Meet Dr. Maria B. Steed

Dentistry allows me to serve and care for the well-being of others in a way that I know really makes a difference. I am not only able to contribute to making brighter smiles but improving the quality of lives, as better oral health leads to greater overall bodily health for my patients.

My patients and their families make each day interesting. There are stories and anecdotes, and laughs. Real friendships form between my patients and myself, and there is always something to learn from each of them.

For me, it is great being part of a team and working together with others on a common mission. The patients here come first. The office is warm and inviting, but also fun. You can tell that people are happy to see us and their genuine smiles mean the world to us.

This really is the greatest profession in which to be involved and the best people with whom to work. We do hope you will choose us to care for your and your family’s smile needs.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending my free time with my family. My husband Eric and I have a son, Mitchell and two daughters, Ella and Klara. We can often be found outside enjoying all the wonderful attractions Maine has to offer.
