His work is obviously from great experience, which is rare to find in small town Maine. His prices are reasonable, and he is a very pleasant, easy going, laid back guy that puts you at ease right away. I HATED going to the dentist because of a lot of really bad prior experiences. Going to the dentist isn't an anxiety filled event for me anymore, and because of this great office my teeth will be in good condition again. Despite having a deep cavity with a very challenging filling (on my front tooth) the procedure was pain free, and the tooth now looks like it never even had a huge cavity. He was also very optimistic and encouraging on saving my cracked teeth-other dentists would have just suggested pulling them. This dentist is absolutely TOPS!!

By contrast, this office was the opposite, and put me at ease simply by being extremely professional, cheerful, polite, and very skilled and competent. The dentist is fast, cheerful, relaxed, but the thing that was most noteworthy when I got a few fillings done was that I had literally no pain during or after and I'm a complete wuss when it comes to dental pain. I highly, highly recommend this office.
