Meet Our Dental Team Gorham
Behind the friendly smiles of our team is a group of highly trained, experienced, and determined dental professionals. Whether you’re scheduling a visit, settling into the treatment chair, or have questions about your financial options, they’ll make sure you have everything you need to glide through your appointments with ease. You’ll learn to love our Gorham dental team members starting at your very first visit, but first, you can start getting to know them by reading below!
Betsy, Office Manager
Betsy has been with our practice since 1994, always offering kind smiles to both new and long-term patients and doing her best to help everyone feel like a part of the family. She loves her job, and it definitely shows; in fact, her mom also worked as an office manager in a dental practice and was the one who first introduced her to this industry! She completed her education at the University of Southern Maine.
Betsy resides in Standish with her husband, Paul. They have four precious grandchildren. When she isn't in the office, you may find her at any given campground. She loves camping (glamping) with her husband and their family and friends.
Deborah (“Debbie”), Dental Hygienist
Debbie’s career in the dental field impressively spans almost 40 years now, most of which were spent right here at our office! She loves spending time with such a great team and patients who feel just like family. In fact, she’s still seeing many of the very first patients she cared for after graduating from dental hygiene school at Westbrook College. She is certified in local anesthesia and dental lasers, has attended training courses with Advanced Hygiene Concepts for gum disease treatment, and achieved a Master Level status at Dental Boot Kamp regarding communication and patient care.
Deborah grew up on Sebago Lake, and her family-owned Simpson’s Hamburgers – famous for their fried onions long before McDonalds was around! Her hobbies outside of work include gardening, boating, cooking, and exploring the North Maine woods.
Darlene, Dental Assistant / Assistant Team Leader
Darlene has actually been assisting Dr. Ted since he first opened the doors of Morgan Dental Care – well over 40 years ago! You’d have a hard time finding someone outside of his family who knows him better than she does. She loves the people she works with, including both the staff members and the patients.
Darlene currently lives in Limington with her husband, Tony. They have two grown sons and eight (going on nine!) grandchildren. When she isn’t busy at work, she spends her time kayaking, hiking, biking (both pedal and motor), doing karaoke, sewing, knitting, and tinkering with all sorts of other crafts. Got a TV that doesn’t work? Bring it to her, and she can fix it in 10 minutes!
Mandi, Dental Assistant
Mandi’s career in the dental field has covered almost two decades so far, with half of them spent right here at our practice. She studied at the University of New England and has also attended Dental Boot Kamp in addition to earning her sedation and radiology certifications. She loves being able to help people feel confident about their smiles and is always ready to crack a joke or play a prank when needed.
Mandi is from the Gorham area and is married with two children named Mya and Gavin. Her hobbies outside of the office include camping, snowmobiling, trying new restaurants, and hanging out with her loved ones. For her first job, she actually worked as a turkey who waved to passersby outside of a local restaurant – feel free to talk turkey to her next time you come in!
Natasha, Patient Coordinator
Natasha is from Limington, and she’s one of the newest members of the Morgan Dental Care team. She loves coming into a workplace every day that’s filled with fun and laughter! Meeting all of the patients is always a highlight for her.
At home, Natasha has two children named Kyra and Zach and a boyfriend named Nick. She is a very spontaneous person and is always up for an adventure when she isn’t busy at the practice. Most of all, she loves spending quality time with her family and friends.
Melissa, Hygiene Coordinator
Originally from Hollis, ME, Melissa attended Andover for her undergraduate degree. She worked as an office coordinator for about two years at another location, and she also attended the All Star Dental Academy training program, earning her certifications to later become a hygiene coordinator. The best part about her job is working in a friendly and caring team environment.
Aside from dentistry, Melissa is married and has several children along with four beautiful grandchildren with another one due in June. Other than spending time with her friends and loved ones, she also enjoys camping, making a nice fire, and visiting warm, sunny places.
Angela, Expanded Functions Dental Assistant
With close to two decades of experience in the dental field, Angela loves meeting new people and helping them achieve their most beautiful and healthiest smiles. Born and raised in Waterboro, ME, she studied at the University of Southern Maine before attending the University of Maine Augusta. She is certified by the Dental Assisting National Board and also received her licenses in radiology and Expanded Functions Dental Assistant. She’s even undergone courses in CEREC and IV sedation, and she takes at least 12 continuing education credits every year.
Away from the office, Angela lives happily with her husband and they enjoy spending time doing things together, such as bass fishing, running, hiking, kayaking, playing cribbage, and hanging out with friends. When she isn’t listening to true crime podcasts, she is the chairperson for the Waterboro Cemetery Committee as well as a member of the Maine Old Cemetery Association, where she helps repair stones and maintain local cemeteries. Fun fact: Angela loves Halloween and typically has her house partially decorated year-round in orange and black with pumpkins and skulls, and she even has a 12-foot skeleton in the front yard named Esqueleto.
