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

The staff here are great! I see Dr Betancourt, who is great dentist to work with. My family all go to see him, he and the dental hygienists that work here are very personable. I have a strong gag reflex, so dental work such as getting crowns on my back teeth I dread. He and his staff don't try to rush through the work and allow me to get my gag under control if it acts up. I no longer avoid going to the dentist because of these people. Thank you all!

I just switched to Dr. Bettancourt after my other dentist failed to find a sharp popcorn kernel in my gum that was causing me pain. Dr. Bettancourt is fantastic. The office has all the latest equipment, and everyone is very nice and professional. Highly recommend!

Dr. Pinnix and Dr. Betancourt consistently provide an excellent patient experience. Yesterday, I had an urgent dental problem and the gals at the front desk got me in right away. Dr. Pinnix spent a long time explaining what was going on to me and what needed to be done to fix it. Also, the dental hygienists are top-notch. I have been seeing Amber for years and I never experience any pain and my teeth are always sparkly white when I leave! Everyone at the practice from your first greeting onwards really seems to care about their patients.

Dr. Betancourt made my experience completely pain free and it was a tough extraction and post implant. He thoroughly explained everything in great detail and I never felt like he was rushing me. Wonderful assistant and everyone I met was professional and kind. I highly recommend!

I have been going to Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney for years. I no longer dread going to the dentist! I usually see Amber, but yesterday I saw Courtney who did an incredible job and explained everything to me! I usually see Dr. Pinnix who has gone above and beyond for me from day one. I have also seen Dr. Betancort on occasion who has been very nice and thorough as well. I enjoy my visits Maria and the girls at the front desk as are very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Everyone should strive for the customer service experience they provide. That's right, from a dental office! The entire staff is warm and welcoming, prompt and engaging. The hygienist and dentists make you feel like one of their family. Everyone in my family sees them. I'd highly recommend them for yours!

I am always very pleased with the quality of care and treatment received by Dr. Betancourt and his staff when at Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney. His entire staff is extremely nice and efficient. Love his hygienist, Kristen! Recently, Dr. Betancourt took the time to listen to symptoms that I had which had caused me persistent, significant pain for years.

He was able to resolve my problem easily through changing my bite. I'd seen a neurologist, ophthalmologist, and an EN&T doctor for this pain without relief. I am pain free and very satisfied with my care! Highly recommend.

Where to begin. I have been a patient of Dr Pinnix since 2012. I first went to him for cosmetic work. After taking many pictures and listening to my wishes he referred me to Dr Sellers for Invisalign vs doing the cosmetic work himself. I knew then that Dr Pinnex was a special dentist that put his patients best interest above making money. Dr. Sellers worked magic with Invisalign but I had a couple of teeth that were discolored and shorter than others.

Fast forward to July 2018. I recently received devastating news that I have metastatic breast cancer with no cure. I went in for my regular cleaning barely able to walk and in tremendous pain. Amanda did an excellent job cleaning my teeth.

5/5 experience. Dr. Betancourt explained everything that needs to be done and even did some extra work putting a temporary filling to my tooth until it will be fixed. Also they only charged me for a CT, even though they took some x-rays too.

I had terrible pain yesterday and was not yet established as a new patient, but Dr. Pinnix got me in for an appointment and was so wonderful in getting me taken care of. glad to have found a good dentist!

I've lived with a debilitating fear of dentists my entire life. On the rare occasion I would go it was out of sheer necessity then I'd avoid going again until there was no choice. Years would pass between these instances. The fear that my health was in jeopardy, the shame of poor dental hygiene, the avoidance of close contact and smiling through. years of professional work.

It was all tiring and perpetual. A little over a year ago I reached the point again where I had to go to a dentist. Things were a mess. A big mess. Dr. Bettancourt changed all of it. His demeanor, professionalism, patience and thoroughness cut through every bit of fear and distrust and walked me through a plan to.

I very highly recommend this office! Everyone is so nice & accommodating & patient. I've been seeing Dr Betancourt for about 7 years, and he is absolutely wonderful & brilliant at what he does, and I've had to have a lot done! He never pushes procedures on me like some dentists have done in the past. He makes recommendations & lets me choose. what & when I do anything.

And his "bedside manner" is excellent. All of the hygienists and assistants are friendly and gentle, & the girls at the front desk are extremely nice & really work with you on scheduling & insurance issues. Just saw Dr Pinnix for the first time yesterday, and he was great as well! Highly recommended!

Going to the dentist is not first on anyone's list as a way to spend a few hours. Given that it's not an enjoyable thing, the folks at Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney do their best to make it as painless and pleasant as possible. The offices in Blakeney are incredibly modern, offering flat screen televisions in each chair that the hygienist will set to whatever channel you want to watch.

I go to see Dr. Betancourt, and his hygienist is very pleasant and helpful. Recently I had been too long between visits, and instead of just causing me incredible pain during my teeth cleaning, she instead did surface cleaning for the first visit and then offered to let me come in one week later - if I agreed to floss consistently for the next week - before she went into the gum area.

According to her the regular flossing (I'm iffy at best, I must confess) "toughens" up the gums and after a week of doing it, her second foray into my mouth would be much less agonizing than it would have been had she done it all in one visit. I also like that they take a lot of time to talk to me about any questions I have. When I last visited, I had questions about some medications I was taking that had caused me mouth pain.

While Dr. Betancourt had never heard of such a side effect, he gave me things to "Google" and promised me he'd look into it as well before my next visit. Also, I've learned a lot from my hygienist about my dental health and genetic predisposition to tartar, etc. She explained to me some interesting things, which helped me understand why my brother always had cavities, and yet I have very few - but I really have to floss and watch tartar buildup.

Learning the mechanics behind this kind of stuff really helps me understand what I need to do to keep my teeth healthy - as she says, "everybody's different". So, the long and short of it is this: I hate going to the dentist, but Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney really helps turn that around, as much as you possibly can, when I still have to sit in a dental chair and have someone poke and prod at my mouth.
