Our Team

Each staff member in our practice has completed extensive training. We are just as enthusiastic about learning as we are about providing top-level personal attention to patients of all ages. When you visit us, you will be made to feel right at home by a friendly team who consider it an honor to partner with you for optimal oral health.

Complete dental care for every smile

We believe in practicing dentistry in a way that not only promotes healthy teeth and gums, but overall health. By using the appropriate materials and techniques, we assist patients in the care of their mouths so they are less likely to experience the negative effects of oral disease.

At the Maine Center for Dental Medicine, Dr. Mohammed Imam and his team encourage patients in the Skowhegan, Maine area to learn about the benefits of laser dentistry for their dental health and wellness. Lasers have been used for many years in medicine and continue to be at the forefront of dental technology.

Damage to teeth cannot always be repaired with a standard filling. In such instances, we may recommend the placement of a lifelike inlay, onlay, or dental crown. 

We believe in practicing dentistry in a way that not only promotes healthy teeth and gums, but overall health. By using the appropriate materials and techniques, we assist patients in the care of their mouths so they are less likely to experience the negative effects of oral disease.

Dentistry incorporates a variety of procedures and services to help you enjoy your natural teeth as long as possible, support oral health, and enable you to feel good about your appearance throughout your lifetime.

 

General dental services focus on prevention based on your unique needs. We may request that you visit more or less often than another patient, but this is done to optimize your oral health. Most people see us two to three times a year for an examination and cleaning. This timing allows us to detect problems before they can cause extensive damage. Routine care also keeps your smile looking nice.

What our patients are saying

Frequently Asked Questions

Create trendy looking dark boxes with a title background. 

What is biological or holistic dentistry?

Biological dentistry recognizes that your oral health is inextricably linked to your overall systemic wellness. At the Maine Center for Dental Medicine, we don’t just treat teeth; we look at the whole body. We choose biocompatible, safe materials, emphasize minimally invasive techniques, and aim to protect your long-term wellness by avoiding materials and procedures that could cause systemic stress.

Are holistic dental procedures safe for the entire family?

Absolutely! We welcome patients of all ages, from young children to adults. Our integrative approach adapts to each individual family member’s unique healthcare goals, ensuring everyone receives safe, toxin-aware, and gentle preventative or restorative care.

What does it mean that you offer "Mercury Revisions"?

Traditional silver fillings contain roughly 50% elemental mercury, a known neurotoxin. Our practice is SMART-certified (Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique). When doing a "mercury revision," we utilize strict safety protocols—including special barriers, high-volume air filtration, and specialized vacuums—to safely isolate and remove old amalgam fillings without exposing you, or our team, to dangerous mercury vapor.

What is Myofunctional Therapy?

Myofunctional therapy is like physical therapy for the muscles of your mouth, tongue, and face. It helps correct improper swallowing, tongue placement, and mouth-breathing habits. By retraining these muscles, we can improve airway health, help resolve sleep apnea issues, and support proper facial growth in pediatric patients.

Can you help treat Sleep Apnea?

Yes. Sleep apnea and airway obstructions are heavily linked to dental health. Instead of jumping straight to a cumbersome CPAP machine, Dr. Imam Mohammed and our team can evaluate your airway and design custom-fit oral appliances or introduce myofunctional therapy to help naturally open your airway for a safer, deeper night's sleep.

How do you use lasers and ozone in dentistry?

We utilize advanced laser dentistry and medical-grade ozone therapy to provide comfortable, minimally invasive, and highly effective care. Lasers allow us to treat conditions with greater precision, minimal bleeding, and faster healing times. Ozone therapy is a natural, powerful antimicrobial agent used to sterilize areas of decay, treat gum disease, and support your mouth's natural healing processes without aggressive chemicals.
