Waited about 10 minutes after filling out paperwork. Was in and out in a little over an hour. The lady cleaning my teeth was SUPER nice and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I hate going to the dentist, but I will be sure to follow up every 6 months like I am supposed to considering how easy it all was. My teeth feel 100 times cleaner and so much better! Thank you!

When I politely asked the hygienist to wear a mask for our visit, she responded "Sure. But it's not mandatory and that's something we embrace here." I stopped short of the entrance of the room's entrance and said that if wearing a mask was an issue I could go to another practice instead. I appreciated that she put one on after that, but the comment was unprofessional. When Dr. Shane Bryant came in, he was wearing his mask only over his chin. When I asked him to put on his mask properly, he told me he was already wearing one. I had to ask him again to put it on properly to which he responded he would put it on once he was facing me. Mind you he was standing right next to me this whole time in an enclosed room. When he left the room at the end of the visit, he saluted me and I noticed his mask still wasn't covering his exposed nose. As I was leaving today I told the admin staff that I wouldn't be returning and explained why. My request for that extra layer of safety was not respected. I didn't want a culture war, I just wanted the medical professionals putting things in my mouth to mask properly. Growing up, my hygienists and dentists typically wore masks and face shields, this was long before COVID. I think it's really shameful that anti-masker types push back so hard against basic human decency. Masking really ought to be mandatory in medical settings still. But at a bare minimum, your medical providers should be happy to wear a mask if you request it. They work for you. As our government and institutions continue to ignore a public health crisis that has taken the lives of millions, the only leverage I have is to take my business elsewhere. Don't let your medical providers disrespect you if you have the option to choose someone else. I usually communicate my preferences ahead of the visit and that usually prevents days like today.

When I had a cracked and ultimately crumbling molar, I was quickly scheduled for a visit with Dr. Atienza, who performed several complicated procedures involving three posts, temporary and permanent crowns, virtually no pain, and finally, a restored and perfect tooth.

It's important that you know that she's very kind and very rushed and just plain unable to repair teeth. I'm left with a mess to fix. I will not get the mess fixed by dr.

I just don't want you to go through what I'm going through. No smiling because the teeth behind my cuspids on the top are missing. Because of her work.

I just don't want you to get hurt like I've been. I'm going to the dental school in Portland to get these two teeth fixed repaired at a really low cost. I can't afford to have dental implants anywhere else. I've spent a lot of money with them. I hope this review helps

Dr. Anders and Dental Assistant Crystal were each attentive to my shifting needs while in the chair and worked very well in tandem to create the most positive and effective visit possible...under some pretty intense circumstances. (I can be a very anxious dental patient.) For me, it all boils down to human touch, attention to detail and sensitivity. It felt more like Dr Anders was painting rather than drilling. I was aware of Crystal's gentle touch...and one or the other gently using his/her/their pinky finger on my jaw to steady a hand and achieve precision. Unbeknownst to me, I have - literally - driven across the country to find the dental team with 'the right touch.' It's expensive, but you get what you pay for...and they accept CareCredit, which removed any anxiety from the 'how am I going to pay for this thing I need??' part of the equation. The front desk staff did everything they could to help me navigate to their office (without gps or cellphone). Thank you Erin, Jody, Colin, Susan. Have I left anyone out?

I wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I have, and I feel responsible for speaking out. As I write this, I am still in a great deal of pain almost two years later. From the beginning, my experience at this office was frustrating. I came in with significant pain, hoping for real solutions, but instead, I was given round after round of antibiotics with no long-term plan. I made it clear which side of my mouth was hurting the most, yet somehow, work was done on the opposite side--something even the dental assistant questioned out loud in the room. After that, not only did my original pain persist, but new issues arose where they had done the unnecessary work. I ended up worse off after multiple visits, and some of the teeth they worked on only deteriorated further. The only bright spot in this office was the dental assistants. They were the only ones who seemed to listen and show any real concern. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the actual dentist, who ignored my concerns multiple times, or for the front desk staff. If the conversation wasn't about payments, they didn't seem to care. The front desk woman, Elyse (or Alyssa), was incredibly rude and dismissive no matter how much pain I was in. I was met with indifference at best, and outright rudeness at worst, every time I called in for help. This whole ordeal has taken a serious toll on me, both physically and financially. I trusted this office to help me, but instead, I've been left in pain, out a significant amount of money, and still searching for real treatment. I don't take leaving a review like this lightly, but I feel like people deserve to know what kind of experience they may have here.

Each day that I am blessed to work here, I continue to be impressed by the excellent patient care and relationships Dr. Myers has built with his patient's over the years. Each and every patient I see has been a patient of Dr.Myers for 20+ years, and each and every patient is so excited to catch up with Dr.Myers when they come in for their recall appointment's. If the patient is on frequent recalls for their cleanings, and not due for their exam that day Dr.Myers will always still come in to say hello to the patient, which is something I have never experienced in the past. Dr. Myers always takes the time for each and every patient, remembering intricate details about their life. For New patients, they always see Dr. Myers for their first appointment. This is something I have not experienced at any other office, and it sets the stage for building a strong & trusting dental relationship with Dr.Myers. He formulates a treatment plan specific to each patient, and reviews this in depth with them explaining and showing them the reason for each recommendation. Aside from this, I have hands down never seen such beautiful dental work that lasts!!! Most of the patient's are holding steady and are meticulous about their oral hygiene. I have worked as a dental hygienist for many dentists throughout the state, also temping for several years. Dr. Myers is the best dentist in the state of Maine, & the best employer I have ever had treating his patients & employees so well and taking such good care of all of us. I highly recommend Dr.Myers to everyone
