Smilestry is dental care reimagined. Founded by Dr. Julissa Guerra in Scarborough, Maine, this isn’t a corporate practice trying to rush you through appointments. This is a thoughtfully designed studio where cutting-edge technology amplifies personalized care, where your comfort isn’t an afterthought, and where exceptional results are simply standard.
Smilestry isn’t your typical dental office. This is where precision meets personalization, where cutting-edge technology serves genuine care, and where your time and comfort are actually prioritized. Founded by Dr. Julissa Guerra, our modern Scarborough studio redefines what dental care should feel like — elevated, transparent, and built entirely around your needs.
When Dr. Julissa Guerra discovered Maine, she knew she’d found home. But she also recognized a gap: exceptional dental care shouldn’t mean choosing between cutting-edge technology and genuine human connection. So she built Smilestry to deliver both — a practice where innovation enhances care rather than replacing it. Every detail at Smilestry exists for a reason. The boutique atmosphere calms anxiety. The technology ensures precision. The bilingual team ensures understanding. The same-day availability respects your time. Nothing here is generic or accidental — it’s all intentionally designed around what patients actually need and deserve from modern dentistry.
The result? A practice where patients don’t dread appointments. Where treatment feels elevated but accessible. Where advanced care doesn’t mean impersonal service. Smilestry has quickly become the choice for Scarborough patients who refuse to compromise on quality, comfort, or results.
Dr. Julissa Guerra is the founder and lead dentist of Smilestry, a modern dental practice in Scarborough, Maine, dedicated to elevated, patient-centered care. Her passion for dentistry began at a young age in Guatemala, inspired by the powerful role a healthy, confident smile plays in overall well-being. Dentistry allows Dr. Guerra to blend science, artistry, and compassionate care while helping patients feel their best.
At 20, Dr. Guerra moved to the United States, embracing the challenges of a new culture and language with determination and purpose. She is fluent in both English and Spanish, allowing her to connect with and care for a broader community of patients. She graduated with honors from California State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a minor in Chemistry before earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. She later completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency through Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where she refined her approach to comprehensive, evidence-based care.
After discovering Maine, Dr. Guerra knew she had found a place that felt like home — drawn to its natural beauty, strong sense of community, and quality of life. It was here that Smilestry was born: a thoughtfully designed dental studio offering general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and modern restorative care in a calm, welcoming environment. Built with her heart and soul, Smilestry reflects Dr. Guerra’s belief that dentistry should feel personal, transparent, and elevated, with a strong focus on comfort, trust, and long-term oral health.
