I cant imagine a more fulfilling profession than dentistry. Ive been practicing here in Scarborough for almost 30 years and am honored by the friendships Ive made. My team and I are now caring for the smiles of the children and the grandchildren of some of my first patients. I take my responsibilitiesas a dentist seriously. Theres a strong connection between oral and overall health. By helping people take control of their dental health, and encouraging them to take better care of their bodies, I help them improve their lives. Im particularly drawn to working with people who have dental anxiety. By carefully listening to a patients answers, and paying attention to their body language, I can make their visit apositive experience. I want each patient to know that I practice gentle dentistry: I want everyoneto feel comfortable here and to look forward to coming to see us.
My Doctorate of Dental Medicine was awarded by Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 1987. Im an ardent believer in lifelong learning and have completed many courses through the prestigious Spear Center for Dental Education. Staying current on advances in technology, techniques, and dental materials ensures my patients receive the best of modern dentistry. Im a member of the Greater Portland Spear Study Club, past president of the Greater Portland Dental Society, and active with the Maine Dental Association and the American Dental Association. Through these organizations, I learn from the leaders in oral healthcare. I also learn in a collaborative environment with numerous dental specialists.
My wife Nancy and I are originally from Massachusetts. We moved to Maine in the fall of 1989 and to Scarborough in 1992. We currently live in the Higgins Beach area, which our two adult sons, Neil and Aaron, also call home. Nancy and I have a golden retriever, Grady. I enjoy taking him for walks on the beach and trails. I love all thats available in Maine. I enjoy skiing in the winter, freshwater fishing in the spring and fall, and golfing with friends and family as soon as the courses open until the first snow flies. Im not one to sit still: I also enjoy working in the yard, gardening projects, and detailing my cars. I also like taking in Scarborough High School sports games. Nancy and I have supported many of the booster clubs for both school and travel teams for many years.
It is an honor to be involved in supporting and participating with so many worthy causes and groups in our community. Ive sponsored the Summer Concerts in the Park, the Trivia Bee Team which was a fund drive for fuel assistance for Project Grace, and helped with a capital campaign for Camp Ketcha and the Scarborough Land Trust. Ive also participated in the Dentists Who Care for Maine Day, which providesfree or highly discounted dental care to those in need. Nancy was an initial board member for the Scarborough Education Foundation and is involved in other groups and community concerns, too.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.

Dr. Ravin and his team are professional, efficient and wonderful. They have excellent COVID-19 protocols and aim to get you in and out fast. Dr. Ravin has a clear and proactive approach to treating tooth decay and never hesitates to take the time to answer any questions you have with your treatment. Darlene in the front office courageously handled my insurance company. Highly recommended.
