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)474-9503 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.
Drs. Imam and Khan of the Maine Center for Dental Medicine are dedicated to providing mercury free, biological dentistry solutions to patients in and around the area of Skowhegan, Maine. Their facility is equipped with some of the most advanced equipment and treatment options, including ozone therapy.
What is ozone?
When patients think of ozone, they think of the air. They are aware of the ozone layer and how it is being destroyed with today’s levels of air pollution. However, this naturally occurring gas is used throughout the world in a variety of ways. Ozone is used for sterilizing public water systems, cleaning fruits and vegetables that we eat, and can purify spa baths and swimming pools. The medical community uses ozone to facilitate faster healing times following surgeries and for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. When patients visit the dentist, they may request ozone therapy with many of their procedures to ensure healing is speedy and natural.
Who offers ozone dentistry?
The team of the Maine Center for Dental Medicine is excited to integrate ozone therapy into dental surgeries for the benefit of the patient.
Interested in ozone dentistry?
A holistic, biological dentist such as Dr. Imam or Dr. Khan can provide treatments while incorporating ozone for faster, more natural healing. When patients are ready to discuss options such as ozone dentistry with a professional, they are encouraged to visit the Maine Center for Dental Medicine. Our facility has some of the most experienced staff available for quality care and attention. Contact our practice at (207) 474-9503 to schedule a consultation appointment or visit us at 59 Pleasant Street. Skowhegan, Maine patients and those living in the surrounding communities are welcome to work with our team of professionals to enjoy comprehensive dental care solutions for their smiles.
I have been going to see Drs. Khan and Imman for several years now. I am thoroughly impressed with their advanced education and attention to the patient's pain. They always explain, in advance of doing any work, the intricacies, pros and cons of different approaches. I have total faith in both of their professional abilities and also have recommended them to everyone I know who is looking for dentists. They are both immensely kind people, tremendous dentists and all their support staff is exceptionally pleasant and helpful.

The team at this dental office is superb. My amalgams were removed with great ease and all precautions for mercury removal were taken. They are such a caring bunch of professionals. I will definitely continue taking the 5 hour drive to this office and continue being a patient at this dental office.
