"5 stars! Great service.freindly, the best dental care I've ever had. Thank you"
"I have been seeing Dr. Graham for my dental needs for over 30 years, and can tell you that the dental care received at the Avon Wellness Center Dental Associates has always far exceeded my expectations! Over the years I have had many types of dental procedures ranging from cleanings, to fillings, to implants. Going to Dr. Graham's office is like visiting with old friends, always a smile and good word on the way in and the way out, and "Painless"! The entire staff is like family, warm and friendly, but also professional, making you feel at ease the moment you walk into the office. Each major procedure is explained in fine detail, and insurance estimates are made with accuracy prior to the work being started. Personally, my family and I can't imagine going anywhere else for out dental needs. Dr. Graham and his staff are the best!-Vince T. North Granby, CT"

"I love getting my teeth cleaned at Avon Wellness Center Dental. The cleaning is excellent by Keisha, and Dr Graham is an excellent dentist. I have been going to this practice since 1987."
"Another great visit to Avon Wellness Dental this morning, this time for crowns. Everything went perfectly and comfortably, as always. I have been Dr. Graham's patient for many years and I can say that I have never had better dental care anywhere. His team reflects him - highly professional, expert in current techniques, caring, and friendly. From cleanings to crowns, I have always been treated with respect and attention to my comfort.The office is outfitted with hand sanitizer when you enter, plexiglass for the front desk, doors for each treatment room and every staff member mirrors Dr Graham’s professional and caring approach to his patients.I highly recommend Dr. Graham's practice to anyone looking for an outstanding patient experience."
"I have always had issues with plaque build up and tartar. My dental cleanings involve heavy scraping and what seemed like forever in the dentist chair trying not to jump too high or out of the chair due to sensitivity. My last cleaning showed extensive plaque and tartar build up. I was offered this new treatment called Hybenx, which is like a liquid applied to your affected teeth. After 30 seconds, it literally softens the plaque and tartar so that the hygienist can then amazingly so gently just literally rinse and use the scaler/pick to slide it right off of your teeth. It does have a strong taste of vinegar but you can rinse after the 30 seconds and for me the vinegar taste was worth not going through pain! The hygienist then goes back around your teeth to make sure it is all removed. It was the easiest, painless cleaning I have ever had. And a much shorter time in the dentist chair. There is a private cost of $60.00 but so worth it for me. Also, there is a consent form to sign regarding side effects however I experienced no side effects at all. HIGHLY recommend trying this product if it is an option for you. I will be using this method for all my future cleanings!"

"Thorough examination with helpful suggestions for teeth and gum care. Very professional and friendly."
"We have been with Avon dental group for many years. They have many good dentists and hygienists. My current hygienist Jessica does a great job cleaning my teeth. She was very gentle and thorough during the process. She also provided me with valuable tips and suggestions for maintaining good oral health. She is a nice caring person who cares about her patients and their oral health. The front desk staff at Avon dental group are great, especially Steve. He is knowledgeable, attentive, warm welcoming, and professional as always. Each time as I walk into the office I feel at ease and confident about my visit."

"I've been terrified of going to the dentist for years (since I was a child). As a result, I let things go rather than face my fears. My sister recommended Avon Dental and I had my first appointment a month ago. Since then I've been back 3 times and I have to say it's been the best dental care experience I've ever had. From the very first phone call (took me weeks to get up courage to call) with Stephen at the front desk, who calmed me down on the first call and was so nice, to the dental assistants and the hygienist and especially the dentist, Dr. Fagan, I knew I was in good hands. Dr Fagan created a care plan for me (didn't need as much work as I thought!) and the hygienist created a cleaning care plan moving forward. I now look forward to getting things fixed and I'm no longer terrified of going to the dentist. I cannot say enough good things about Avon Dental Group, especially Dr. Fagan. She is calm, friendly, patient, explains things as she goes. She was accommodating of my fears and TMJ issues, etc. The office is very clean and has a calming atmosphere. Everyone I've encountered here has been friendly and helpful. I finally found a dental practice I feel good about!"

"After visiting my podiatrist, whose office is in the same building, I happened by AWCDA and was looking in the window when an enthusiastic patient, on her way in, asked if I was a patient. I said no, but that I was looking for a dentist. She immediately locked arms with me and escorted me inside. She said Doctor Graham is the absolute best and then introduced me to Rachel who booked me an appointment. It can be stressful entering a new doctors office, but I could tell immediately this is a warm, caring place. Kecia managed my first visit and provided the most pleasant cleaning I have ever had. Doctor Graham is terrific. I really felt comfortable and engaged by him. Rachel is effervescent. :-)"

"I've been a patient at Avon Dental Group my whole life. Today I received the best cleaning I've ever had. Laurie was terrific in her attention to detail and professional care. My teeth have never felt this good leaving a dental office before! The team there is really top-notch."
"I’ve been a patient at Avon Dental Group my whole life. Today I received the best cleaning I’ve ever had. Laurie was terrific in her attention to detail and professional care. My teeth have never felt this good leaving a dental office before! The team there is really top-notch."
"The courtesy and respect I have received as Dr. Graham’s patient, as well as the high quality of dental care, is worth 5 stars. Special shout-out to Eileen, my hygienist, for her always thorough prophylaxis and for making me feel so comfortable with each visit. And thanks to the front office girls for their warmth, smiles and efficiency."
"I have been a patient with this practice for over 25 years, experiencing the gamut of dental treatments, from routine cleanings and fillings to crowns and Invisalign. In every instance, I have been treated with the utmost sensitivity, professionalism and excellence. Dr. Graham and his entire staff are consistently warm, upbeat and caring to all. In essence, they treat their patients like gold."
"I have been a patient of Dr. Graham's for about 5 years and every single visit to his office is a pleasant experience (as pleasant as going to have dental work done can be). His staff is so pleasant to work with, from scheduling appointments, working out insurance claims, deciding the timing of dental work beyond cleanings. I really can't recommend them enough."
"Kaylee was my hygienist and it was probably the best dental experience I’ve ever had! She was extremely friendly, made great conversation and overall made the office very inviting and comfortable. She was great at answering all of my questions, asking counter questions to get a better idea of what I currently do for my dental hygienist and how I can get better. I had a few questions about wisdom teeth and eventually Invisalign down the road, Kaylee addressed all of my concerns with detailed explanation and even suggested most ideal scenarios for my teeth. When it came to finally cleaning, she did so great I literally had to stop her mid cleaning and compliment her on just how great she was doing! She was taking her time cleaning every individual tooth, not missing a single spot. She would also tell me what she would be doing and why she would be doing it which I was really appreciative of and it made me feel more comfortable, by the time she was finished I felt like I could explain the entire cleaning process myself. The best thing about all of this, was even though Kaylee had an extremely meticulous process I couldn’t have been there much longer than 45 minutes which was perfect for me to get back to work! Overall, Avon Dental Group is an incredible environment in a beautiful town with an amazing staff. I’m super picky on my dentists and there are a lot of criteria I look at when choosing my services. Kaylee was phenomenal and I couldn’t be more excited to have found such a talented individual dedicated to her craft in a place that literally feels like my living room. I highly recommend Avon Dental, it’s convenient, warm and extremely attentive to all your needs and concerns."

"Heidi is a great hygienist and I would definitely recommend her. Dr Solof is my dentist and does outstanding work. Go see them if you are in need of dental cleanings and work."

"I have been going to this practice for almost 20 years. Dr. Graham and all of the staff are consistently professional and personable. Dental care is thorough and never rushed. Everything is explained carefully and there is a definite sense of both respect and concern for their patients. Dental appointments are a pleasant experience at Avon Wellness Dental Associates!"
"I have been a patient for a few years now and whenever I go in for dental work in addition to receiving top notch dental care Dr. Graham and his staff are always warm and caring. I always find it amazing how much Dr. Graham and his staff remember specific details about my family and I. It demonstrates to me how deeply they care about their patients and the dental care that they provide."
"I have been a patient since 1981 just after Dr. Graham graduated and went into practice in Bloomfield. It has always been a joy to interact with him and the office staff. They are so friendly, caring and professional. Eileen, my dental hygienist, makes my cleanings an easy, peasy event. Dr. Graham is always taking courses to expand his knowledge allowing me to feel confident about his advice concerning my dental needs. When I need a cavity filled or a crown, Dr. Graham makes sure it's as painless a procedure as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Graham and everyone involved in this practice."
"Been coming to these guys for years. Every Hygienist has been great and gentle. I've seen every Dentist, all have been great. My two favorites are now retired, but I have faith they will be replaced by professionals with the same level of ethics. Insurance recently forced me to go to another practice, which turned out to be a disaster. I returned to Avon Family for a second opinion and after a few regular cleanings things are great again. I gladly pay the out-of-network cost to use a practice I can trust."
"I was visiting my family while in CT for the holidays. I began to have severe pain in one of my molars which turned out to be my wisdom tooth. The pain was so bad I couldn’t even touch it with my tongue. My wife and I called oral surgeons and dentists in the greater Hartford area and couldn’t find a dentist that would take me in. That is until we called Avon Family Dentistry. They took me in, examined my tooth and found that it had to be extracted. The appointed was made for the next day. The tooth was pulled and the pain was gone. Thank you Avon Family Dentistry! You are awesome!"
"I've been a patient of Dr. Graham and Dental Hygienist Eileen for close to 30 yrs. With each dental procedure and cleaning, I'm always completely happy with their work :) The staff is friendly and professional. I highly recommend Avon Wellness Center for all your dental needs."
"I have been a long term patient of Dr. Graham, and have had root canals, an implant, in addition to routine dental care. Dr Graham is excellent. In addition to doing excellent work, he is a genuinely nice man who makes you feel at ease while patiently answering your questions and explaining the procedures. He also goes above and beyond if there is an emergency. I had a tooth nerve that was dying and was in eye popping pain. He saw me right away, and rather than have me wait over the weekend, he came in the next day and opened early to do the procedure I needed. Who does that anymore? A really wonderful dentist. The entire staff, from the front desk to the hygienists, is professional, courteous, and competent. This is a wonderful practice."
"I have been coming to ADG for 12 years. They are so good that even now that I live two hours away, I still drive there for my dental care. Dr. Knowles is the best dentist I’ve ever had. He is officially recognized among his peers as one of the top dentists in Connecticut. My teeth need a lot of looking after and I only go to ADG for dentistry and cleaning visits. Dr. Knowles’ work is of the highest quality, and he treats everyone - patients and staff - with great courtesy and kindness. He is very gentle and patient and he makes sure my comfort is addressed, and he is attentive and responsive to my concerns. John is my hygienist. Like everyone at ADG he is friendly, courteous, gentle, and professional. He knows his job backwards and forwards and he listens to his patients and always does a wonderful job. They take every possible precaution to keep the office safer in a post-Covid world. The dentists have gowns, hats, masks and face shields and everyone in the office is masked. The waiting room chairs are distant from each other and the reception has plexiglas dividers. Everyone on staff is dedicated to the needs of the patient, and they are friendly and professional across the board. Every time I go there I immediately sense the incredible teamwork in the office. I’ve been recommending ADG to people for years: happy to do so on Google."

"Our whole family has been visiting with Drs Hausmann, Sanford, Doran, and Ruiz for over two decades.Avon Family Dentistry is an extremely well-run ship, from appointment setting and keeping, cleaning, check ups, cavities etc., for folks from 3 to 173, and for referrals for other dental procedures.No need to look any further. You've already arrived."
"Avon family dentistry inspires confidence in the patients that they serve. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have dental work done."
"I moved with the practice when it went to Avon from Bloomfield. Everyone is courteous, they are always on time and I had no concerns about keeping an appointment during Covid as they are always mindful of cleaning, not just your teeth."
"Caring, competent professionals! I saw Sarah, the hygienist, and my cleaning was thorough and painless. Dr. Ruiz checked my teeth and was thorough, professional, and very easy to talk with. They take Covid precautions seriously and I felt very safe during my visit. Top notch!"
"I visited Dr. Ruiz at Avon Family Dentistry this week due to pain in one of my molars. After reviewing my X-rays, he spent a lot of time explaining the options I had moving forward. His explanations were very clear and easily understandable. He followed up with a phone call and answered more questions I had. Over the years I have been very impressed with the expertise and care I have received from the dentists as well as the staff at Avon Family Dentistry."

"Had a good visit. Technician was informed that I was on a blood thinner and was careful in the cleaning procedure. However, I did not like the brushed on fluoride because it did not dissolve and left a lingering bad taste in my mouth. I had to peak off the waxy residue and use mouthwash to try to get rid of the taste hours later than the treatment. My stomach felt upset too. Next time I will go back to the fluoride rinse."
"Office staff, hygienist, and Doctors are always pleasant and make you comfortable whetheryou are having a regular cleaning or dental work."
"I absolutely love Avon Family Dentistry. All doctors and staff are experienced, professional, and very nice. 5 STARS!"

"100% recommended. Office hours are very convenient and compatible with school and worker parents. All doctors are very friendly and knowledgeable. We have had Avon Family Dentistry for 3 years and we will have them forever. Hygienists and front desk staff are very kind and helpful."
"I put my trust in Dr. Knowles as my dentist and Heidi as my hygienist. I have been a patient at Avon Dental Group since 1972 and have seen the practice develop over the years.I have always received excellent dental care and would never consider going any place else."
