Our Team

Dr. Atwell was born and raised on Long Island, New York, and relocated to Maine in 2015 after completing his dental training at University at Buffalo’s School of Dental Medicine. He completed his general practice residency at Penobscot Community Dental Center and accepted an associate dentist position at Creative Dental Solutions working under Dr. James Sevey. In 2017, Dr. Atwell went on to establish Bucksport Dentistry, a small dental practice within an independent dental hygiene office in Bucksport, Maine.

Dentistry is Dr. Atwell’s passion and he has focused his continuing education on cosmetic and prosthetic restorative dentistry. He is a Dawson Academy Scholar, having completed their core courses which focus on occlusion, or how the teeth function together. He is continually expanding his knowledge base and seeking to create a comfortable atmosphere for his patients. He has completed a Surgical Fellowship with the Resnik Implant Institute, which involved more than 100 hours of study. Most recently, he has achieved Fellowship status with the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD). To achieve this status a clinician must log 500 hours of approved continuing education, pass a written exam and maintain good standing with the Academy of General Dentistry for at least 5 years. He is currently a member of the New England Masters Dental Study Club, whose focus is on achieving Mastership with the Academy of General Dentistry. He is also an active member of the Acadia Seattle Study Club held in Bangor.

In his spare time, Dr. Atwell enjoys running, swimming, photography, travel, music, and spending time outdoors.
