I hadn’t been to the dentist in about 4 years when I finally decided to go to Dr. Bayani. He explained everything thoroughly. No other dentist in Lowell, MA has ever done that for me before. You can tell he really loves what he does. Best dentist near me.

I didn’t plan accordingly and showed up 30 minutes late to my appointment at Brockton Family Dental (in Brockton, MA). I called to let them know I was running behind, and they were very understanding. When I got there, Dr. Bae and his staff were very accommodating, so I had to leave this glowing review. Thank you so much!

Amazing! I hardly ever write reviews, but I had to write this one about Advanced Dental Care in Plainville, MA because it’s the best dental experience I’ve ever had! While at work, one of my crowns (that another dentist gave me) came off. I originally called one office, but they were all booked. They recommended I call Advanced Dental Care, and I’m so happy I did! The receptionist was super sympathetic and got me in that day. When I arrived, they were so kind, and checking in so was easy. I didn’t wait long to be seen, and they did full ex-rays and explained what I needed. They really seem to love their jobs because they’re professional but they definitely have fun, too. The person who took my ex-rays said I was lucky that Dr. Naiman was taking care of me because he’s the best. And she was so right! He’s friendly, warm and has great chairside manners. He calmed my nerves and didn’t try to push unnecessary work. He told me what I needed immediately and what could wait with no pressure, like some other dentists I’ve been to. TLRD: he fixed my tooth really quickly and tried to save me money. I’ve never experienced that at the dentist office before! He is now my new dentist, and I’ve told everyone I know about him. I’ll see you soon, Dr. Naiman!
