both bottom and top arches from BRIGHTER IMAGE LAP - PRESS ON VENEERS After seeing them on the doctors show. I purchased online to a total of $2,396 AU I received my kit in a timely manner did the impressions being so particular about doing it correctly and taking my time.

Once I did my impressions clearly seeing all of my teeth in the impression ,I sent it back off I Received my veneers some weeks/month later.. there was a solid tooth at the front when I know my mouldings had a clear impression of my front teeth and the whole finish was a mess and BAD engineering. I thought maybe a machine broke? Heather Wiggins answered my first call, probably the most inappropriate person to be having interaction with human beings and answering calls but anyway She " took notes " 1.

The solid tooth issue 2. The teeth unfinished and flaky 3. Terrible engineering and without any sympathy or apology for this disappointed client said " We will send another kit out " and hung up... something so personal made so impersonal in a second.

I'm sure so many people like myself that have taken the harder path in life because of their teeth would think this company was incredible, be beyond excited for a life of better quality and eagerly await their next delivery. I thought Maybe I had done something so technically wrong with my impression to warrant what i received the first time. Staying positive despite the treatment I'd received on the phone I waited.. Weeks later the impression kit arrived, my Dentist took my impressions for me this time and they were sent off.

Weeks/month later these ' veneers ' arrived Solid tooth again and now with a split down the middle of the other front tooth. Hacks , chips and utterly disgusting finishing all over.. 100 times worse than the first lot i received. I called my dentist that day and was I was able to get in to see him the following morning.

He was speechless as to what I'd just received then furious. I called Bright image Lab honestly so deflated but still polite just wanting my money back, $2,396 is a lot of money for this rubbish, i wasn't expecting the treatment i was about to get.. Not what they advertised at all on the Doctors the product i received, Not what they show online as advertisement, not even close!! Hacks, actual chunks out of the arches and flakes of plastic I'm meant to put in my mouth ?

to digest? To my luck Heather Wiggins answered, treated with no kindness and spoken to in a cold manner, I was told to send them back for a refund claim. I did this Tracked the parcel but she never told me it arrived so I had to email her and let her know i saw that it had arrived via my tracking app. She said she would follow it up..

I heard nothing. I emailed again for an update and it was then i got a reply that it had been submitted for a refund. I asked that my email be attached to the notes as to my reasons requesting a refund. I know their is no money back poilcy but the fact they breached their own policy by not providing me veneers built the the best of the dental labs efforts like the efforts they made for all those that they use to advertise.

I waited 15 days and after Heather didn't email me back I had to call. She wouldn't talk to me, I thought rather odd. I hadn't done anything to warrant this. I just wanted to know about my refund for the damaged,defected veneers they clearly didn't spend anytime on.

I had a note about the solid front tooth attached to the account ( apparently ) and it still came back the same way! Not that overall this is the only issue because you couldn't wear and would not put them in your mouth anyway. About 10 minutes after i called and she wouldn't talk to me I got a copy and paste email about their refund policy from her and told me i could have another kit sent out. I waited 15 days for this?

and I had to chase it up too? I was not given any reason why they thought what i received was Ok and no apology either. Forever chasing this company, they took my money and treated me with no respect. I have tried to call and she will not speak with me and I've been refused to speak to the manager / owner ( you know the one that likes to be in all the motivational caring videos ) at this point I realised I really had been scammed.

I had been patient and polite. At this stage my plan to follow through legal proceedings paused due to by baby boys cancer diagnosis and 15 week chemo plan. I tried to contact on Facebook and was blocked, they tend to spend more time protecting their online image rather than looking after their REAL clients. Frustrated and feeling physically sick I found this owner Bill Watson on twitter, an extremely tacky way to have to contacted the man that took your money and will not speak with you about the damaged product you had been sent.

I felt criminalised for something they were doing to me. Bill Watson continually sent photos of their " professional advertising photos " with no words or with just insensitive advertising slang in response to my contact. Ignoring my pleas to listen to me or speak with me on the phone. It was infuriating, I sent photos of what I received, my invoice, my account number.

It got to the point I asked him to stop taunting and bullying me with with advertising photos, its hurts to be teased for not getting a product they promised. They have my money and i have nothing. They didn't earn this money they stole it. There is something not right when the management will not speak with you.

I have recored calls and many emails, screen shots of heartless behaviour. No one will talk to me, i haven't yelled or sworn it's like a twilight zone. I only wanted my money back, they are not covered for this as it states ( look in photos ) . I even tried to write an email to compromise refund minus postage, then i went to minus 80% but nothing.

I told them they left me no choice but to share my story online. I hope my beautiful boy will be in remission after this 15 weeks of chemotherapy and maybe then can afford to continue with legal proceedings after that. I am out $2,396 and have been taunted by the owner.

My anxiety pains are pretty much constant thinking about this situation and my stomach hurts so much. I just don't want this to happen to anyone else.

Brighter image is definitely a scam. I did not get the product too after I complained about the impression kit that they sent.

I lost more than $1000. I know karma will hit bill watson, the owner scammer and Heather, and the rest of those rude customer service people of this company.

Big karma is awaiting, it will torn their souls into pieces. He has scammed a lot of people already.

those bastards did me in a similar way; luckily I was able to get a refund out of them in the beginning of starting business with theser idiots. The women were so mean spirited with me and would not allow me to speak with the head.

I believe someone came to the phone pretending that he was the head person, yet I will never know the truth. These people should be in a jail cell somewhere.

Thank you for sharing what happened to you, I am sorry you had to experience what you did. I have been viewing and considering buying from watching the advertisements.

If you had not shared I would have fallen victim and I don't have that kind of money to lose and not have something to show for it. Thank you so much hopefully many more people will be able to see this before they order.

I have read and agree

I was also ripped off. Someone needs to bring a class action. The owner is arrogant to say the least.

Ann K Tfq

I know what you went through same here finely just we t to Mexico and have them all pulled. After wearing those for just a short time my teeth became extra loose and even in more pain. They do have stuff coming off of them all the time plastic or porcelain like they claim and never fit correctly.

Guest

I believe this Brighter Image is a scam. I wonder why a business that violates consumer's rights exists in America?

Something has to be done. This scam shouldn't be allowed to continue.

TO DEAR BILL OWNER OF THIS COMPANY , With all due respect, I was about to pull outsell some of my bitcoin and get the best ones you have for nearly 3000 dollars...I was completely sold on it, I understand how con artist will placate people with fake ads and such, but What is your explanation about the Reviews at BBB, are you this same company right? I mean this will all due respect as I am honestly about to purchase tomorrow, but what if I don't get the veneers I paid for and in 7-10 Days I would pay extra for?

What if they break and I can't get a warranty from you guys. You know I am a businessman and reach a huge network doing reviews on Trustpilot and reach about 120 million per month, If I were to purchase these Bil Veneers, top-notch pair for top and bottom, It really is eerie that I may not get them, or I am sure you have read the cases here https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/ft-worth/profile/veneers/brighter-image-teeth-whitening-0825-23****296 Or say this woman's review here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG5uE_s9tqY TRUST Me I have been in business just as long as you, I also worked d my Family run business, and I know how shills and other gatekeepers for other business acts, but why not just be ethical about it, and honest with yourself; I am way bought on your sales videos, I was...but doing some research it is very scary if that womans above is the top-line ones you sell...Unless you are saying that isn't your brand, I am confused now...IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY, that I can get some sort of a contract that states I get a full refund IF I DO NOT GET My Veneers in the allotted time I paid for like the one week expedited shipping? Or how about this, can I pay for half of it, I am good for my money, and when I get them, I pay you the other half...Do you guys not have actual product Veneers to show off, why were they cheap-looking in that woman's vide. I normally am never scared to actually buy something, but if I lose about 3 G and don't get what I am desiring and dreaming about, I will get really upset.

I would say I can be your best friend or worst nightmare. PLEASE Say it ain't so, and that you guys are legit. YES, I am a review writer pro, you can look up my reviews on Trustpilot, but many companies I have seen made their money and they don't care about the bad reviews. However, It seems a repeated dilemma on not responding back, no phone number, or email not handled with Professional rep etc.

I am sure you already know or heard it all before. I really do want to trust you. I know times are hard and I know I couldn't rip someone off and live to look in the mirror. I will say this, if I ordered it and it was legit and I got the best as you said, I can guarantee the world will know the absolute true truth about you guys once and for all, with no doubts...So Sell me on it, what can do you to convince me I actually will get what I paid for, I mean no one wants to spend even 500$ let alone more than 1000 Dollars for something and never get it, or get a plastic knock off that then breaks in half and no honor to the year or two warranty.

Like I said my mother and I have been in business for over 25 years with Town Plaza Hair Studio, and then My company Plott Palm Trees, I Don't even have one bad review, because I make sure each and every client is completely satisfied. I am not bragging, as I know you all are much bigger and have the market nitched in your favor. I then saw this Army Vet and what he said about the quality being " " Their product is a very thin fragile piece of hard plastic and a tooth pick is stronger"" TRUSTPILOT REVIEW and I am reading more now here https://www.trustpilot.com/reviews/6097****f9f4870a7872b3c6 If all these bad reviews are true truth, you might as well hang up your hat and call it an evening. I want to give it a chance so bad, but.

I hear one thing vs another and no way of knowing I will actually receive a solid veneer with it not broken in half. Sorry, I wrote a novel here, I can do the same when or if I write a review. How can you prove Your product is as solid and tough as you say, vs all the broken ones people get in the mail, and how can you express that I will get what I pay for...You really can't can you.

It's a risk, but I order online every day all the time, with no issues. It is your Niche and I say this with all Kindest Regards, ~Earth Man Erik Plott Harvard Researcher Plant-Based Nutritionist Cornell ~E.G.Plott~

WARNING: STAY AWAY

I had a patient recently come into my office and asked with assistance with this product. She has taken 8 sets of impressions on her own, which is what they have you do.

They send trays that do not even fit your mouth for the impressions. One size fits all which I am here as a dental professional telling you that doesnt exist. I felt like it was a scam from the word go and the deeper I dig into this company the worse it gets.I would be willing to bet my right arm those testimonials and all their happy customers dont really exist. They are overkill on their website almost trying to convince you what a good company they are, but if you dig a little deeper, the Internet is filled with complaints, they take your money and you get either crap or nothing at all !

The patient that came to my office has sent in the impressions we did the & supposedly they cant work off of those.

They say that because they have YOU take the impressions at home so later on, they can tell you that it was only built to the impressions that you sent inmaking it your fault and they refuse to refund your money. Stay the *** away from this company you might as well just set your money on fire.

That is completely false. You failed to add a coupon code to an order you placed yourself online and are upset that it will not be included.

Our system cannot apply promotions after the order is placed. You then harassed customer service numerous times with unreasonable demands.

You have violated our terms and conditions by writing this review and your order has been suspended. Shame on you.

Warning

I had called this morning to ask a simple question and I have a five month old daughter who has recently discovered she has a voice so of course she was yelling. The customer service reps thought I was raising my voice at them but really I wasnt I was simply talking louder so they could hear me.

She to the fact of fake yelling they told me they would not be doing business with me. All because I was asking questions. I have never been cut off or treated this poorly by a company. And Ive had brighter image veneers before and I never had that issue.

But these reps are disgusting to work with. Do not waste your time.

Brighter Image Lab - Company does not stand by the product

Veneers did not fit. We sent the second set of impressions and never received the new veneers.

I called after the 90 warranty was up as I didnt think it applied since the impressions were sent back. They said it was beyond the warranty, the company will not make further adjustments. Unfortunately, I have to continue paying over $3000 for a product that could not be used. Customer service blamed me because we did not send it back in time.

90 warranty is just that. Yes, they are right! It is my fault.

My fault for not understanding the warranty policy applied for adjustments as well. I don't recommend that you purchase from this company and if you do, make sure the product fits before the 90 day period.

I interviewed for a job with them. I had the address and I know the area well, but it was very hard to find the place, It's completely hidden, basically in a basement around back of a shopping strip, and unmarked. The owner said they want it that way, said they don't want to be found. That should tell you all you need to know.

Dishonest and Shady

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Brighter Image Lab - Dishonest and Shady
I spent $2400 on an upper and lower veneer. I also purchased the 2 year extended warranty. After one year of occasional use the bottom veneer snapped in half. I was shocked since I work from home and only wear these occasionally when I go out. I contacted BIL and initiated my warrant claim. I followed directions and sent the broken veneer back. I was then informed I needed to pay another $199 to process my warranty. After paying $2400 and buying an extended warranty you think they would send me a new veneer. Nope. They would rather extort the customer for more money. BIL is unethical, shady and their product is junk. They lack integrity and do NOT stand behind their product. I sincerely wish I never wasted my money.

I am so glad that I read your review and other reviews of dissatisfied customers. After seeing this man promote this business all over YouTube I was about to purchase the product for the $149 but after I looked they woukd have charged me $546 3days later..I was like WTH is that.

Still interested I looked for reviews. With all that being said, there is NO WAY I'm giving them a dime.
