Ronald P. Cody DMD

Ronald P. Cody DMD is a dental clinic located in Portland, Maine, specializing in a variety of dental services to ensure comprehensive patient care. Dr. Ronald Cody, the lead practitioner, is a distinguished graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. He has a strong background in prosthodontics, periodontics, and a deep understanding of occlusion, which is the study of how teeth meet together and how force is applied to the masticatory system. This expertise allows him to manage complex bite concerns, including issues related to TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) problems. The clinic's services are extensive and cover several key areas of dentistry. Restorative care includes fillings, onlays, and crowns. Prosthetic care offers removable and fixed bridgework, as well as implant-supported replacements. For patients interested in enhancing their smile, the clinic provides cosmetic services such as bleaching, tooth veneering, and aesthetic fillings. A unique focus of the practice is "corrective bite therapy," where Dr. Cody works to restore a harmonious and comfortable bite, addressing issues like headaches, pain, tooth wear, and enamel cracking. The clinic also provides preventative care through regular cleanings (prophylaxis) and offers periodontic care for conditions like gingivitis. Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Cody is a respected member of the dental community. He has lectured to various dentist groups on topics like dental implants and occlusion, and has published several professional articles. His commitment to dental health extends globally through his involvement with "Operation Smile," a non-profit organization that provides free cleft lip and palate surgeries for children in developing countries. Dr. Cody, along with his son, Dr. Ryan Cody, a board-certified craniofacial orthodontist, volunteers their time to treat children with these conditions around the world.
