Services
Cleanings
Our professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent gum disease and maintain oral health. Our hygienists use specialized tools for thorough cleaning above and below the gum line, followed by polishing and fluoride treatment. This preventive service helps detect early signs of dental issues while keeping teeth looking their best.
X-rays
We utilize digital X-rays for accurate diagnosis of dental conditions not visible during routine exams. This technology detects cavities, gum disease, bone loss, and other oral health issues with minimal radiation exposure. Our dental professionals interpret these images to create personalized treatment plans for optimal patient care.
Fillings/Restorations
Our restorative treatments repair damaged teeth using tooth-colored fillings and advanced materials. We assess each case individually to determine the most appropriate restoration method, from simple fillings to more complex inlays or onlays. This service restores tooth function while maintaining natural aesthetics and preventing further decay.
Root Canals
We perform root canal treatments to save severely damaged or infected teeth. This procedure removes infected pulp tissue, cleans the root canal system, and seals the space to prevent reinfection. Our approach prioritizes patient comfort while preserving natural teeth and avoiding extraction when possible.
Dentures
We provide customized denture solutions to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. Our services include complete and partial dentures designed for comfort, aesthetics, and proper fit. We guide patients through the process from initial consultation to final adjustments, ensuring optimal adaptation to their new dental prosthetics.

If you are African American & on Mainecare do not go here. I went to CD with an emergency. They said sorry we can't help. After telling them I will call 911, they offered to look at it. This never happened. I spent 3 hours waiting. A white man comes in with an emergency, they ask him to fill out the paperwork, & someone will come to assist. Racist. Awful, do not go.

Every person I've talked to there has been so unbelievably rude. I don't want to go to this office AT ALL and sadly have no choice due to insurance. I've never hated a place or had so much anxiety regarding dental work in my life. Awful.

Through my job, I met an employee at Community Dental who helped me sign up after going six years without dental care. I have been a regular patient for three years now, had a lot of work done and have been very happy with it. Amanda Sebok changed my dental health for the better, and continues to be my dental advisor and advocate! I highly recommend Community Dental.
