The practice will close its Rumford and Monson locations Nov. 23.

Community Dental has attempted to recruit staff, but has been unsuccessful in hiring qualified hygienists and dentists in the two rural locations, WGME reported. Its Rumford clinic has not had a dentist since November and its Monson clinic hasn’t been able to fill its hygienist opening.

Community Dental will continue to provide care at its Portland, Biddeford, Lewiston and Farmington locations.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
