Corey + Then Periodontics

Corey + Then Periodontics is a specialized dental practice located in South Portland, Maine, dedicated to the fields of periodontics and dental implants. The clinic is run by a team of board-certified periodontists, including Dr. John B. Corey and Dr. Peter R. Then. A periodontist is a dentist who has completed three additional years of specialized training beyond dental school to focus on the soft tissues of the mouth (gums) and the underlying jawbone that supports the teeth. The practice offers a wide range of services to prevent, diagnose, and treat periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, which is a chronic inflammatory condition that can lead to tooth loss. Their expertise includes both non-surgical and surgical treatments. They are also highly skilled in the placement of dental implants, providing a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. This expertise in both hard and soft tissue management is crucial for the success of implant procedures. Corey + Then Periodontics places a strong emphasis on patient education, ensuring patients are well-informed about their conditions and treatment options. The clinic often works in collaboration with referring dentists to provide comprehensive and coordinated care. They strive to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for patients, many of whom are referred for more complex periodontal cases that require advanced knowledge and surgical skills. The practice's dedication to continuing education, with Dr. Then being a founder of the Casco Bay Study Club, highlights their commitment to staying at the forefront of their specialty.
