Since 1976, Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry has been a full-service practice caring for children of all ages. We believe that each of us can have a lifetime of healthy oral hygieneif we start with proper dental habits as children.
We take the time to educate each of our patients on the benefits of proper brushing and flossing techniques. Investing in a solid foundation can help your children avoid costly interventions in the future.
Above all, we are friendly and compassionate professionals. We are specially trained and devoted to helping young children feel good about seeing the dentist and taking care of their teeth. We strive to provide the highest level of dental care through a combination of love, gentleness, efficiency, prevention and mutual respect among child, parent and professional.
After growing up in South Portland, Dr. John graduated from Gordon College in Massachusetts, received a Masters in Education from the University of Akron, and began his career in teaching and coaching basketball and soccer. This was the foundation of his exceptional ability to relate to children when he followed in the footsteps of his father, also called Dr. John Willis, who founded Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry in 1976.
After four years in dental school at SUNY Buffalo, Dr. John (the son) completed a two-year residency in the specialty of Pediatric Dentistry at St. Christophers Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. In 2017, he returned to Maine, and joined his current practice. Dr. John is excited to now be the majority owner of the practice, and is focused on helping children by providing the highest quality dental care.
Now living in Portland, Dr. John coaches a boys varsity high school basketball team; plays golf and loves lake and ocean boating; roots for Boston sport teams and the Tottenham Hotspurs soccer team in the English Premier League; and enjoys spending time with his large family, including seven nieces and nephews.
