After growing up in South Portland, Dr. John graduated from Gordon College in Massachusetts, received a Master's in Education from the University of Akron, and began his career in teaching and coaching basketball and soccer. This was the foundation of his exceptional ability to relate to children when he followed in the footsteps of his father, also called Dr. John Willis, who founded Falmouth Pediatric Dentistry in 1976.
After four years in dental school at SUNY Buffalo, Dr. John (the son) completed a two-year residency in the specialty of Pediatric Dentistry at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. In 2017, he returned to Maine, and joined his current practice. Dr. John is excited to now be the majority owner of the practice, and is focused on "helping children by providing the highest quality dental care."

Your First Visit
Report
We support the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's recommendation to schedule a child's first dental visit by his or her first birthday. Our doctors and staff focus on making the first visit as positive and comfortable as possible, in order to build trust and put the child at ease for future visits.
Routine Care
Report
On each subsequent visit, we take the time to make your clild's visit enjoyable and to answer all his or her questions. Why is it so important to keep primary teeth healthy, if the child will one day lose them and get their permanent adult teeth? Healthy baby teeth preserve space for permanent teeth to erupt, helping limit the need for braces in the future.
Dental Restorations
Report
The American Dental Association states that sedation dentistry is a safe and effective way to help children relax-especially those with dental anxiety or having a hard time sitting still-so they can receive dental restorations. However, before using any type of sedative or anesthetic medication, we always review your child's health history and current medications.
Orthodontics
Report
At FPD, we recognize the power of orthodontics to transform children's self-image and boost their confidence, while helping avoid future problems from misaligned teeth. We also recognize that kids may come in with negative expectations about the orthodontic process, so we strive to make it as painless as possible.
