Damaged or lost teeth can lead to a less functional smile, worsening oral health, and a diminished sense of self-confidence. With a custom crown or bridge, you regain whats been lost! Better yet, our Calais location offers all-ceramic options for more aesthetic improvements that look natural.
Dr. Delaney recommends dental crowns in a wide variety of situations including severe decay, an injury, a generally weakened tooth, misshapen qualities that need correction, or as the finishing touch for a root canal or dental implant procedure. This restoration is designed to cap an individual tooth, providing a natural-looking, strong shape that will last.
Dental bridges, on the other hand, are designed to restore one or more missing teeth in a row. Many patients prefer this option to traditional dentures, as theyre fixed in place and sturdier overall than a removable solution. Patients will need healthy teeth on either side of the gap; dental crowns are placed over these teeth as anchors to maintain this lasting result.
If you have a tooth thats too damaged for a filling or crown, dont despair just yet root canal therapy can be a lifesaver in these situations. This procedure will involve Dr. Delaney cleaning out diseased pulp and bacteria from the inside of the tooth sealing it shut to prevent further infection and restoring it with a custom crown. This procedure may seem scary, but todays advances in technology have made it simpler and more comfortable than ever before. Plus, it has a high success rate and can help you enjoy a fully natural smile for many more years!
Extracting one or more teeth is never Dr. Delaneys first choice by far, but there are some situations where its necessary to protect the patients oral health and overall wellbeing. This is especially true when dealing with third molars, more commonly known as wisdom teeth. Because they typically dont erupt in your smile until the young adult years, theres often not enough room to accommodate them, leading to impaction and infection. Well keep a close eye on this area as patients grow older, and if all signs point towards future complications, we may recommend extraction as a preventive measure. You can rest assured that our team will handle the procedure as smoothly as possible, and comforting options like sedation dentistry are available if needed.
Dentures have been around for many years, and today, there are still patients who enjoy the convenience, reliability, and affordability they provide. Here in Calais, Dr. Delaney offers both full and partial models depending on the patients needs. Traditional dentures are removable, which means its easy to clean and store them at night. Alternatively, our practice offers implant-retained dentures for a more permanent fit.

I am very impressed with Dr. Karen Delaney. We drive 2 hours (each way) to get to her office, and it is definately worth the travel time. She is kind, funny and very knowledgeable. She takes the time to explain what needs to be done and how she will do it. Going to the dentist isn't one of my favorite things to do, but Dr. Delaney made it easy and informative. Her staff is also fantastic! (Sorry I dont remember their names)

This office does not communicate with their patients and has complete disregard for their situation. They made a man wait for 2 hours at an appointment today where he was supposed to pick up his bridge and when he finally was called they told him the doctor who had originally fit him for the bridge did not work their anymore and nothing had been done. This patient is on hospice and barely made it up to the clinic. It was shameful and disrespectfully what they did and how he was treated. He asked for his money back that was given to them at the previous appointment of 70% of the bill. When they were called about the situation ar hand the supervisor stated that none of it happened and he was never fit for a bridge. However, 70% of the total was given to them at the last appointment for the bridge. Now they say he got a refund but when asked where it was, the supervisor stated that it will be 14 days or longer. If you want better care and not the run around, Do NOT go to this establishment for care. They say they are cheaper but you get what you pay for and that includes cheap service. Don't get fooled by the smoke and mirrors. There are so many other places I town to choose from.

This is the worst Dental Appointment of all time! Very noisy atmosphere and you can hear other appointments beside you. Felt like a production line. I waited for over one hour in the dentist seat and was not seen by the Dentist. Terrible place.

Very poor past experiences. Entitled and rude front staff and management/ownership. They give out late/non-existent appointment reminders, yet have a very strict cancellation policy. The dental hygienists were very kind and gentle but deserve better. Have heard very similar experiences from many community members.

Dr Delaney and her staff are conscientious, kind and professional. To receive such top-notch service in remote areas of Maine is unprecedented. No detail in her facility has gone unnoticed. The most recent technology and techniques are available to those that otherwise would have to travel 1+ hours. Thank you for coming to our town!!!

I personally have yet to have any Dental work done by Karen Delaney... First I must say The Building is Gorgeous, Inside and Out!! State of The Art along with The Amazing Technology, Outstanding!! No Traveling, Along with All of Your Dental needs done here in One Place, of course You Pay for What You Get and thus far the results I have seen have been Outstanding! However in My Opinion, Yes it is a bit Costly and I do agree that more Treatment is pushed almost immediately and unfortunately not only did I witness it but have also heard this from a handful of people... I must say Sharon, The Dental Hygienist was Absolutely Wonderful to jump to calm one and explain for one to not worry and it would all be taken care of in time, Thank You!! One Should Not Leave Worried as this Individual was and still is... I do wish the Very Best for This Buisness and All whom are Employed there!!
