Get to Know Us
Welcome to Integrity Dental – Where You Come First!
​
Thank you for visiting us online! We’re glad you’re here!
When we opened the doors to Integrity Dental in January 2021, we did so with one clear purpose in mind - you, our patients.
​
Dentistry Has Changed – But Not Always for the Better
​​
Let’s be honest - dentistry has evolved a lot over the years. Some of these changes have been great, but others? Maybe not so much.
​
Growing up, I assumed all dental offices were the same. I was lucky to have a childhood dentist who ran a small, personal practice with just three or four treatment rooms and a close-knit team.
​
In that office, I never felt like just a number. I never felt rushed. I never felt overlooked. Instead, I felt at home. I felt seen, heard, and truly cared for.​
​
My Eye-Opening Journey Into Dentistry
​​
When I started dental school, I didn’t come from a family of dentists and didn’t fully know what to expect. I assumed most offices operated like the one I had grown up in, where patient care came first.
​
But I quickly learned that the dental world was changing.
Small, single-doctor offices were being replaced by large, corporate-style practices that prioritized profits over patients.
Many experienced dentists warned us that the “golden age” of dentistry was ending.
​
That never sat right with me. I refused to believe that truly patient-centered care was a thing of the past.​
​
A Different Kind of Dental Practice
​​
I was determined to do things differently. I wanted to give my patients the same exceptional experience I had growing up, even if that meant going against the industry’s new status quo.
​
That vision - along with a big leap of faith - is what led to the creation of Integrity Dental.
​
At Integrity Dental, we embrace being different.
​
✅ We believe in providing gentle, compassionate, and comfortable care
✅ We focus on quality dentistry built on real relationships
✅ We go above and beyond to make every patient feel valued
​
Most importantly, we really care!
At Integrity Dental, you’re never just a number. You’re a person, and we genuinely enjoy getting to know you and your family while helping you achieve your dental goals.​
​
Experience the Difference for Yourself
​
Of course, none of this truly matters until you experience it firsthand.
​
If you're looking for a change in your dental care, we’d love to show you what an exceptional dental experience can be like.

Jonathan Nutt, D.M.D.​
Founder + General Dentist
Meet Dr. Jonathan Nutt ("Dr. J") – Founder of Integrity Dental
Dr. Jonathan Nutt, or "Dr. J" as his patients call him, is a board-certified general dentist and the proud founder of Integrity Dental.
​
Early Life & Education
Dr. J grew up in New Hampshire, where he earned his B.S. in Biology from Rivier University. He then moved to Maine to pursue his dental degree, and in 2018, he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from the University of New England College of Dental Medicine in Portland.
​
A Patient-Centered Approach
Dr. J is deeply passionate about connecting with his patients on a personal level. He takes the time to get to know each patient and listen to and understand their unique needs and goals. He enjoys working with each patient to develop customized dental care plans that meet their needs, goals and financial comfort level.
​
Whether it's catching up during checkups, being extra gentle with numbing, or taking the necessary time to perfect a restoration, Dr. J is dedicated to offering each patient the best possible experience. His commitment to a team-based approach to care empowers patients, ensuring they feel educated and involved in their own dental health decisions.
​
Lifelong Learning & Professional Growth
Dr. J is passionate about staying on the cutting edge of dentistry. While 40 hours of continuing education are required every two years for Maine dentists to maintain licensure, Dr. J goes above and beyond, often completing double that amount to continue challenging himself and refining his skills.
​
He’s an active member of the Breakwater Study Club (an offshoot of the Seattle Study Club) and regularly attends in-person continuing education courses across New England and nationwide.
​
Currently, Dr. J is focusing on his studies at the L.D. Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida. This prestigious institution specializes in advanced dental education, particularly occlusion - the relationship between our Temporomandibular Joints (TMJs), facial muscles, and teeth. He believes that understanding occlusion is one of the most fundamental parts of successful dental care and maintaining good oral health for life.
He often describes to patients how a dentist understanding their occlusion is very similar to how a car mechanic needs to understand all that goes on under the hood of a car. Without understanding how all of the important parts of a system work together to help everything run smoothly, something could ultimately go wrong and ultimately cause major problems requiring major repair and expense.
Like a car, our oral health system includes many working parts - our teeth, bite/occlusion, facial muscles, temporomandibular joints (TMJs) and more. To truly understand each patient's situation and provide them the best level of care, we need to pay close attention to all of these parts - not just a select few.
​
Professional Involvement
Dr. J is proud to be a member of several dental organizations, including:
​
-
American Dental Association (ADA)
-
Maine Dental Association (MDA)
-
Greater Portland Dental Society (GPDS)
-
Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce
​
He’s also actively involved in his community and is passionate about supporting local initiatives, including:
-
As an annual sponsor of the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce
-
As a sponsor of the Yarmouth Community Action Network (YCAN)
-
As a sponsor of Yarmouth Community Services (YCS)
-
As an annual team sponsor of the Yarmouth Little League
​
Dr. J and our entire team take great pride in supporting our local town, schools and community services, contributing to the growth and well-being of our community. As a local business, we’re invested in the success of our community and are proud to play a role in helping these and other important programs thrive.
​
Life Outside the Office
When he’s not in the office, Dr. J is often still working! After all, there's a lot to do behind the scenes that keeps a dental office running smoothly that patients don't often see.
He enjoys staying healthy and active, loves trying new, healthy recipes, and enjoys meal-prepping for the busy week ahead.
​
He loves exploring Maine’s ever-changing food scene, and is always on the lookout for new culinary adventures and inspiration.
He enjoys running, especially around Back Cove Trail in Portland. He also enjoys riding his bike.
​
Most importantly, he enjoys spending as much time as possible with family.
Jonathan Prak​
Patient Care Coordinator
Where do we begin?! We are SO incredibly lucky to have Jonathan as part of our team! Our office just wouldn't be the same without him!
Jonathan is the caring, friendly voice that greets you on the phone, and the even friendlier smile that welcomes you when you visit our office! He absolutely loves getting to know and help each and every one of our patients!
A lifelong Mainer, Jonathan grew up in "Sunny Saco" where he attended Thornton Academy. He learned piano starting at a very young age, later moving on to study classical piano with the world-renowned pianist, Laura Kargul, at the University of Southern Maine Osher School of Music in Gorham, where he received his B.A. in Piano Performance. He is currently enrolled in U.S.M.'s graduate program for piano performance, working towards achieving his Master's in Piano Performance. He has been the recipient of many scholarships and awards, and is proud to say he has a direct lineage to Beethoven!
Jonathan spends much of his time practicing piano when not at the office - often 6 hours or more at a time!
​
He has a knack for learning languages and is practically fluent in French. He's currently working on trying to master the French Canadian dialect and loves traveling to Montréal. He loves when he meets a patient he can speak French with! He also enjoys calligraphy, reading, and cooking. A former barista, he's extremely passionate about good coffee. He enjoys brewing up delicious beverages and making beautiful latté art with his own home espresso bar!
He's currently working on trying to convince Dr. J to have an espresso machine at the office so he can spoil our patients even more by sending them home with a café-quality beverage!
