Our Story

Our Fryeburg dental office is housed in a historic building on Portland Street. We restored the space to its former glory and created a beautiful practice outfitted with a variety of dental technologies, including digital x-rays, cone beam computed tomography, a soft tissue laser and more. Comfort and convenience are truly the hallmarks of Fryeburg Dental Center and our office was designed with you and your family in mind.

Late 1700s

Fryeburg Dental Center is located on Portland Street in a building that was built about 100 years ago. At our practice, we see many multi-generational families, some of whom have been in the area since the late 1700s, so it’s not uncommon for us to hear the wonderful memories they have of the building.

1967

Over the last century, our building has been a post office, a shooting range, an American Legion post, a dance hall, medical offices, a yoga studio, a dental office, and more. 45 years ago, Dr. William Dreyer put the original dental office in the basement. Patients would go around the back of the building and down the stairs to see him.

2019

Dr. Harper purchased the practice after serving as a dentist in the army for seven years and being deployed twice. He continued caring for patients of all ages in Dr. Dreyer’s former basement office. However, following a fire, two floods and an oil spill, we renovated and moved upstairs in July 2019.

Now

Now in our beautiful, new office, Dr. Harper and Dr. Pickerell along with our team fulfill our goal of offering expert dentistry with a hometown feel. We also strive to honor the history of the building and our community. One way we do that is by giving back wherever we can, including by supporting our beloved MSAD #72, Fryeburg Recreation Department and Fryeburg Academy.
