What is DDS? Donated Dental Services
What is DDS? Donated Dental Services
May 24, 2016
0 Comments
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.

Not unlike other people, I have a strong fear of going to the dentist. They were very understanding, accommodating and compassionate. All was explained clearly and with care. I have no hesitation going back for next appointment and would highly recommend this dental practice.

I had a fantastic experience at my recent visit to Seasons of Smiles Dental. They were able to schedule me for a last minute cleaning that I desperately needed. From the moment I stepped into their clean and stylish waiting room, I felt at ease. I was greeted with friendly smiles by the staff and only waited briefly for my appointment. Kelly was gentle but efficient and I left the office feeling great!I also appreciated the efficient text system for appointment reminders. It made rescheduling a breeze!If you’re looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend visiting Dr. Medina at Seasons of Smiles.

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.

Seasons of smiles has been my dentist for many years. Very informative, We talk about the how and why of dentistry every time I'm there! Dr Medina always lets you know exactly what needs to be done, and how to improve your smile.

One more post today for Dr.Medina - although I love the background music that he plays to help the comfortable atmosphere in the office, I REALLY LOVED the Hawaiian music today! Loved Israel's singing and the relaxing music! Good choice, Dr. Medina!!!👍

My mom had the absolute best visit with the dentist. It was an emergency and she wasn’t even their patient and they were able to get her in in 2 days and temporarily fixed her problem. She will be going back for more work that needs to be done. But in the meantime they made it possible for her to not be embarrassed by her broken tooth. I would HIGHLY recommend using them to take care of any of your dental needs. Everyone in the office was wonderful to my mom!!!

Now is the best time to buy and invest in cryptocurrency.
Trading with a trusted account manager is what can make your dreams come through, Mr George Robert has the best trading strategies to win. I thought of that when I saw a post recommending him in a page here on Facebook, until I gave him a try and the outcome was great for me. Making over 3.177444 Bitcoins (BTC) which is equivalent to $72,800 out of $1,500 first trade was a whole lot of profit for me. The Crypto market has potentials to create unimaginable wealth. you can contact him via

I’m a new patient. The staff made me feel very comfortable and didn’t pressure me into making decisions on the spot. I had gotten a lot of information to digest and certainly needed time to sort it.
And I thank them for their patience.

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! 👍🏻

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
