These guys are the best! If Dr Pinnex sees something cosmetically that he can improve quickly he just does it. My front teeth had little chips on the bottom and he took the time to smooth them out. Dr B does the same. I had a tooth fall out and it is a long process to replace it. He made me an Invisalign tray with a fake tooth so I would not feel insecure while waiting for my permanent replacement at no charge.

The entire group are so thoughtful and loving. They have become more like family than just my dentist I highly recommend! They care about every detail big or small. They truly want you to have a beautiful healthy smile.

Hands down, the most comfortable I've ever felt at a dentist office. I came in with lots of anxiety and fear. knowing I have a lot of work that needs to be done. They immediately made me feel safe, comfortable, and did not shame me for how my teeth looked! We quickly came up with a plan and I left feeling super confident and excited to come back and get started! He even took my anxiety into consideration and reminded me to try and not get overwhelmed. To take things one step at a time and that we would eventually get to where i need to be! I highly recommend. Everyone in the office is super kind and friendly!

I went in to address a chip on my tooth which is a bridge. I expected this to be an evaluation and a date to come back to get it fixed. These guys had it fixed perfectly in about 7 minutes. I was SUPER impressed. They are the coolest Dentists I've ever been around. I was so relaxed and felt I could trust them. I'm getting some long overdue work done with advanced dentistry because of that initial visit. Great place to go!

I have been seeing Dr Betancourt and his team for 15 years now. The whole practice is just fantastic. From the front office staff to all the hygienists and those that assist him in dental procedures. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top quality dental practice.

I just had my regular cleaning appointment, with Elizabeth, who does an outstanding job of keeping my teeth and gums in good shape. In spite of sensitivity that I had in a area or two, she is gentle and I felt no pain. Every professional here is fabulous at their specific specialty. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

In all my years, which is many, I never was exposed to the quality and care that I experienced with their staff and Dr. George Betancourt. My wife had the good fortune of discovering the group over seven years ago. If I had the wisdom to follow her lead, my dental health would be far better today. I'm with Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney now and would never consider changing. All my best, Warren

Could not have asked for a better experience here. I have been to many cosmetic dentistry's in my area but none have shown me the compassion, help and advice I've needed. I drove almost an hour to get here and was immediately impressed with how much attention everyone, even the workers that were not working me up gave me. The Dentist was so nice and excited to help. Love this place and the comforting environment in there
