Our Dentists
Sadaf Taheri, DDS
Dr. Sadaf Taheri initially earned her dental degree in 2016 from Kerman University of Medical Sciences (KMU) in Iran. She practiced dentistry for nearly five years and successfully managed her own private dental office for about a year before relocating to Canada. With a commitment to continuing her professional journey, she prepared to pursue additional education in the United States and was accepted into the International Dentist Program at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in California, where she completed her training.
During her time at Loma Linda, Dr. Taheri was selected as a Pediatric Honorary Student and also served as Vice President of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD chapter), receiving a leadership award for her outstanding contributions.
While she enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, Dr. Taheri has a special passion for working with pediatric patients. She finds caring for children both inspiring and rewarding, as it continually challenges her to grow not only as a clinician but also as a person.
In her free time, Dr. Taheri enjoys traveling, camping, and pursuing lifelong learning through new skills and knowledge.
Terrin Porter, DDS
Dr. Porter was raised in Grover, Wyoming, and received his BS in Human Biology at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Porter completed his dental training at the University of Missouri where he was selected to participate in a Pediatric Honors Program in his last year of Dental School.
Upon graduation, Dr. Porter and his family moved to Casper, Wyoming where, for two years, he worked with children in a pediatric dental office. He enjoyed the atmosphere of this office so much that he decided to continue with his education and become a pediatric dentist. In 2012, Dr. Porter and his family moved to Anchorage, Alaska to complete a hospital-based pediatric dental residency at the Alaska Native Medical Center.
He and his wife Angie have a loud, active home life with six children of their own. Together, they enjoy going to their children’s activities, wrestling in the living room, Friday night campfires in the backyard, and anything they can do outdoors together. Dr. Porter is excited to be in Maine and looks forward to meeting you.
