Jeffrey A. Brackett D.M.D., LLC

Along the commercial stretch of Route 1 in southern Maine, periodontal specialists fill a distinct niche between general dentistry and oral surgery. Many practices in the area handle routine cleanings or cosmetic work, but fewer focus exclusively on dental implants and the treatment of gum disease. This is where a periodontist’s expertise becomes essential—particularly for patients dealing with complex cases like bone loss or advanced periodontitis.

Just north of the Scarborough marshes, Jeffrey A. Brackett D.M.D., LLC operates out of a suite at 243 US-1 #1. The location places it within easy reach of both Portland commuters and residents of the town’s denser residential pockets near Dunstan Corner. Unlike broader dental offices, the practice zeroes in on procedures like implant placement, gum grafts, and periodontal maintenance—services that often require referrals from general dentists.

Booking a consultation here follows the usual process: a call to (207) 883-1248 sets up an initial evaluation, where the focus stays on long-term oral health rather than quick fixes. Periodontal work tends to involve multiple visits, so proximity to major routes helps for those traveling from neighboring towns like South Portland or Saco. The practice’s positioning near the highway also means it’s a practical stop for patients combining appointments with errands in the area’s retail zones.

Scarborough’s Route 1 corridor has long been a mix of medical offices, chain stores, and local businesses catering to both residents and passing traffic. For precise directions, the map pinpoints the suite’s entrance, tucked between a pharmacy and a cluster of professional services. The setting reflects the town’s blend of suburban convenience and clinical practicality.
