Of course nobody really likes going to the dentist, but my last one left me with such a bad taste…read morein my mouth I was afraid I'd never find anyone trustworthy enough to stick their fingers and shiny, sharp instruments in my pie hole ever again. When I told a colleague my horror story, she recommended Progressive and even gave me a recommendation card with a discount off of my first visit. When I called to schedule my appointment, I was told that all initial visits take about two hours. Yikes- that's a long time to keep a mouth open! At 8:00 on the appointed morning I opened the door with trepidation. My reaction was immediate- relief! The waiting room was cheerful and bright and the receptionist friendly and welcoming. The other patients even looked happy to be there. I sat down long enough to text my husband about my good feelings when I was called back by a smiley hygienist who gave me a tour of the office. A tour! Never once have I ever been given a tour of a dentist's office. It's clean, modern, and every employee I passed smiled and waved. The two hours flew right by! Regrettably I can't remember my hygienist's name- but she was really sweet and funny. She and the dentist, Dr. Fox, asked me lots of questions, walked me through my x-rays, explained every step of the cleaning process, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my entire visit. Not only did they tell me the work I would need done to improve my smile, but they also recognized and praised my daily personal mouth care habits. Then they sent me on my way with a goodie bag of floss, tooth paste, a tooth brush, a water bottle, and an appointment in November. Progressive was such a breath of fresh air compared to my previous dental providers. They didn't try to bamboozle me. They weren't patronizing. They were kind and didn't act as though my presence was an inconvenience. They genuinely seem to enjoy and take pride in the work they do. I'm recommending them to all my friends. If you need a new dentist, this is the place to go!

TL;DR, if you have anxiety about dentists, if you don't have anxiety about dentists and need to…read morefind one in the greater Portland ME area? Call Dr Jean-Paul Boudreau's office. Ah, the 1970s. A time when men were men, women were women, and velour bell bottomed suits were a thing people actually left the house wearing without even a hint of irony. Unfortunately for young me, the 70s were also a time when it was considered perfectly appropriate for dentists to be absolutely terrifying to kids, and border on abuse. The first dentist I had as a child in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood was right along Center Street, and nearly everyone I knew would see him, and every single kid who did see him would burst into tears at the thought of having to go, or even the mention of his name. Not exaggerating here, this dentist would do nothing to alleviate children's anxiety, and in fact would seem to go out of his way to make things WORSE. Frankly I could go on for hours about how horrible the dentist visit were when I was a kid. From the bitewings he used being made for adult mouths to x-ray, which would lacerate a child's gums, to how he would have one of his dental assistants (literally) kneel on your chest and restrain your head if you cried and got upset. Oh, and when you were done? Know what he'd do? Give you a lollypop. No joke. You just came in because you had a cavity that needed filling, your mouth is numb, your face is covered with tears and you're traumatized? Here. Have some fucking sugar. Needless to say that as an adult, I would rarely go to the dentist. I had issues galore, evident gum problems, but even with good dental insurance I'd only go if there was a major problem (read: Pain). So, when I started having severe pain in my teeth and jaw, I had serious anxiety and put if off for days and days. Thankfully one of my friends suggested I visit Dr Boudreau. When I got there and we talked, I admitted that it had been years since my last dental visit, and told him about the dentist I'd had as a kid. And know what Dr Boudreau did? He listened. And he acknowledged how horrible that was and how it could be in the past. Talk about a different experience. From there he assessed my teeth, figured out what the issue was (actually a sinus infection that was putting pressure on nerves up around my teeth... who knew that was a thing? Apparently him), and then came up with a plan to deal with the not-inconsiderable amount of plaque under my gums. That was about 3 years ago, give or take. After numerous visits, and the use of several heavy duty belt sanders to chisel away at the decades of buildup, my gums are today quite happy. Could I do better at flossing? Yes. Yes I could. Old dogs, new tricks, etc etc, and this dog ain't quick to change habits! BUT I no longer have borderline panic attacks at the thought of getting in the chair. Dr Boudreau's offices are clean, well lit, and man does he have some high tech toys!! I mean granted, when I was a kid the average dentist's office looked like something out of an H. R. Giger illustration. They'd take an x-ray, and this fucking massive swing arm device would be laboriously turned your way, they'd have you bite the thing and destroy your gums, put on the lead apron, then the staff would yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE" and dive into a lead lined bunker. Frankly I'm amazed I don't have an arm growing out of my neck. ANYway, Dr Boudreau's office has these wicked cool portable x-ray things that look like a nifty prop out of Battlestar Galactica. In fact everything is far more cool and high tech than anything I'd seen previously. And when he does a filling? Scoops in some sort of stinky goo, shapes it, then takes a little Sonic Screwdriver looking thing and goes "BOOP... BOOP", and that's it. Filling is done. Well, I mean after the novocaine and the drilling, of course. Fucking technology, man. I love it. Everyone I've met who works with Dr Boudreau are also great. Professional, friendly, really easy to talk to, and I have to admit, going to the dentist's office is now an almost pleasurable experience. I mean, as long as you don't mind someone taking a metal hook and going "scrape scrape scrape" to your face. But "pleasurable" as opposed to "horrifying and traumatic". So yeah. I'll take it. But they're all great. If you need a dentist? Go see him. If you're also Gen-X and used to the horrors of dentists in the 70s and 80s in particular.

From the moment I walked in the door I felt reassured and confident that I would be treated with respect. Kim and Sunny were an absolute joy. They both went above and beyond to get me the help for my dental issues in a prompt and courteous manner. The other lady at the front desk is pleasant and kind as well (sorry, I did not catch her name). Doctor Alan Chebuske is the very meaning of what it is to be a doctor. I have seen many doctors in my years and can honestly say that I have never met one that made me feel as respected, reassured and calm as this doctor. He was pressured for time but it never showed. He made me feel like every moment he had to spend with me was the most important moment to him. He paid attention to me as a whole and did not once disregard anything I had to say and was therefore able to reach a full understanding of my overall dental needs. I never knew that my back pain played a roll with my neck and jaw pain. I simply cannot say enough about his gentle and kind manners. I must also mention that his education is apparently supreme. Like I said, I've never seen a dentist that knew so much about how everything works together. If you're looking for the BEST general dentist in Portland then look no further! You have found him for sure!!

PHENOMENAL Dental practice!!!…read more But first, a little history...I was recently given a rather dire prognosis during an emergency visit to my former Dentist. I left her office in shock, with little explanation of how the current problem could have occurred, and a paper copy of a referral to an oral surgeon. I was basically left to fend for myself without experience and was completely overwhelmed. This came as a shock, so I began looking for a second opinion. In speaking with the Reception staff and Patient Coordinator at Peak Dental by phone, I was immediately taken by how present they were in listening to my situation and working to find an open slot to fit me in right away. Once there, I was greeted warmly and they spent over TWO HOURS hours with me, talking/listening, examining, photographing, reviewing transferred X-Rays and creating a path forward out of the mess I had found myself in. I can honestly say that Kaitlyn is the best, I repeat - THE BEST, Dental Hygenist that I've ever had the pleasure to be treated by (I'm a huge Chicken...Dental anxiety doesn't begin to describe it!). She was incredibly present (great listening skills), patient and gentle in performing a thorough examination and forming an assessment. We were then joined by Dr. Anders, who reviewed the transferred X-Rays, along with new images they had taken during Kaitlyn's examination. Dr. Anders explained the situation and possible causes in great detail and patiently addressed all of my questions. They formulated a treatment plan that would not only address and resolve the situation that I had found myself in, but one that would all but guarantee that something like this will NOT occur again! Lastly, I worked with their Billing Rep to work out the finer details - she was funny, knowledgeable and super helpful! Needless to say, I have switched dentists and will now be a happy client of Peak Dental Health from this point forward. As a side note...The folks at Peak Dental truly understand the importance of up-to-date technology and have all of the bells and whistles that you would expect to see in a larger, metropolitan dental office. When I first moved back to Maine and discovered that a 'deep cleaning' consisted of a Hygenist trying to slip a metal pick 5mm under the gumline and sadistically scrape away for 45 minutes, I thought I had accidentally taken a wrong turn and ended up back in the Dark Ages...Folks, it's stuff like this that makes Maine look like a cultural backwater. You will NOT encounter the low-tech approach at Peak Dental or their staff - You'll be in great hands!
