Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed by Heller Financial, Inc., General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE Capital”), General Electric Capital Services, Inc. and General Electric Company on July 29, 2002, which Schedule 13D was amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on May 21, 2003, relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Castle Dental Centers, Inc. (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Statement.

Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

Item 1 is hereby amended by adding the following:

The title of the class of equity securities to which the Schedule 13D relates, which was previously the common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, has been re-titled as the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

On April 25, 2004, the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bright Now! Dental, Inc. (“Parent”), Drawbridge Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company would be merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon consummation of the Merger, holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to receive $0.1572 per share of Common Stock, and holders of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to $0.1572 multiplied by the number of shares of the Common Stock into which such preferred stock was convertible immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, upon consummation of the Merger, holders of warrants exercisable into preferred stock shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of preferred stock into which the warrant was exercisable, multiplied by the product of $0.1572 multiplied by the number of shares of the Common Stock into which each such share of preferred stock was convertible immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, less the payment of the exercise price of $0.001 per share of preferred stock into which the warrant was exercisable.

On June 14, 2004, the Merger was consummated. Upon consummation of the Merger, (i) Parent became the sole owner of shares of the Company and (ii) GE Capital ceased to own any capital stock of the Company and received the merger consideration for its shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant for Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, GE Capital no longer owns any shares of capital stock of the Company. In addition, because none of the other stockholders of the Company party to the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2003 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), by and among the Company, Sentinel, GE Capital, Midwest Mezzanine Fund II, L.P. and certain other stockholders of the Company, own any capital stock of the Company following the Merger, GE Capital may no longer be deemed the beneficial owner of any shares of any such other stockholders.

The Merger Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement are filed as Exhibits 13 and 12, respectively, hereto.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read as follows:

(a) - (b) Collectively, no shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, Midwest, Sentinel, Fitzpatrick and Slack (which amount represents 0.0% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger on June 14, 2004).

(c) Other than as set forth in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past sixty (60) days by any person named pursuant to Item 2.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) On June 14, 2004, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities covered by this Schedule 13D.
