Meet the Doctor
Bright and modern waiting room at Smilestories Maine, with comfortable seating, a large mirror, potted plants, and a bouquet of pink flowers on a white countertop. The room is well-lit with integrated ceiling lights—a welcoming space for your dentist visit.

It makes my day when I get to help people feel healthy and be proud of their reflection when they look in the mirror.
