Karen Davis at Seasons of Smiles Dental

The Donated Dental Services (DDS) is an organization that provides free, comprehensive dental treatment to our country’s most vulnerable people with disabilities or who are elderly or medically fragile. These are people who cannot afford necessary treatment and cannot get help in any other way. Program coordinators link volunteer dentists and labs with patients in need.
One of our Seasons of Smiles Dental patients, Karen Davis, came to us through DDS. She has been given a beautiful new smile and is delighted to tears, not just her tears but ours as well. Karen gave our office permission to share her pictures and her story because she says that she can see her real self now when she looks in the mirror, and she wants others to see that there are possibilities for their smiles also.

“Now that I have new teeth I can go find a cowboy!” Karen Davis

Karen, you have a beautiful smile. Thank you for letting us film it.” Dr. Medina

We at Seasons of Smiles Dental would like to thank Larry Nummerdor and staff at D&S Dental Laboratory for their contribution in this project.
More information on Donated Dental Services can be found here, or by calling the Dental Lifeline for Maine at (207) 620-8276 to speak with the program coordinator, Ann Caron.

Who doesn’t love having clean teeth? It’s a great day when I get to have my teeth cleaned by Kim at Seasons of Smiles. She is gentle, very thorough and shares her insights for how to continue to care for my teeth. I have been a patient of Dr. Medina’s for about 18 years and I couldn’t be happier. I know everyone in my family is getting the best care for our teeth and gums.

I have been to a lot of dentists and I’m one tough customer. My mouth is very sensitive and I’m a big, fat cry baby.

Dr Medina (and crew!) is the best dentist that has ever worked on my mouth!

They are focused on keeping you comfortable and to have as minimal pain as possible. They are also “teeth perfectionists”. Everything they do is done right. I’m so happy to have Season of Smiles as my dental office! They are amazing! 👍🏻

Its obvious that your teeth are as important to them as your teeth are to you. They want you to be pleased with the outcome of your visit.

I have gone to them for just about my whole life! I’m terrified of the dentist but they give such a personal & caring experience, it makes it so much easier. The rest of my family hasn’t been in years, but the staff never forgets to ask how each family member is doing. Amazing people and great work!

If all dentist offices, including all personnel, were like this office my teeth wouldn’t be in such rough shape. They give good advice without criticizing. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend Seasons of Smiles. Jon Skinner
