Our Doctors
James M. Sevey, DMD
Dr. Sevey has 30 years of experience in the dental profession. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Dental Medicine in 1982, he continued his education there in the Division of Advanced Dental Education and completed a post graduate curriculum in General Dentistry in 1983. He then fulfilled a scholarship obligation with the National Health Service Corps by practicing for five years in a community based medical and dental center in an underserved area of western Pennsylvania. He relocated back to Maine in late 1988 and practiced in a partnership at Broadway Dental Associates in Bangor until the opening of Creative Dental Solutions in 2007.
The Maine State Board of Dental Examiners requires that dentists have a minimum of 20 hours of verifiable dental continuing education per year to maintain licensure. Dr. Sevey consistently exceeds these requirements. Most years he attends over 100 hours of dental continuing education, and in the last two years has completed over 250 hours of continuing education. Dentistry is constantly evolving and Dr. Sevey's commitment to continuing education keeps him current with the latest advances in order to benefit his patients.
