Hamilton, Bermuda
Preventive, cosmetic and restorative dentistry for every age, from a team with more than a hundred years between them.
Call the practice and we will find you a time.
Our mission is to build a long-term relationship between our staff and dental patients and to provide quality, consumer friendly dental services the whole family can value in a happy environment.
DaVinci Dental was founded by Dr. Vincent Bridgewater. Theresa Joy Furbert joined him in 1990. Dr. Aleesha Maybury acquired the practice in 2019 and still runs it the same way: preventive care first, corrective care delivered with compassion, and a chair you are not afraid to sit in.
We are authorised Invisalign and Opalescence providers, and implants are where Dr. Maybury has trained hardest.
Every tooth in your head is worth more than a diamond. Miguel de Cervantes
Whether you want a smile that dazzles, want to look after the one you have, or you have a dental emergency this morning, it is all under one roof on Washington Street.
The work that stops the expensive work. Early, regular and for every age in the house.
Repairing and replacing what is damaged or missing, so eating and speaking work properly again.
Straightening, brightening and guarding. Suitability is always decided at a consultation.
These are the practice’s own five values. Here is what each one means when you are actually in the chair.
Plenty of people arrive braced for the worst. Crystal Wales, who runs our front desk, puts it plainly: “Some first-time patients arrive fearful and anxious and imagine ordinary procedures to be the worst thing ever. I can reassure them that everything will be ok.” That reassurance is part of the appointment, not an extra.
DaVinci Dental promises to provide the highest clinical and ethical standards of dentistry. What that rules out matters as much as what it promises: we do not guarantee outcomes, because nothing in the mouth is guaranteed. We tell you what we expect, what could change it, and what it will cost before we start.
It is written into the mission: dental services the whole family can value, in a happy environment. Six people work here and most of them have been in Bermudian dentistry for decades. They know the regulars, they know the children, and the room sounds like it.
Dr. Maybury’s stated vision for the practice is a family-friendly environment where patients understand that they are partners in their lifelong dental health journey. In practice that means a treatment plan built for you, explained to you, and revisited as things change.
Dr. Maybury trained as a dental hygienist before she qualified as a dentist, and says it shaped everything since: “Because of my hygiene background, I am a firm believer in preventive and comprehensive care. Your oral health is directly related to many other conditions in the body.” Advice here follows the evidence, not the fashion.
Where we have trained hardest
An implant replaces a missing tooth by acting as its root: a small post placed into the bone, then fitted with a crown or a set of teeth. It is the option people ask us about most, and the one we have put the most training behind.

Most practices here will not put a number on a page. These are ours, published so you can plan before you pick up the phone.
A full dental exam, at no charge. The right time for a first visit is when the first tooth comes through, or at 12 months, whichever comes first.
In the chair or with a take-home kit. We will talk you through which suits your teeth at the appointment.
The shorter course, around five weeks, for smaller movements. Suitability is decided at a consultation.
The full course, 30 weeks and up. A retainer is needed afterwards to hold the result.
If your insurance includes orthodontic care, Invisalign costs may be covered. Every mouth is different, so timelines and results vary from patient to patient and nothing is decided until you have been examined.
Sharing is caring. Refer a friend to DaVinci Dental and we will thank you with 10% off your next cleaning appointment.
How referrals workFour steps. No surprises in the middle of them.
Your medical history matters to us more than it looks like it should. It changes what is safe to do and what we watch for.
Bring your policy and group numbers. We can verify your benefits before the appointment if you ask us to.
Your hygienist takes the X-ray, does the cleaning and carries out the dental exam.
Your dentist develops the plan, explains the order things should happen in, and what each part costs.
We file your dental insurance claim with your local insurer and accept your copayment when the work is done. Insurance correspondence can take up to two weeks.
Payment is due at the time of service. We take cash, cheque, Visa, Mastercard and online bank transfer. We accept Bermuda insurance coverage only, though we will provide official documentation for visitors who need to claim at home.
Full payment policyAn Invisalign patient at DaVinci Dental Treatment began 9 January 2020“On January 9, 2020, I began my Invisalign process with Dr. Maybury at DaVinci Dental Services. Then struck COVID-19 less than 2 months later. I never had braces growing up but the older I got, the more my teeth shifted. I am still blown away at how quickly the process was.
I tracked my progress and have hundreds of photos via the TrayMinder app. I let it be known to family and friends via social media about a month or two ago and those who didn’t know are all still stunned. It’s amazing how many of them have considered Invisalign as well.
If you have considered doing it, I DEFINITELY suggest that you just take the plunge and go for it. You will not be disappointed.”
We work with CG Insurance, Argus including HIP, and BF&M including GEHI. We file the claim with your insurer and take your copayment when the work is done. Bring your policy and group numbers, and we can verify your benefits before you come in. Insurance correspondence can take up to two weeks.
Yes. Dental exams are free for children under three years old. The right time for a first visit is when the first tooth comes through or at 12 months, whichever comes first. Children who get an early, positive start with their dentist tend to have an easier time of it later.
The Express 5 course is $2,200 and runs about five weeks. The Comprehensive course runs 30 weeks and up, to a maximum of $5,600. Prices vary, and if your insurance includes orthodontic care, Invisalign costs may be covered. Whether either course suits your teeth is decided at a consultation, not before.
You are told what is going to happen before anything happens. The practice was built around that: a welcoming, patient-centred room where the front desk, the hygienists and the dentist all expect the question. Plenty of first-time patients arrive braced for the worst. Say so when you book and we will plan the appointment around it.
Often, yes. Placing an implant is minor oral surgery, so visiting a certified oral surgeon or periodontist is sometimes required, and we will tell you at the consultation if that applies to you. Dr. Maybury trained in implant surgery under Dr. Arun Garg in Miami and Boston and is a member of the International Dental Implant Association.
