Welcome to Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry

Welcome to Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry in Falmouth, ME

Family-owned and family-focused, our dedicated team offers expert care you can trust.

Since 1976, Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry has been a full-service practice caring for children of all ages. We believe that each of us can have a lifetime of healthy oral hygiene—if we start with proper dental habits as children.

We take the time to educate each of our patients on the benefits of proper brushing and flossing techniques. Investing in a solid foundation can help your children avoid costly interventions in the future.

Above all, we are friendly and compassionate professionals. We are specially trained and devoted to helping young children feel good about seeing the dentist and taking care of their teeth. We strive to provide the highest level of dental care through a combination of love, gentleness, efficiency, prevention and mutual respect among child, parent and professional.

ROUTINE CARE
On each visit, we will take the time to make your child’s visit enjoyable and to answer all your and your child’s questions. This is important to keep your child’s primary teeth healthy.
DENTAL RESTORATIONS

The American Dental Association states that sedation dentistry is a safe and effective way to help children relax—especially those with dental anxiety or having a hard time sitting still—so they can receive dental restorations.

FIRST VISITS
We support the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry’s recommendation to schedule a child’s first dental visit by his or her first birthday. Our doctors and staff focus on making the first visit as positive and comfortable as possible.
ORTHODONTICS
At FPD, we recognize the power of orthodontics to transform children’s self-image and boost their confidence, while helping avoid future problems from misaligned teeth. We also recognize that kids may come in with negative expectations about the orthodontic process, so we strive to make it as painless as possible.

Meet our Dentist, John M. Willis, DDS

After growing up in South Portland, Dr. John graduated from Gordon College in Massachusetts, received a Master’s in Education from the University of Akron, and began his career in teaching and coaching basketball and soccer. This was the foundation of his exceptional ability to relate to children when he followed in the footsteps of his father, also called Dr. John Willis, who founded Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry in 1976.

After four years in dental school at SUNY Buffalo, Dr. John (the son) completed a two-year residency in the specialty of Pediatric Dentistry at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. In 2017, he returned to Maine, and joined his current practice. Dr. John is excited to now be the majority owner of the practice, and is focused on “helping children by providing the highest quality dental care.”

Now living in Portland, Dr. John coaches a boys varsity high school basketball team; plays golf and loves lake and ocean boating; roots for Boston sport teams and the Tottenham Hotspurs soccer team in the English Premier League; and enjoys spending time with his large family, including seven nieces and nephews.

Patient Reviews

My daughter is Autistic and has a lot of anxiety. This is the first dentist where she has actually felt comfortable going to. They are always very patient with her.

Softie C.

All 3 of my kids are seen here. They have always gotten great care. Office staff is very pleasant.

Karen B.

My kids love the doc – have always cried with other dentists. We finally found the place we will keep coming back to.

David S.

I drive over an hour to take my three kids here and it’s totally worth it (and NO, I’m not a friend or family member). Not sure what the negative review people are complaining about. They are super friendly and great with the kids unlike dentists I’ve used in the past who get irritated very easily with children. I’ve been late a couple times and it was never a problem.
