Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney
George Betancourt, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

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.

Dr Betancourt and his team are great! Love the fact that they can 3D print a crown out as you wait, so no need for a temporary and a second appt. my husband decided to give them a try after listening to me say how much I liked Dr Betancourt and After his first appt he told me he was so glad he went. Just a great overall experience!

Great experience! Dr. Pinnix & Dr. Betancourt teamed up for my implants & crowns. My expectations were exceeded! The entire team (doctors, assistants, receptionists) was truly caring & concerned. I would highly recommend Advanced Dentistry Of Blackeney to anyone seeking first class dental care

I have been going to Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney for over 7 years and have always received the best care and professional advice there. They are an amazing and super professional team of dentists and staff. They discuss every procedure in detail and provide different options where appropriate. Every appointment is professionally handled and pain free. Would never consider going anywhere else. By far the best dental office that I have ever been to.

My entire family are patients (my wife and I, her parents, our children and grandchildren), so we have a broader, more comprehensive view than most. The dentists and hygienists are terrific: competent, capable, courteous, personable, totally professional. The office staff goes above and beyond, and tries to accommodate any special needs for the elderly, younger children, etc. In my opinion they and among the finest I have ever experienced, and strongly recommend them for all your dental needs.

I recently moved to the area and brought my fear of dentistry with me. I asked around for recommendations of a dentist Who would work with fearful patients because I knew I needed work after avoiding the dentist for years. After receiving several tecommendations for Dr Bettencourt I scheduled my consultation. My total experience from that time forward was nothing but reassuring and wonderful. Dr Bettencourt and his staff eased my fears and provided the guidance and tools I needed to get through 2 root canals with crowns, an extraction and deep gum cleaning. They were all great and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is searching for a dental practice. They truly made the experience a positive one for me.

As always, my experience at Advanced Dentistry of Blakeney was excellent. This is going on 10 years of being a customer, and I can honestly say that I have had nothing but the very best care from everyone involved. My dental hygienist is Amber, and she makes every visit comfortable and professional. Couldn’t be happier as a client – thank you
