I have been a patient of Progressive Dental Care for many years. During that time I have received consistently excellent dental care from the staff, including dentists and hygienists. My dental hygienist, Vanessa, is excellent-very professional, conscientious, caring and thorough.

I’ve been going to Progressive since I moved to Maine in 2019. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Kayleigh and Dr Gold are professional, thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. I am very pleased especially since the new owners have arrived. Although, the service was also good, in the past it had been difficult to see a doctor which is not the case now.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions From New Patients

Will you do a teeth cleaning at first visit?

Many people will ask if they can have their teeth cleaned at their new patient visit.  We make every attempt to do so if there is time available.  Sometimes we do need to reappoint and we will let you know as we proceed through your exam.

Is your clinic kid friendly?

We LOVE kids here at Progressive Dental Care! We want your child to have a fun, educational, and positive visit with us. We will take it slow, explain what we are doing, and take cues from the child. We will teach them to brush and care for their own teeth, polish and place fluoride varnish. At the end of the appointment, we invite the kids to join our “No Cavity Club” and pick a prize out of our prize closet for doing such a great job!

We invite you to sit in on the hygiene/cleaning visit.

What does a hygiene exam look like?

Your hygienist will  take your blood pressure, complete an oral cancer screening, and thoroughly examine as well as chart your teeth and gums on our computerized system.

She will review her findings with you, give you home care advice and demonstrate how to clean and keep your teeth healthy for a lifetime.

What does the first visit look like?

We will Listen

Your hygienist will sit down with you, review your medical history as well as listen to any dental concerns or questions that you may have.

We Take Thorough Records

We then take any necessary digital x rays and digital photographs.
