Impacting Lives One Smile At A Time

We call this the “Happy Visit!” It is vital that children start their early dental experiences with fun, easy, non-threatening visits. Our dental hygienists are great with the little ones. At our dental center, your children will learn about the suction (“Mr. Thirsty”), the water squirter, the bright light, and, if they are ready for it, the tickling toothbrush.
Teaching The Importance Of Oral Health At A Young Age
A great way to gradually introduce your children to the dentist is to bring them along on your dental visit! By doing so, you give your child the chance to get acclimated to the dental environment. Parents can play a big part in showing that going to the dentist isn’t something to be afraid of.
By making every experience a positive one, you can help ensure that going to the dentist will never be something your child avoids because of fear. This also allows our dentists to begin checking your children’s teeth early, to ensure that they are practicing good brushing and oral care.
At Future of Dentistry, we understand your concern for your child’s oral health. We will help you make the right choices to ensure that your child has a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile for years to come!
Essential At-Home Dental Care Habits To Develop
Here are some things you and your child can do at home to maintain oral health and make your dentist visits that much smoother!
- Brush your teeth 2 times a day.
- Floss every day.
- Eat nutritious foods.
- Cut down on sugary beverages.
We invite all parents to help their children develop good eating and cleaning habits early in life, so they can continue to enjoy great health well into adulthood.
Athletic Mouth Guards
Every child who plays sports should have a customized mouth guard. Research shows custom-fit mouth guards help prevent concussions and other head injuries, in addition to protecting the teeth. Ask our staff how custom guards make a difference — and ask about our programs to help make sports guards affordable for local families.
Dental Sealants
Looking for a little extra help keeping bacteria and plaque buildup at bay? Dental sealants may be the answer.
Sealants act as a shield against all sorts of harmful substances that can get stuck in between and along the surface of your teeth. They’re a great preventative measure for children and teenagers struggling with good oral cleaning habits.
The sealant itself is a thin, clear plastic coating that is painted onto the surface of the teeth and in all the little grooves where bacteria loves to collect. Sealants are particularly advantageous for the back teeth, specifically molars and premolars.
Sealant Procedure
The dental sealant procedure is quick and painless, with no anesthesia, shots, or enamel removal required. The teeth are cleaned with a special gel to ensure all debris has been removed for the sealant is placed. Once the sealant is applied, we use a bright curing light to speed up the hardening process.
One set of sealants can last upwards of ten years! They are a safe, effective defense against decay.
Invest In Your Child’s Health
We at Future of Dentistry are excited to get your children started down the path of great oral hygiene. To learn more about our pediatric services, visit our office!

My first time going today. Such a friendly staff. The receptionist Kim was more than helpful with finding out info about my insurance coverage. The hygienist Doris was amazing. She explained everything so well. She was so sweet and we had some laughs as well. Highly recommend this place.
Hi I went for my first visit there yesterday the practice was well known by a friend of mine and I had a great experience from Kim the receptionist and the hygienist Doris to dr Astoria all we’re so nice and well welcoming and I so appreciate it I would recommend this dentist practice to all can’t wait to next visit. Thanks again
Everyone is friendly and understanding. The dentist is amazing and always attentive to detail. The fact that they do most procedures in one place is great. I feel super comfortable about everything they do!
1st visit, the team went above and beyond welcoming and offering high level of care. They were amazing with my elderly mother, just very compassionate taking time to fully explain everything and made her visit wonderful. Really can't say enough, definitely a 5 star place based on the staff alone.
Like many people, I have struggled with medical anxiety for my entire life. However, visiting Future of Dentistry in Dracut, MA has transformed my perspective of what going to the dentist can be like. As a patient at FoD, both my physical and emotional comfort is always made a top priority during my visits. I am encouraged to do whatever is needed to help the process go smoothly, whether it's bringing a stuffed toy or listening to music during procedures. I have also learned so much about dental care from the practitioners who continually answer my questions with plenty of information and patience. I always recommend this place to others, stating that "it's the best dental office I have ever been to!" Thanks to everyone at FoD in Dracut!
I just moved to Dracut and I broke a tooth! I got Facebook recommendations for a few dental practices. I left a message for Future of Dentistry and they called back immediately. Excellent customer service. They fit me in right away and even scheduled a cleaning within one week. Very professional front desk, Dentist, dental assistant and hygienist. The admin knew alot about our two insurance plans. Very personable and caring staff! I highly recommend this group.
I love this dental office. The staff are so compassionate and really respect your wishes. Amazing Hygienist and amazing Dentists.
Fantastic staff. Professional, friendly, and caring. Highly recommended!
Everyone is so kind and compassionate! Dr.Austria has a gentle touch! They are AMAZING!
I just started going to this dentist and I love it. I have an extreme dentil phobia and everyone makes me feel welcome and assured that I will be okay. I just got a temporary filling and the numbing works so well, I didn’t feel a thing. They even gave me a blanket to calm me down and explained everything they were doing to me. Definitely recommend this place.
Everyone at this practice is welcoming and helpful. Tanya, who has been my Dental Hygienist for many years, is excellent and the reason that I stayed with the practice after Dr. Vermette left. I have been very happy with that decision and happily drive the 25+ miles to get there.
Cori is amazing!! Extremely knowledgeable and very willing to provide dental education each visit. Appointments are always on time and the environment is spotless. I’ve convinced my whole family to receive their dental care here. Would highly recommend!!
Can’t say enough wonderful things about this team at the Dracut location. I have such a phobia of the dentist and I had a dental emergency and was in agony for days over the holiday weekend. After seeing my regular dentist and being disappointed with their recommendations, I called this office after it was highly recommended by a friend. This was the best decision I could have made. I called and explained my situation, they got me right in, provided me with all the information I needed in order for me to make the best decision possible. They made me feel comfortable, cared for, like family. Dr Oliver Austria and his assistant Courtney were top notch. For any and all dental needs, please run to this office, you will not be disappointed!
I had Dr Oliver Austria for invisalign. There was an add for a free consultation online. I set an appointment, had a full consultation with x rays, advised of several options available to me and walked out without spending one penny. Dr Austria is fiercely meticulous, graduated from Tufts university and is the best of the best.
Awesome staff across the board. Been to this location and Wakefield, very highly recommended both locations and all staff.
Came in the office so scared in the past in other offices the atmosphere was so different but I was greeted with a smile the staff was so knowledgeable made me feel comfortable and I had a pleasant experience. Will definitely recommend this office to many of my friends and coworkers and above all the work was done professional and proficient .
Everyone here are so nice and lovely , beginning with the Staffs to the Hygienists and Doctor. If you a new patient and looking for a great place to go to, please give Future of Dentistry - Dracut a chance and you won't regret.
Very professional office and all clean protocols in place. Interested in the what's best for the patient. Takes time to explain things and answer questions.
I cannot say enough great things about Future of Dentistry. My visits are like spending time with my friends. From the minute I walk in to the time I leave “ I truly enjoy going to the dentist” Thank you Dr. Austria and all of the Dracut FOD family
Best dentists and hygienist ever. Super competent and kind staff. I actually love going for appointments. Could not ask for better or more responsive care for my family or me.
Excellent staff and service. My family and I have gone to this dental office for years. Tanya is the best hygienist ever! They are always on time for your appointments too! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a new dental office!
I have had Tanya as my dental hygienist for several years now She is always friendly ,caring,and professional. She does an excellent job each and every time.I have also had to have procedures done over the last 2 years , caps and fillings and am very pleased with the quality of care I received by Dr Austria and his assistant.
I can really say, I enjoy visiting the dentist when I come here. Kim always remembers my name and greets me warmly when I arrive. My hygienist Cori tailors my care around my comfort level as best as possible and Dr. Austria is friendly, gentle and very knowledgeable. I have referred many friends and family to this office and will continue to do so. Keep up the good work!
