Dental Implants
A: Dr. Lawlor prides himself on not hurting patients and offers extensive options to avoid pain and discomfort. We want you to be comfortable from the moment you walk in the door to when you are at home recovering on the couch. Most of our patients are able to return to work the next day and are amazed at how great they feel. Some patients claim to feel better after the procedure than before they came in! We offer a wide range of sedation, numbing gels, customized anesthetic and medications to minimize or even eliminate post-operative pain. Welcome to a world of pain-free dentistry!
A: Implants are the most requested and advanced option for replacing missing teeth. Most people are amazed at how natural and strong they feel! Since they are fully integrated into the bone and made of medically pure titanium, dental implants have a 96% success rate when placed with a 3D guide. At Maine Dentistry, we use only the highest quality implants and utilized a 3D guided process to ensure your implant goes in a pain-free position for function and longevity. Any alteration from the ideal can drastically reduce the lifespan of the implant.
A: When implants are placed with a customized 3D guide, they are placed in the most ideal position and are the closest replacement to real teeth. They look just like normal teeth and are very strong so you can eat with confidence.
A: Because implants are made of titanium and porcelain, they do not get cavities. Simply keep them brushed to make sure the gums are healthy and keep your regular checkups to make sure they last a lifetime!

Dr. Lawlor belongs to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists and has been specifically trained in cosmetic dentistry. The American Dental Association does not issue special certifications or licenses indicating which dentists are cosmetic dentists and which are not. The dentist you go to for twice-yearly check-ups is probably not going to be the same dentist you go to for cosmetic enhancement. Unless you’re in the qualified hands of Dr. Lawlor!
We bill most dental insurances and accept credit cards or CareCredit as forms of payments. Unfortunately, we don’t accept MaineCare. Any questions? We’re here to help!
