If you are looking for the best dentist in the East Lyme Waterford area (or beyond), I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Michael Giuliano. I have never come across an md or dentist that is as knowledgeable and technically skilled as he is empathetic, kind, and reassuring. I was sold on him as a dentist after a cleaning, but, as fate would have it, his skills were put to a test for me a few months later when I needed a somewhat urgent root canal.
He took the time, on several occasions, to patiently "talk me down" over the procedure and did just an amazing job on the tooth itself. It was no bigger a deal than most fillings I've had. It's just a great feeling to know that your dentist has "got this", cares about you, and that you have nothing to worry about! As a perk, the dental hygienists and office staff are also wonderful.

If you find yourself as deathly afraid of dentists as I do, look no further. From the moment I called to inquire about an appointment I knew I found my place. Every single person within this practice made me feel welcome and comfortable. I had a large molar removed by Dr. Kahn yesterday and I didn't even feel the pinch of the needle. He goes out of his way to explain what's going on in your mouth and the available options.
He also keeps you informed during the entire procedure. They currently don't accept my insurance but that will not keep me away. Dr. Kahn is worth every penny, even if it's coming out of my pocket. As someone who's had a ton of work done on my mouth and a few disturbing experiences that left me extremely fearful, I truly feel so fortunate to have stumbled upon this practice. Dr. Kahn is a genuine and kind man and an incredible dentist.

After dentist hopping for a few years Dr Kahn is incredible. Just had an extraction completely painless even the shots. You're in great hands. Gets busy sometimes though.

Highly over priced with double standard rate's. Recommend to ask for the quotes even before showing up for your appointment, so that you will not be disappointed with their dishonest practices.

If I could rate it 10 stars, I would! From the first time I called them to make an appointment to the end of my visit for my extraction. Dr Khan and his staff were all so nice and very caring. I am so serious, I have never had an experience like this and never mind at a dentist office. I'm 32 so I've been to the dentist plenty of times but this office was different. They made me feel at home. Needless to say they are my new dentist now!

I have had dental phobia since I was a kid and because of it my teeth have suffered and are in bad shape. Last week i had the worst pain ever due to a rotted and broken to the gum line molar so I knew I had to get it removed. I looked up Dentist offices online that cater to people with fear of Dentist's and found Advantage Dental Group in East Lyme, called, explained my situation and they got me right in.
The staff were so nice and welcoming and Dr. Khan was awesome! I had my tooth removed yesterday and it was so quick and painless that I didnt even know it was out! Today I feel great with no pain and can't wait to go back to finally get the work done and not be embarrassed to smile!. Dr. Khan and his staff are truly a great team and calmed my fear of Dentistry. Thank you Dr. Khan and staff for the kindness and making me feel at ease and comfortable.
