Nicole
Office Manager
Stepping into the office manager position in 2022 has been such a joy. Gaining even more experience within different departments of the office has really helped me facilitate the patient experience. My hope is to always provide great support and guidance to both my team and patients.
My husband and I are lucky to have three wonderful sons; Roman and our twins, Parker and Everett. They keep us moving, and we love playing outside and going for walks.
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. 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 43 years. We have three grown children, six grandchildren, and two grand-dogs. I love spending time with family and friends, scrapbooking, snowmobiling, gardening, and going to the beach.
Karen
Business Assistant
You may start to recognize me at the front desk with a friendly smile as I check you in and out of appointments. I look forward to getting to know all of our patients. I am very family oriented, with a husband and three kids. My family is my pride and joy! I’ve enjoyed baking since I was a child and now, I’m passing it on to my kids. I am also creative, enjoy crafts and seeing my ideas come to life.
Wendy
Dental Assistant
I began working in the dental field in 1995 in Orthodontics before transitioning to General Dentistry at this office in 2000. My role has changed over the years and I really enjoy the variety each day brings. I love connecting with patients and I especially feel very fortunate to have made some long-lasting friendships that I truly treasure.
I am married and have two wonderful adult daughters and am caring for my amazing great-nephew, which is so completely different from raising girls! I now also have three grandsons ranging in age from 2 to 6 years old, they completely steal my heart with their love and smiles! In my free time, not that I have much of that, I enjoy being with my family and friends, camping, fishing, scrapbooking, ice skating, sledding and reading!
Andrea
Dental Assistant
I am 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 enjoy spending time with my son and family.
Lauri
Dental Hygienist
I have been working as a part time Hygienist at Southern Maine Dental since 1999. I took a leave of absence in 2015 and moved to Germany with my family where I had so many life changing experiences! I returned to our beloved home in Wells, Maine in 2019.
I have been a hygienist for over 30 years and many patients see me as a trusting friend, who values their health and overall wellbeing. I enjoy educating my patients, so they can take their health into their own hands and learn new habits to implement into daily routines. I am very thorough in patients’ periodontal health and provide services as seen necessary through radiographs, clinical examination and periodontal health measurements.
When not practicing Dental Hygiene, I enjoy my time with my high school sweetheart of 33 years, our three children, (although two are adults and on their own), our 4yr old dog, Hugo and our adorable Grandson. I am the health proxy for my two aging parents. I love being active outdoors with running, walking, hiking, beach going, and gardening. During the winter, house projects, various crafts such as scrapbooking, wood working, and epoxy resin crafts fill my time.
Amanda
Dental Hygienist
I joined Southern Maine Dental in January 2025, bringing nearly 2 decades of hygiene experience to the office! I am a lover of all animals my current count is: 19 fancy flock animals (chickens, duck and geese), 2 dogs and 1 cat. In addition to a farm load of animals, I has 5 children. I enjoy sweets, caffeine and all things that sparkle.
My favorite patients are the nice ones, which are all of the Southern Maine Dental ones so far! I immensely value curating a comfortable setting and treating patients with empathy and compassion. I live every single moment to the fullest, always learning something new from different art mediums and of course from continuing education. This allows me to be able to provide patients with excellent dental care.
Alyssa
Dental Hygienist
I was born and raised in a small town in Massachusetts, but found my love for Maine while earning my Dental Hygiene degree at the University of New England. I went on to complete graduate school at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine and now enjoy teaching the next generation of dental hygienists at UNE. I truly enjoy connecting with my patients, helping them feel comfortable, and supporting them wherever they are on their oral health journey.
When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me bartending in Old Orchard Beach during the summer or ATVing with my family and friends. I also enjoy adventures outdoors with my dog and hanging outside with my boyfriend and chickens.
Sarah
Dental Hygienist
My priority as a dental hygienist is providing high quality care while creating a relaxing, judgement free environment. I consistently expand my oral health care knowledge through a variety of continue education courses and am an active member of the American Dental Hygienists' Association. I have been a hygienist since 2013, spending time in both public health and private practice, and am exicited to join the Southern Maine Dental team!
I currently live in Biddeford with my boyfriend, Eric, and our dogs, Sadie and Lilly. Most weekends you can find us out exploring local trails or adventuring in New Hampshire or Vermont with the dogs.
