Denise

Business Assistant

I have changed course after being office manager for 39 years. I'm now working 2 days a week and can say I'm officially semi-retired. 

I help at the front desk when needed and tackle work assignments as they come up. I have made so many long lasting friendships over the years.

It's a pleasure to help in any way I can!

Wendy

Dental Assistant

I primarily assist Dr. Steed with patient care. I really enjoy getting to know my patients and trying to make them feel comfortable while they are here. I also look forward to catching up with them when they come back in for a visit. Ours is a small office, and I have been fortunate to have made some long lasting friendships that I truly treasure.

I am married and have two wonderful, beautiful, and amazing adult daughters, and am caring for my great nephew who is a complete sweetheart! I have two grandsons, Tahkota and Oliver, who steal my heart with their smiles! In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and friends, being outdoors, scrapbooking, reading, and bike riding.

Andrea

Dental Assistant

My primary position here at Southern Maine Dental is Dr. Steed's assistant. We have been working together for over a decade! I love being a dental assistant. It is my goal to help each patient be as comfortable as possible during their visits.

When I’m not assisting, I’m spending time with my friends or family.

Kim

Business Assistant

As one of the voices that will welcome you to our office, I’m here to help with whatever is needed. Most of my time is spent taking care of the day-to-day activities of the business office including maintenance of electronic records, scheduling appointments, accounts receivable, insurance processing, referrals, prescriptions, and phone calls. I enjoy the time spent with our patients, and working closely with a great team!

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 39 years. We have three grown children, four granddaughters, and four grand-dogs. I love spending time with family and friends, scrapbooking, snowmobiling, gardening, and going to the beach.

Nicole

Office Manager

I am excited to start my new journey as the office manager. I step into this role with more than 10 years' experience coupled with a versatile background of working in all departments of the dental office.

My husband Derek and I are lucky to have three amazing sons; Roman, and our twins Parker and Everett. They keep us busy, but in our free time we like to go for walks outside.

I look forward to developing my management capabilities with the support of a great team. 

Debbi

Dental Hygienist

I’ve provided hygiene care for patients of all ages in this practice for more than 25 years. I especially love working with children, but I also enjoy the ongoing relationships that naturally develop over time between staff members and patients in a general practice. Many of our patients are either extended family of co-workers or friends of other existing patients. Our entire staff is absolutely phenomenal! From our doctors to every member of the team, we are all warm, welcoming, and dedicated to patient care.

I am married to my wonderful husband, Don, and we have one son, Tyler. My favorite forms of exercise have always been dancing and skiing, but when it comes time to relax, I love to travel. My hobbies include decorating, gardening, and baking.

Lauri

Dental Hygienist

My mission as a Registered Dental Hygienist of 30 yrs is to provide patients with the utmost quality of treatment, by being thorough in my work, kindness and listening to patient’s needs.

I work closely with patients to improve their oral health by taking xrays regularly, providing thorough periodontal screenings, oral cancer screenings, scaling of the teeth, and providing fluoride treatments.  Also, by placing sealants on children’s teeth to protect them from possible future decay. I strive to work together with patients in providing home care instruction to further assist patients in improving their oral health. My willingness to help everyone in the practice to make the team strong in order to provide each patient a wonderful dental experience.

I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart for 30 yrs now.  We have 3 amazing children. We have been residence of Wells for 18 yrs. On my spare time I enjoy running, walking our dog Hugo, hiking, working around our home, sign making, going to the beach, crafting and volunteering in our community.

Diane

Dental Hygienist

I am very fortunate to have had the experience and long term relationship with the same career for the past 30+ years. I have raised two wonderful kids with lots of challenges and adventures. Now that they are grown I enjoy my time off with walks on the beach and tending to my garden. I look forward to continuing to give my patients quality care until the next chapter begins.

Cassie

Dental Hygienist

I am passionate about helping my patients have the healthiest mouth possible. Building relationships with my patients is one of my favorite parts of being a dental hygienist. As a Biddeford native, I couldnt be more proud to be part of the Southern Maine Dental team.

In my free time I enjoy yoga, hiking, reading, and exploring the beautiful hidden gems Maine has to offer.

Noelle

Business Assistant

I am so excited to be on this new journey with Dr. Steed and her staff. My 15+ years of experience in customer service coupled with my love of a challenge will help me maintain the best experience for the patients and consistently meet their needs. I look forward to many years with such a great group in a wonderful dental practice.

I am a mom of two great kids and I have a very hard-working husband. When we have time, we love to go skiing and hiking. Our goal is to acquire a camp where we can spend our weekends outside and on the water. I enjoy communicating with everyone who is part of this dental community.
