We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.
Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.
Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued.
You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:
Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You'll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.
We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call our office at (207) 808-7355 or visit our website at

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.
Dentistry incorporates a variety of procedures and services to help you enjoy your natural teeth as long as possible, support oral health, and enable you to feel good about your appearance throughout your lifetime.
There are a number of ways in which the appearance of teeth can be improved today. From lifelike porcelain veneers to dental implants to professional teeth whitening, the possibilities for enhancement are exciting.
To design a smile that suits your personality, we carry out a thorough examination and consultation. In order to plan treatment, we must first understand your concerns. It is important to identify what you do not like about your smile as well as what you would like your teeth to look like.
Cosmetic dental treatment can:
Change the shape of a tooth or teeth
Improve the color of teeth
Give the appearance of alignment
Achieve optimal proportions between visible gum tissue and enamel
Close gaps, fill cracks and smooth chips
At Maine Center for Dental Medicine, we believe that everyone deserves a happy smile! Cosmetic dentistry is tailored to individual needs and performed with expertise and artistry.
Teeth whitening
One of the most popular ways to beautify the smile is to brighten the color of teeth with professional teeth whitening. We offer you the option of in-office treatment or home whitening that you can perform at your convenience. Each method has its benefits.
Many people like the idea of visiting our office for a single treatment and leaving with a gorgeous new smile. Chairside whitening involves at least one application of whitening gel and activation with light. Not only do you emerge with a brilliant smile, but you can expect heightened results over the course of a few days. We now also have laser whitening available in our office.
Home whitening is just as powerful as chairside whitening performed by our dental team. When you choose this method, you can manage your whitening process in the comfort of your own home. Results from the daily application of the safe, effective bleaching solution improve day by day, reaching their peak in a week to ten days.
From repairing small chips and cracks with porcelain veneers or crowns to removing silver amalgam fillings to replacing missing teeth with dental implants or dentures, our team puts their extensive skill to work to achieve results you will love. Contact Maine Center for Dental Medicine to schedule your consultation for cosmetic dental treatment.
