Dr. Cyr

Mason Cyr

DMD

Dr. Mason Cyr is a Maine native, born and raised in Freeport, Maine. He attended University of New England and received a bachelors degree in Applied Exercise Science. His focus shifted from sports medicine to dentistry when he had a sport related injury and disliked his recovery process wherein he found his passion for dentistry. Becoming a Dentist from that point meant more than making beautiful smiles, dentistry means involvement in the community and providing additional services to those in need.

Dr. Cyr graduated from University of New England’s College of Dental Medicine class of 2021. He proceeded to further his education and expertise by attending a general practice residency at the University of Michigan. His experience in Ann Arbor MI, gave him the opportunity work with a variety of patients and build his treatment experience unlike anywhere else.

 

During his time at University of Michigan he was able to work with medically compromised and special needs populations. Aside from working in the clinic and rounding on inpatients, he rotated through general anesthesia, oral surgery and even emergency medicine. Dr. Cyr performed extensive treatment in the operating room and would manage post op cancer patients, fabricating orthotics known as obturators. During his time at Michigan he stated he learned saw a variety of cases while on call, treating extensive trauma or infections which would require treatment options that would not be performed in the private practice setting.

Dr. Cyr is avid about providing pain free dentistry, creating dream smiles, and restoring proper function to those with traumatic occlusion. It is his goal to make going to the dentist a pleasant experience and providing patients with time to relax instead of the traditional discomfort.

On Dr. Cyr’s days off he enjoys hiking, restaurants and all activities outdoors. Although he is a local Mainer, he is ready to learn more about the state he has grown to love.
