Just wanted to share a special thanks to Diane, dental hygienist. My family and I have been patients at Southern Maine Dental for years and have always appreciated the staff. My teenage daughter went today for the first time without me today and I was pleasantly surprised to hear how well she related to Diane. Dental appointments are not something you typically enjoy but my daughter shared Diane genuinely engaged with her the entire appointment and left there saying she loved Diane. Applause to Diane for relating to a teenager and making her experience pleasant!

Consistently outstanding! Everyone here seems to have the perfect blend of professionalism (reassuring) and friendliness (making it a pleasant experience!) Everyone in my family goes, different ages and different personalities, and the staff adjusts and delights everyone. We are so thankful that we found this dental practice! I could not recommend them more highly!

I called and asked if they accepted Mainecare as coverage for their office. The receptionist- Nicole, in a very snobby tone replied, " oh, no we don't!" Then I asked if she knew anyone in the area that did. She said no. Then she told me an outright lie, which was that if I had Mainecare and I was over the age of 21, then I could not get dental coverage. In the day and age when dental care is so important and so easy to obtain, it does not look very good for your office that you only cater to the rich, and are lying to clients when they call concerning their healthcare.
Glad you have made so much money having your noses in the air. Maybe you should give back to the community at some point? I called back after I made an appointment at another dentist's office and told Nicole she was out of line. I hope she doesn't mislead any more people seeking dental care.

5 stars is not high enough! I was referred, (by my previous dentist of 10 years) for a dental emergency while my dentist-was on vacation to Dr Steed and Dr Keneally. When I contacted them they immediately provided me with an appointment and while there, discussed several options, financial and dental, on how they could help. When Dr Steed completed my work, I couldn't believe how, fast, professional and compassionate she was to another dentists patient.
I was so pleased with how my tooth felt and looked I knew her passion and quality was superior to my dentist. While checking out I met Nicole, Kim and Denise of the office staff-they shared the same level of caring and welcoming personalities as Dr Steed and her dental assistants. It has been a few years since my emergency appointment and my only regret is Southern Maine Dental was not my original dental office.! I have referred many friends to them, all pleased with excellent dental care and very accommodating customer service. It may seem odd, but going to the dentist is now a pleasant experience!

Dr. Kenneally and his support staff are always professional and caring. They are very responsive in emergency situations, and have provided excellent care for both my husband and myself for many years.

Always a pleasure to see everyone in the office here. Dr Maria and her staff are outstanding! They take the time to listen and are genuinely friendly, personable and highly professional. Like most people, I could find more enjoyable ways to spend my time other than having dental work. Although at Dr. Maria's practice I actually enjoy my time there and always feel comfortable and confident with the quality of care. I aways look forward to my visit there!
