“Thorough!!”
I came to Maine Dentistry as a new patient. Carolyn was my hygienist and she was very open and honest with me. Honesty goes a long way with me, even if the truth hurts! Carolyn described the issues I was having, most of which I had never heard from other dentists. The main issue being my bite as the root of the cause for my chipped teeth. I want to thank Carolyn for being so thorough and open with me. I took her advice and will be making appointments every four months. Thank you!

I came in with much anxiety and Carolyn quickly put me at ease and made me comfortable. Dr Lawlor is super friendly and easy to talk to. Highly recommended.

“Such An Awesome Practice!”
Right from the beginning, Lori at the front desk was such a kind welcome! Carolyn was my hygienist and she was absolutely fantastic. So kind and really made me feel like she cared about me as a patient and as a person. Dr. Lawlor was so awesome and friendly. I recently switched to this practice and I'm so glad I did.

Comment - “ Look no further ”
So grateful to have been referred by a friend to this practice. From the moment you enter this PRISTINE office you get a sense you are in good hands. Utmost precaution taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 from questionnaire you need to fill out prior to visit, text Upon arrival and wait in car until notified they are ready for you, mandatory touch-less temperature check, mask (provided by staff) and required hand sanitizer. BRAVO! Just the tip of the iceberg
