To us, taking care of a patient refers to how they are treated both in and out of the dental chair. When you walk into our office, youll be greeted with a smile, Dr. Delaney will take the time to thoroughly explain all of your needs, and when its time for a treatment, youll only receive the very best. Our dentistry is designed to look great, feel even better, and last for many years to come. From check-in to checkout, well make you so glad that you came to see us.
A native of Denton, TX, Dr. Delaney first came to the East Millinocket area in June 2014 to support her cousin who was competing in the AT hike, and she immediately fell in love with the area. When she came home, she told her husband they were moving to Maine. She saw the opportunity to practice in a town where she could become an integral part of the community and participate in local events. In short, she wanted to be the dentist rather than just a dentist, making it easier to form close and trusting relationships with her patients. Of course, all great relationships start with an introduction, and you can start getting to know Dr. Delaney a little more by reading on below!
Dr. Delaney has always been the type of person who likes to help people, and dentistry is a unique field where a doctor can improve a persons health and appearance at the same time, dramatically enhancing their quality of life in the process. The combination of art and science also drew Dr. Delaney to the field, and she enjoys how dentistry is always changing and evolving, enabling her to take even better care of her patients. Today, her main goal is to consistently provide her patients with a happy and fun environment where her team can deliver the very best dental care!
Dr. Delaney attended the University of Texas at Austin where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and she went on to achieve a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene at the Baylor College of Dentistry. She chose to stay at the school and later achieved her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. She then practiced family dentistry in Southlake, TX before relocating to Maine, where she saw that she could provide quality dental care to an underserved community.
Dr. Delany is married to Dr. Lloyd Delany, and together they have two beautiful daughters and one handsome son. During her spare time, she enjoys traveling, sewing, and reading up on her latest obsession: moose!
TMJ disorder (also known as TMD) is a common and oftentimes debilitating health problem that specifically affects the joints that allow you to chew and speak. If you are experiencing chronic jaw and facial pain, Dr. Delaney recommends a dedicated TMJ evaluation to determine if there is dysfunction present in the form of a misaligned bite, injury, or other source. Effective therapy techniques are available to restore harmony to your smile and overall wellbeing, including custom-made oral appliances/splints.
Many patients wouldnt think to turn to a dentist for help with sleep apnea treatment, but who knows your mouth and airway better than a professional like Dr. Delaney? If mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is robbing you of quality rest, its important to seek out assistance as soon as possible so that you can maintain the quality of life you deserve. Our practice offers several types of custom-made oral appliances that can comfortably reposition your mouth and help you breathe easier throughout the night, including the Silent Nite brand. This type of focused treatment can also help patients and families cut down on disruptive snoring!
Intraoral cameras are an invaluable educational tool for teaching patients more about their particular smiles, any potential damage we discover during exams, and available treatment options. Our team will navigate the camera-tipped wand throughout your mouth, capturing high-resolution images that can be instantly transferred to a monitor in the operatory for easy viewing. We enjoy helping you feel like a fully informed partner in your oral healthcare journey!
Digital technology offers a world of valuable benefits and advantages when compared to the limitations of traditional film, and were proud to now offer this modern approach directly to our patients. Instead of having to wait for hours on darkroom development and handle hazardous chemicals, high-resolution X-ray images are immediately available for viewing after capture. Better yet, the entire diagnostic process is much safer, as any radiation exposure is reduced by up to 90%.
While digital X-rays are an essential part of routine dental care, their scope can be somewhat limited when planning advanced treatments like surgical dental implant placement and root canal therapy. In these delicate situations, we want to ensure that our approach is as precise, as confident, and as poised for success as possible thats why Dr. Delaney uses state-of-the-art 3D Cone Beam Imaging. This technology creates exhaustively detailed, three-dimensional X-rays of the patients teeth and related facial structures that leave nothing to the imagination.
