Northwoods Dental LLC

I want to warn everyone out there to think twice before going to Nortwoods Dental in Skowhegan. During my First visit there, it was determined by Dr. Joseph Penna that I need to have three fillings replaced. I was the first patient of the day when he did the work, and he was in a hurry. After a month, I continued to have constant pain in one of the teeth he had filled. When I called the Skowhegan office, I was told to take Tylenol, and that I could not be seen due to COVID19. I explained that I thought I could have a missing filling, but still, Tylenol was suggested. Did they tell me then that if I had not been seen soon due to a possible lost filling, that I would lose my tooth or I could have turned ill due to bacteria buildup??? No. They only ever suggested Tylenol and never informed me of the consequences if I did not immediately find a dentist willing to help me. So I suffered a great deal for another month until I could not handle it. I eventually saw an emergency dentist who sent me to a specialist despite COVID19. Since then, that tooth has had a root canal, and will now need a permanent filling and a crown. We are talking $3000 now for that one tooth. The emergency dentist has explained that, although a filling thankfully did not fall out, bacteria was likely left behind during Dr. Penna’s job, ultimately leading to this disaster. I have also since realized that the other two filled teeth, which sit side by side, are filled so tight that I cannot completely floss between. I have pictures of Dr. Penna’s botched job and, I can share proof if anyone cares to see. These two teeth now also hurt with pressure when I bite. I pray to god that I don’t need another root canal for either of them. This is my experience, although I am sure Dr. Penna is filled with excuses. To each his own.

Dr. Demi is a no nonsense Dentist... she doesn't sugarcoat things, and gets right to the point... very knowledgeable and skilled.. of all the dentist I've seen in my 55 years, she is by far the BEST!!!

They are Excellent!!! Great Customer Service. Make you feel really comfortable and make sure no pain. I am petrified of going to the dentist but the folks at this office make you feel comfortable and welcome from the moment you walk in and speak with Tammy (The receptionist)

Great office, they make you feel really comfortable, but their prices are outrageous. Anyone with Dental insurance typically receives $1000. annually in benefits and over 1/2 of that was used for ONE appointment. Just for the Dr. to talk to you to tell you what they want to do, they charge $75.00.... really ????? Wish I could afford to stay with them :(

Great friendly fast service.... I just called everybody in wtvl and Augusta nobody would help.. But they did so glad I called... Would recommend to anyone...
