"My son was born missing nine adult teeth, and as his baby teeth began to fall out, it became an emotional struggle for him. He stopped smiling and grew very self-conscious about the gaps where his adult teeth never came in. As a mom, that was incredibly hard to watch. In 2023, our dentist recommended we speak with an orthodontist to create a long-term plan to restore his smile. By November 2023, he had braces put on to begin straightening his teeth and creating space for future implants.We were then referred to Dr. Gracia at Advanced Dental in Norton, and from the very first consultation, we knew we were in the right hands. Dr. Gracia was compassionate, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process. Most importantly, he gave my son confidence and hope again.Dr. Gracia set a goal of having temporary teeth in place by Christmas—and he made it happen. Seeing my son smile again during the holidays meant everything. The entire team at Advanced Dental is outstanding. From the welcoming front desk staff to the dental assistants, office managers, and Anesthesiologists —everyone is kind, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. Thanks to Dr. Gracia and his team, my son has his SMILE back and his confidence. I am beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dental care."
"Miracle workers, that is, Advanced Dental Care of Norton. My son is a teenager who was losing all his teeth to decay from major dental anxiety and a lack of care. Cleanings required anti-anxiety medication, and still, a full cleaning was never completed. To have cavities filled, my son required full sedation with an anesthesiologist. By the time we found Dr. Gracia, my son had to have 8 molars and premolars removed by an oral surgeon. Dr. Gracia performed miracles on my son. He coordinated with a local dental anesthesiologist and placed crowns on all his upper teeth, as well as repaired all his cavities on his lower teeth. We are now in the process of having partial teeth created for his missing teeth by Dr. Gracia and his staff. Dr. Gracia’s staff is amazing and were all accommodating to my son’s needs. We have to drive over an hour to see Dr. Gracia and his staff, and it is well worth every minute. Before my son met Dr. Gracia, he didn’t smile. Today he smiles."
"I’ve been coming to Advanced Dental Care for over 10 years and it’s an amazing experience every time! From the front desk to the hygienists to Dr. Gracia himself, everybody is an absolute pleasure and I plan on being a life long patient."
"I highly recommend Advanced Dental Care of Norton. Dr. Gracia, Angela and all the others, be it in the labs, in the office or on staff, have been very professional, knowledgeable, and caring.I've had many years of dental work performed elsewhere. Braces, extractions, root canals, caps, crowns and TMJ related surgery. My teeth were very bad. Several dentists and oral surgeons said they could not help me. The most hopeful solution offered would require one to two years to complete, in several stages, requiring multiple, extended hospital stays. Not really what I was looking for so I was resigned to not talking clearly and eating liquid nourishment for the rest of my life.Dr. Gracia was recommended to me and I decided why not. Worst thing that could happen was a waste of a hour or so. Turns out to be one of the best decision I ever made.With his knowledge and modern equipment we did exams and had a working plan in that first meeting.Time wise, less than I expected. Major surgery was in the office and was done in one day. Bone grafting, screw sockets, cleaning out old remnants of past work, removal of infected bone areas, all done. All that heals while the teeth are made, and then the end results are a full set of beautiful, working, non removable (by me), teeth.Price wise initially gave me sticker shock but considering it over time it's not too bad. The benefits of implants. No more cavities to fill, no more caps, or crowns or root canals. Unlike dentures, they don't fall out or need gunk to hold them in. No more toothaches or hot/cold reactions. In my case, my dental insurance wouldn't cover dental appliance maintenance so no insurance cost.You still brush and floss and have a yearly check-up but that's less than the insurance.I've had mine for three plus years and am very happy with them and with Advanced Dental Care of Norton. Thank you Dr. Gracia, thank you Angela, thank you to everyone else that makes A.D.C. of Norton, the great place it is.If I had one complaint it would be that I have to learn how to smile again.Follow up to review.2026 and still going to this great place. Office is easy access. Facilities are clean and fully equipped to handle any issues. Staff is exceptional in all aspects. Dr. Gracia still checks me out if needed or just to say hello. Full implants so no cavities, crowns, caps or root canals. Just a cleaning once or twice a year. Still highly recommended. Thank you ADC of Norton."
"I've been going to Advanced Dental for over 30 years. A very professional office that I'm happy with. I have had my cleanings done there along with having a crown or a root canal done. Dr. Gracia always made sure I felt no pain during any procedure. Definitely will continue my care at this office."
"I am very fearful of dentists since I was a young child. I have weak teeth and have vivid memories of the painful memories of going to the dentist and receiving developed a fear from the painful injections to numb my mouth, along with other issues with not enough numbing of cavities and feeling the pain of the cavity being filled. As a nurse, I know the consequences of letting your teeth go, and I can turn actually life-threatening seating into your blood and into your heart from an abscess.. I worked every day during the Covid at two different trauma hospitals in Boston. I developed TMJ and grind my teeth down to nothing under the mask, but I had to wear almost 24 hours a day seven days a week. I had developed five cavities that needed to be filled and went to about 2 to 3 dentist before I settled on advanced dental care of Norton. The previous dentist’s were good, but Advanced Dental Care was the best for me as well as my daughter. It had everything including sedation to address my anxiety., no 6 to 8 months wait times to make me change my mind or seek another dentist, access to cleanings for my daughter and I, access to orthodontics, which both my daughter and I will need, and referrals to whatever services weren’t in the building. It is modern and up-to-date and able to take my insurance and broke down a payment plan so I could get the bulk of my work done under sedation in one day in less than four hours. Most importantly, the communication was excellent, Dr. Gracia, Jill, and the staff took my anxiety seriously and gave me the care that exceeded my expectations. My fear of the dentist is not gone, but for once I know, my daughter and I have a permanent dentist for the first time since I myself was a child. 🩷"
"Dr Gracia and his staff provide the best dental experience possible. I have had simple cleanings to implants at Advance Dental and have always been happy with the results. Dr Gracia assures you are pleased. I would recommend Advanced Dental to anyone looking for a practice that can handle any dental issue all under one roof. Finance options are available which is also very helpful."
"“SAY CHEESE” -- thanks to Dr. Gracia, I am thrilled to pose for the camera and show off my beautiful smile! I live out of state– not too far from Advanced Dental Care, but far enough where traveling may beg the question: Is ADC worth it when I have so many dentists right here in my home state?Dr. Gracias was highly recommended by my orthodontist in my hometown as the best in the field to finish my treatment and add Veneers. I am very particular, and set up a consultation with Dr. Gracias. He took the time and “listened” to my concerns. We analyzed and strategized together what would best enhance my smile, appearance, and overall happiness. It was decided that the Veneers would be the finishing touch to correct those few problematic areas that were bothersome and did not give me the confidence to smile for the camera, or more importantly, while socializing.Well, it’s obvious, the answer is YES! I am writing this testimonial because it was definitely the best decision I’ve made, and I am beyond happy. Dr. Gracias is extremely passionate about his work, truly loves what he does, and it shows. He is so focused and intense that I feel at ease knowing I am in skilled hands. I am not one to write reviews, nor I am a social media buff, but I felt compelled to because Dr. Gracias and his team are so deserving of a big shout out of thanks.The staff at ADC emulate Dr. Gracias insofar as giving it their all to make you feel comfortable during and after the procedure, answering any pre or post questions, scheduling, and overall, just a very caring professional dentistry group. I highly recommend Advanced Dental Care!Respectfully submitted"
"I have search the internet for many many months looking for a dentist that can do full dentures implants for the lowest cost I could find.Advanced dental Care of Norton . Dr Gracia and his staff were very pleasant and caring about my needs. I highly recommend them 👌"
"I enjoyed reading all the reviews. We have always known Advanced Dental is top of the line dental care. Dr Gracia thankfully did my overly needed extraction, that I was dreading!He and Samar were great! They used modern technology , separating my own platelets from my blood and mixed it with bone compound. Once it was placed into the gap and stitched, I had NO bleeding. Also no pain afterwards. Just amazing.We also had Kim do a superior and extremely patient and gentle cleaning for my husband. He was quite anxious, due to health issues, to start, but soon was able to relax under her kindness and caring. Just amazing.This IS the place to be for excellent dental care. Our smiles are the first thing people see when we meet. So, like they say … only take care of the ones you want to keep!!!! 😁"
"I got veneers in April of this year and could not be happier with the result! Dr. Gracia and everyone I dealt with at the practice were extremely kind and knowledgeable during the entire process. They gave me confidence in my smile back and I am extremely grateful for them :)Thank you Dr. Gracia and Rossio (and everyone else at the practice)!"
"I had two tooth implants done by Dr. Gracia in the last few years, both of which hook onto my partial plate. My plate was sent to the lab while the crown was being made, to ensure they would both fit correctly. I couldn't be happier with the results. The two implants feel the same as if they were my own teeth, and my partial plate fits better than ever.I have been going to Advanced Dental Care of Norton for years. Dr. Gracia and his staff are all very professional, friendly and most of all, do great work. I highly recommend them."
"I’ve been going to Advanced Dental Care of Norton for over 20 years. The team of professionals are incredibly talented and kind. Dr. Gracia always makes sure I’m comfortable, he does meticulous work, and his passion for dentistry is remarkable."
"Went for a routine cleaning, have not been to the dentist since the start of Covid due to lack of dental insurance, but self pay at Dr Gracia’s office was not outrageous at all. Amanda was awesome during the cleaning and gave me lots of info and advice that I had not known, and Dr. Gracia even shaved down a piece of an existing crown to help with evening my bite, at what seemed to be free of cost! Not afraid to go there in the future for more serious work if needed."
"I needed a new dentist, preferably in Norton. I decided to give Advanced Dental a try as I had read very good reviews. At my first cleaning appointment I learned that I needed extensive work done including 2 implants and a bone graft. Dr Gracia and his team were professional and thorough. The office is immaculate and the staff is friendly. After a long process all of the work is finished and looks fantastic. Thanks so much to Dr Gracia, Angela, Rossio, Erica and anyone else Involved in my care. Thanks also to Brianna for making me feel comfortable for my cleanings."
"There is so much I could say about my experience here. I am from Texas and was working in Massachussets. I had an incident and my tooth cracked. I was able to find this location and I was absolutely in love. The staff is absolutely amazing, Dr. Gracia explained everything about the procedure the day of, and the process that would need to take place. The options that were available to me. During this time I looked for different things that I needed to do, cleaning, whitening, etc just because I have never been excited to be at a dental office. My time was over for work in Massachussets and I still needed the last part of the procedure. I refused to have it done anywhere else, and made a separate trip and drove from Houston, TX all the way just to be able to make the appointment. I will find a way to return for other procedures later on, as they are all amazing here!"
"I have been going to Advanced Dental since 2017. I needed to have my front teeth removed and implants put in place. My bottom front teeth were so worn down and definitely needed crowns. Well, after my plan of care was accomplished, I have to say Dr Gracia has given me an incredible new smile that I wish I had years ago. I'm extremely happy with the outcome. The office staff are friendly and caring. I have to be honest, I was very nervous about the whole plan but staff put me at ease and were sympathetic to my anxiety. I absolutely recommend Advanced Dental, Dr Gracia and his staff."
"I was referred to ADC/Norton by a dentist who due to excessive bone loss was unable to replace my broken upper crowns and bridges. At ADC I not only found "one stop services" but, an amazing group of people. Dr. Gracia and his kind and professional team did x-rays, extractions and bone grafts. I now have a full set of upper porcelain implants. I also, had my bottom teeth aligned by a wonderful orthodontist, Dr. Bejian, all at one convenient location. Dr. Gracia, Dr. Bejian and the entire ADC staff have literally bent over backwards to make sure I am always happy with my results.That's a first for me."
"I visited Advance Dental Care last week with a dental emergency. I have to confess I was afraid and very nervous of going to the dentist during the pandemic considering how the virus spreads. However, as soon as I got there I felt I did not need to worry. First, they asked me to wait in the car until I was called for the respective appointment, so that only one patient at a time walks inside the clinic. If this would have not been possible, they had reorganized the waiting room so that patients were able to wait 6 feet apart from each other. Also, before I walked inside, an employee, wearing mask and gloves, took my temperature and measured my oxygen saturation and pulse rate to make sure that I was healthy. I did not encounter anyone other than the staff when I was there and they were all properly equipped to make my visit safe.Dr. Gracia was wearing N95 mask with a face shield and gloves. Overall, I felt like all possible safety procedures were in place.Besides all this, all the employees were nice and helpful and made me feel I had nothing to be nervous about. Dr. Gracia explained to me all the measures he had taken to protect the staff and patients from the coronavirus; it was very comforting knowing all what he is doing to protect his patients and employees from any exposure to the virus. I will have to visit again the clinic next week to complete my procedure and now I am sure I have nothing to worry. I definitely recommend the practice even during this very difficult and challenging times."
"I went to the office for a semi-emergency procedure - a crown on a front tooth had fallen off. As I entered someone was cleaning the door handles. The receptionist was masked and behind a plastic screen. Dr. Gracia had a full plastic face cover on and all other workers were masked. I felt like all possible safety procedures were in place. I did not encounter anyone else in the office and am happy to say that although visiting a dentist may not be the thing you choose during a quarantine, all efforts were made to provide a safe experience. My temperature was taken and I had to answer a series of questions about my health before I saw the dentist and his assistants. I think they are doing a great job of making us feel as safe as possible in a potentially risky setting."
"I have anxiety about going to the dentist. Dr. Gracia and his staff are wonderful and always put me at ease. My hygienist Heather is the best! I never feel rushed and she always answers all my questions. She is gentle yet very thorough. Best cleaning ever! I travel and go out of my way to go here because she is so great and I am very picky. I won't go anywhere else."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Gracia's for years. I recently had implant surgery and unpleasant as that sounds, he made it a great experience. Dr. Gracia let me know every step of the way what was happening and he and his assistant, Rossio, answered all of my questions. The procedure was painless. I didn't have a moment's discomfort while I was in the chair. I highly recommend Dr. Gracia for any procedure you might need. I had gum surgery the month before with Dr. Arias. I have had this procedure done multiple times in the past and it has typically been pretty painful. This couldn't have been further from the truth this time. Dr. Arias and his assistant, Annie, made the visit very comfortable for me and the pain afterwards was minimal. No pain during the procedure whatsoever. It hasn't been a great last month for me dentally, but the team at Advanced Dental Care of Norton made it the best experience possible. The staff, from Cody at the front desk and Dee, the treatment coordinator, to the assistants and the doctors are professional, friendly and caring."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Gracia's for 20 years and have been extremely happy with his level of care. At his practice, I have had scaling and grafting done by his affiliated periodontist and I have had practically all my oral exams and fillings done by Dr. Gracia personally. He was professional and courteous and he provided excellent care in every case. On those times he was not available during my visit, the other dentists at the office handled my case just fine in all but one instance (in which a new DMD simply recommended an unnecessary treatment). Dr. Gracia's hygienists have been excellent. For my fillings, bonding, checkups, and other care for 20 years, Dr. Alvaro Gracia has been excellent, and he continues to be my dental healthcare provider of choice."
"I have had really bad TMJ for years. I use my mouth guard and practice the exercises that Dr. Gracia suggested. A couple months ago, my TMJ was so bad I could barely eat. When I came into the office, they recommended I try botox. I was hesitant at first but had to find a solution. The botox was amazing! It didn't hurt at all to get the botox and my pain was gone within days! I no longer suffer from TMJ as consistent as before and I would not hesitate to do it again."

"Thank you to Dr. Gracia and his staff for making me smile again. It seems I have spent the last few years just doing dental work or repairs on old dental work. Even after having braces twice, my smile and teeth made me self conscious. I came to see Dr. Gracia and even though he was skeptical, he took on the challenge. With minimal cost effective (and low anxiety) work, he gave me back my self esteem."
"After many years of closed mouth smiles,poorly fitting upper dentures, and bottom teeth that had been ground down to nubs, I had the wonderful fortune of meeting Dr. Gracia! A family member had seen him and his staff to repair poorly done implants. When I saw her beautiful teeth and smile I was hooked.During the few months I was being treated it was with respect and genuine concern as I progressed toward completion. Well,my teeth are done,implants are teriffic and I feel like a new woman. You are not able to tell my teeth are not my own.Can't stop smiling,don't want to stop smiling.Thank you Dr Gracia and your amazing staff."
"As a teen I was in an accident which resulted in the loss of my front teeth. I didn't have the greatest teeth to begin with (overbite, space between). Needless to say I had gone to many dentists over the years and it was a great challenge for any of them to make my front teeth even presentable. I had started with implants but the bone became weak and later had to be replaced by a bridge. None of these procedures were successful and I hated to even smile.It was not until I met Dr. Gracia and his assistants (Angela and Rossio) who took on the challenge with their recommendation was to replace the front teeth with implants. Although I was very reluctant to do implants again I'm so thankful I did. The bone in my upper jaw was not strong enough (bone loss)and the gums had receded, so the initial work was bone replacement, gum repair, followed by temporary and now permanent implants. My smile could not be better, especially given what Dr. Gracia had to work with. You cannot tell by looking that my front teeth they are artificial. They look natural by all means. The coloring, texture and gum line are amazing. The teeth and foundation are extremely solid and I expect they will last a lifetime.Dr. Gracia, Angela, Rossio and the lab technician are true professionals who are experienced, caring, and perfectionists. Dr. Gracia would not let me leave his office until he was 100% certain the implants were right. When I came to him with any issues, his team worked long hours to ensure satisfaction. Even the temporary implants were better than any permanents by other Dentist. Implants are pricey, no matter where you go, but you get what you pay for...it was worth every penny.I can't thank Advanced Dental enough. If you want quality work I highly recommend Advanced Dental of Norton. Also a big shout out to my hygienist Jen, all the girls who run the front desk supporting my numerous calls and Dee who helped with the financial aspect. Thank you!"
"The dentist Dr Brown was excellent. I was scared because I usually have Dr. Gracia, but she was excellent. I will try her again for fillings."
