Northern Maine Oral & Facial Surgery Center, PA: Advanced Surgical and Aesthetic Care in Aroostook County
Serving the communities of northern Maine and western New Brunswick, the Northern Maine Oral & Facial Surgery Center (NMOFS) operates as a premier regional pavilion for full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery, advanced facial plastics, and medical aesthetics.
Rather than functioning as a standard general dental clinic, this state-of-the-art facility operates as a fully licensed Medicare, Medicaid, and AAAHC-certified Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC). Owned and directed by Dr. Henry “Hank” C. Ford, DMD, the practice emphasizes high-level safety, specialized anesthesia-supported procedures, and an integrated approach to facial structural health and dermal revisions.
Specialized Surgical Disciplines & Medical Spa Pillars
The Presque Isle surgical suites are equipped with medical-grade technologies engineered to address complex bone structures, deep tissue pathologies, and advanced skincare goals:
- Full-Scope Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: Personally performed by Dr. Ford—a board-certified surgeon with over 20 years of local private practice experience. Treatments include specialized wisdom teeth extractions under IV sedation, bone grafting, corrective jaw surgeries, and immediate-load full-arch restorations using advanced TeethXpress® dental implant systems.
- Anesthesia-Supported Pediatric & Special Needs Care: As a certified ASC, the center serves as a vital regional resource, providing a safe, controlled environment for complex surgical procedures on pediatric, medically fragile, or developmentally disabled patients who require deep anesthesia.
- Aesthetic & Facial Cosmetic Consultations: Offering structural evaluations for facial trauma repair, scar revisions, and aesthetic facial balancing.
- Physician-Supervised Medical Spa Services: Operating under strict medical protocols, the center utilizes advanced aesthetic modalities to manage volume loss, fine lines, and skin texturing. This includes precise injections of premium neuromodulators (Botox® Cosmetic) and dermal fillers (Juvéderm®), alongside laser hair reduction, skin pigmentation corrections, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photorejuvenation.
Academy Street & Northern Maine Transit Logistics
Located at 181 Academy Street, Suite 1, the surgery center sits comfortably within Presque Isle’s primary professional and educational corridor:
- The Academy Street Professional Node: Positioned just down the street from the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) and minutes from local community healthcare hubs. This central placement allows patients and coordinating families from across the county to easily navigate their pre-operative or follow-up visits.
- Private Ground-Floor Accessibility: Located directly inside Suite 1, the facility features private, ground-floor storefront parking and entry. This specific layout provides total discretion for cosmetic clients and ensures smooth, stress-free transfers for post-operative surgical patients who need to avoid busy shared elevator banks or multi-story public parking garages.
- Regional Aroostook County Connectivity: Situated right off US-1, the center offers a highly direct, straightforward commute. It cuts out the transit friction common to more distant urban medical facilities, providing an essential travel corridor for local residents in Presque Isle and Caribou, as well as patients driving from Houlton, Fort Kent, Madawaska, and neighboring Canadian border towns.
