The foundation of a healthy smile is not a single procedure or a one-time fix, it is consistent, honest, preventive care delivered by a team that genuinely pays attention.
At 207 Dental in Auburn, ME, general dentistry is approached the way everything else at our practice is approached: with honesty, with the right technology, and with the kind of genuine investment in each patient’s long-term health that makes every routine visit feel like more than just a cleaning. We are not here to polish your teeth and send you home. We are here to make sure you actually understand what is happening in your mouth and to catch the small things before they become the expensive things.
Cleanings, Exams, & The Case For Consistency
The patients who fare best over the long term are almost always the ones who show up consistently, not the ones who only come in when something hurts. By the time a tooth is painful, the underlying problem has almost always been developing for months or years. Routine professional cleanings remove the calcified tartar and bacterial deposits that daily brushing cannot address, and comprehensive exams give our team the opportunity to identify developing concerns at their earliest and most treatable stage. At 207 Dental, no exam is rushed, and no finding goes unexplained. We take the time to show you what we see and make sure you understand what it means before any treatment conversation begins.
Digital X-rays
Our practice uses digital X-ray technology that produces high-resolution diagnostic images with significantly less radiation than traditional film-based imaging, available for immediate chairside review. When we can show you exactly what we are looking at on a screen in real time, the conversation about your oral health becomes clearer, more honest, and more useful than any verbal description alone could be.
Oral Cancer Screenings
An oral cancer screening is performed at every comprehensive exam appointment as a standard component of care. Early detection is the single most important factor in successful treatment outcomes, and a thorough visual and tactile examination of the oral tissues takes only minutes but delivers meaningful peace of mind.
Fluoride Treatment & Sealants
Professional fluoride applications strengthen enamel at the mineral level and provide concentrated protection that significantly exceeds what fluoride toothpaste alone can deliver. Dental sealants coat the deep grooves of the back teeth where the vast majority of cavities develop, creating a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that dramatically reduces decay risk during the cavity-prone years and beyond. Both are quick, painless, and genuinely effective preventive investments.
CuroDent®
207 Dental offers CuroDent as part of our commitment to advanced periodontal care. Gum disease is one of the most chronically undertreated conditions in dentistry, and our investment in advanced periodontal training and tools like CuroDent reflects a practice that takes gum health as seriously as tooth health. We are not just polishing teeth, we are actively working to identify, treat, and manage periodontal disease in a way that protects both your oral health and your overall wellbeing.
Sports Mouthguards & Nightguards
Custom-fitted athletic mouthguards protect teeth, soft tissue, and jaw joints from sports-related trauma in ways that store-bought options simply cannot match. Custom nightguards protect against the damage caused by grinding and clenching during sleep — one of the most consistent threats to otherwise healthy teeth and existing restorations. Both are fabricated using digital scanning for a precise, comfortable fit.
TMD Treatment
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and bite discomfort related to temporomandibular joint dysfunction are evaluated and managed at 207 Dental with conservative, patient-centered approaches designed to relieve symptoms and address the underlying cause rather than simply masking discomfort.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a simple procedure that releases a restrictive frenum attachment affecting speech, feeding, or oral function. Our team evaluates frenum involvement and discusses the procedure clearly with every patient or parent before any treatment is recommended.
Oral Health & The Rest Of Your Body
What happens in your mouth does not stay there. Gum disease has established connections to cardiovascular disease, blood sugar regulation, respiratory health, and pregnancy outcomes. At 207 Dental, we communicate this connection consistently because an informed patient is always a healthier one, and because treating your mouth means caring about the rest of you too.
