meet dr mariaDr. Maria is a Restorative Dentist. She holds a B.A. in Zoology from Miami University, and received her DMD from Case Western Reserve University school of Dental Medicine. She also is a member of and lifelong student at the Kois Center for Advanced Dental Study in Seattle, WA. She is a member of the Boston Dental Alliance, a small, esteemed group of dentists and specialists who meet to share ideas and review cases monthly. She has a passion for her career, and is a third generation dentist in her family. Most of all she loves implant, cosmetic, computer, and sedation dentistry. Dr. Maria was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and spent a year living in Sydney, Australia. She moved to Boston immediately after dental school as she loves all that New England has to offer. She has set up roots here with her husband and their “son” Yorkshire terrier Taki. Dr. Maria enjoys sharing her gift with those less fortunate. She has been on four mission teams to provide free dental care to those around the world. With these groups, she has served in the Dominican Republic, Kenya, and twice in Honduras. Her vow is to give back in this way every other year. She loves to cook, travel, and spend time with friends, family; some of which live in Greece, New York, and Cleveland. “My father, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and uncle are all dentists, so there’s no doubt that dentistry is in my blood. I love general dentistry because of the variety of help we can provide patients. The most rewarding part of what we do is when we uncover a patient’s beautiful smile. It can really change someone’s life.” |
