Gentle care in Bar Harbor, Maine
Gentle dentistry for people who'd rather be anywhere else.
Most of us feel a few nerves about the dentist. Dr. Laura Whitcomb and her team take that seriously, with unhurried visits, plain explanations, and modern tools that make care calmer and quicker.
Now welcoming new patients of every age.
You're in good company
If the dentist makes you anxious, you've found the right office.
Some studies put the share of people with real dental anxiety at 70 to 80 percent. If that's you, there's nothing to explain or apologize for here. We move at your pace, tell you what's happening before it happens, and stop whenever you need a breath.
- A calm, judgment-free welcome
- Clear explanations before anything begins
- Numbing done patiently, with breaks when you want them
- Modern tools that shorten your time in the chair
Our motto: grow each day so we can better serve our patients. We're humans first, and dentists second.

- Night guards and retainers made in-house
From our patients
Kind words from the chair
“Dr. Whitcomb is gentle and kind. She fully understands my fear of needles and works with me when I act childish! Everyone in the office is friendly, yet very professional. The office is immaculate and has state of the art equipment.”
Valerie B., verified patient review
“I did aligners to straighten my front teeth. It only took 5 months and turned out amazing. She is extremely attentive and truly cares about your wants and needs. Her staff is wonderfully pleasant. I would give 100 stars if I could!”
