Every business has a story.

For Anna Cockrell, returning to Maine was a homecoming. As a former patient of Dr. Randolph Howell’s, Anna fondly remembers visiting Dr. Howell’s office throughout her youth. When she learned that Dr. Howell was considering retirement, she knew that his philosophy and style of care would be a perfect match for her husband, Dr. Chadd Cockrell. Dr. Howell and Dr. Cockrell met and agreed, and in 2017 the Cockrells moved back to Maine from Oregon to take the reins from Dr. Howell. Since Dr. Howell’s retirement, the Cockrells have been dedicated to preserving the familiarity and competency the practice is known for while fostering exceptional community-oriented care.

If you’ve been visiting the practice for years, as Anna did, you will recognize the familiar faces of the team at Casco Bay Dental. Some team members have been with practice for as long as 12 years.
